Yes, there's a bad flu going around. The worst flu season in the last ten years killed 40,000. Covid, with all the measures taken, has killed nearly 550,000. Quite a bit deadlier. Yes, any bad flu can be deadly under the right circumstances.

But since when was there so many idiots, and so much lunacy as for people to believe that government can stop a force of nature?

Truthfully, government cannot stop a plague, any more than it can an earthquake. see below

But you've got this massive ship of fools running around acting like it can, and throwing away liberty in order to be "saved". Pretending like a flue pandemic is suddenly an apocalypse and we should all quiver in fear and howl for salvation from our suffering begging our divine leaders to save us.

Such bullshit.
America has had 1654 covid deaths per million people.
Germany has had 908 covid deaths per million people.
Japan has had 71 covid deaths per million people.

Sure seems to me that the government has the ability to mitigate the affects of this plague.

If we had Germany deaths per million we would've saved about 250,000 American lives.
If we had Japan's deaths per million we would've saved about 525,000 American lives.

Instead we had a President that lied to the American people about it.
He has admitted he downplayed it.
