Re: further.

That's a really dumb comparison.

Broken bones ARE pretty rare. We don't all go around wearing padded suits all the time, just in case we slip over and break our arm whilst walking. But it DOES happen. Sometimes people slip over and bang their head and die, but we don't mandate that everyone must walk around wearing a helmet just in case.

And even though 'flu is a lot more common than broken arms, it's not common enough that I'm going to go around wearing a mask for my whole life, for something I've literally never caught in my whole life. Although I suspect it's more common that that, and I've just shrugged it off as a bad cold.
