Neither of course but given the choice perhaps the flu. But with the frenzy to find a corona vaccination - give me a week and I may change my mind. What about you? As for the flu comparison - simply that since we don't have any confidence in the corona mortality rate - the flu is more likely to be the bad bug to find you - particularly in the States. Not my intent to convince anyone on here that one virus is more/less favorable over the other. Btw...the comparison is not being made just by me.Which would you rather get?
“Mostly, the advice is stay tuned,” says Joseph Vinetz, MD, a Yale Medicine infectious disease specialist. “The bottom line is that there is a new flu-like bug. With a new virus in a culture dish, they can start looking at the biology and making drugs to treat it. Viral sequences have become available and will jump-start understanding the biology of this virus, including diagnosis and spread in human populations."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is monitoring the risk to the American public, and investigations are underway to learn more about the disease. “We really don’t know much yet,” Dr. Vinetz says, adding that there is no indication yet that SARS-CoV-2 is worse than influenza. “This is a time of watchful waiting.”
