COVID isn't 'just like the flu' and we shouldn't be comparing them, epidemiologist says.
COVID isn't 'just like the flu' and we shouldn't be comparing them, epidemiologist saysOh do I ever agree now after having it now even triple vaxxed. Way worse than the flu. What’s horrible is also how hard it’s knocked down our 20 month daughter. Last few days a nightmare.
Liar
Why wouldn't you compare them. Is there an agenda here to obfuscate? I have a first hand knowledge. I suffered UK (alpha) variant. It was turbo 10X flu for me. Like nothing flu or other wise experienced. I've EARNED my robust immunity. I have the extended set of antigens.
Every time any news outlet writes about this virus their comment section fills up with Twitter doctors and pro pandemic nuttery.
Just got covid and killed it with nyquil
Neurotic shut-ins aren't like regular people and we shouldn't be comparing them.
This “expert” you’ve quoted, Colin Furness, has a direct affiliation to a federally-funded organization called the Evidence Synthesis Network, which is an adjunct of the Ontario Science Table. I’m sure you are aware of that fact and have disclosed it, correct?
It aggravates and infuriates me that more than two years into this thing, we still have to tell people that covid is not like influenza.
Hahahahahahaha
I’ve had it twice. It’s not like the flu it’s like a mild cold.
There’s no space in hell for lies of this nature.
.. other then death
Trust the science or trust your science?
Early treatment with iverm3ctin.
'epidemiologist' says
Is this what he’s referring to?
Yes it's a cold not a flu for starters ....
made 67 calls before they found this guy who was prepared to make a statement to support their government backed narrative.
It's a cold. Move on.
It’s more like a cold.
This guy in yet another CBC story.
Agreed. It’s not as severe as the flu. I have it right now. It’s very similar to the common cold.
More Expert's In This Feed..LOL
Not a flu more like seasonal allergies
Wrong
How old is this
Your right. I caught the flu a couple of years ago, and it was bad. I was out for days and felt like shit for weeks. When I got Covid, I lost my taste and smell. That was it. But I'll tell you, Taco Tuesday was pretty disappointing that week.
Can you psycho perverts f off already? It’s done get over it
Can’t believe this is still being talked about.
These updates are as useless as the list of hospitalizations from covid daily. Why is it necessary?
He's right. The flu is more deadly.
🙄
According the the flawed PCR test, no difference can be determined.
He looks super healthy. I had it. For me it was less than flu. I'm 63, and have other health issues.
Yes
Ok it’s more like a cold then for 95% of the people who get it. There I fixed it!
No mention of antiviral treatments: Are they effective against Omicron? Are they reducing hospitalization? Along with vaccines these treatments should be reducing death rates. Why no reporting?
That’s weird because the head doctor of BC Bonny Henry said treat like the flu.
Hows many more of these variants are we going to keep having to put up with until it becomes ‘just like the flu’. I can deal with vaccine passports and masks but the government had better not bring back mandatory testing for fully vaccinated Canadians entering Canada.
Flu more dangerous
I call it the Rona cold and flu. It flies very well
So pathetic. The reason so many are getting COVID over and over 'oh, it's just a flu'! With residual long-term effects like sense of taste, triggering diabetes, it's hella debilitating. I cannot fathom not physically distancing / being unvaccinated / masking up in crowds.
That would be like trusting someone anyone who does a CBC interview. Can you reallly belive them. I mean the CBC. For the most unethical practices and suppression of the truth for financial gain by a news agency the award goes to CBC News, again and again.
These replies are something else. It’s amazing how information sends people into complete hysterics like this. People have become so soft and just can’t handle anything anymore.
Cue all the whackos… 3..2…1
so I'm unvaxed take 4000 ui of vit d3 daily for 5 months. I just had covid. I had no cough or cold or respiratory issues. My vaxed wife who doesn't take vit d3 regularly had a bad cold for over 10 days. The writing has been on the wall all this time.
If it barks like a dog, acts like a dog, yadda yadda.
It’s over ffs 🤦🏻♂️
I can see why people compare them. I just had what I assume was the flu. Every single symptom was the same as covid…yet neither I or anyone in my household tested positive at any point.
Yes it is just like the flu……and are totally comparable, dork just wants the funding and hype to continue
“While COVID-19 has a respiratory phase, it is not a respiratory virus and it can cause serious long-term — even permanent — damage. Scientists are still working to understand the lingering effects of the disease, including the loss of brain tissue and damage to vital organs.”
The U S A has had full stadium and arena's for 2 years now...so gfy
To all the idiots, the flu never put me in a hospital on a respirator gasping for air, wishing I got vaccinated, COVID DID!
huh? now the virus is even weaker than the flu virus. The rest of the world has opened up but not Canada. why are they are still pushing that narrative? Oh, maybe it's the stockpile of vaccines the govt has to get rid of?
The ‘experts’ have been wrong from day one. They have been unaffected by restrictions yet expect people to lose their livelihoods. I’ve had covid twice, second time after 3 jabs. Enough is enough, time to treat it like a flu
Honestly. Only a complete EyeDeeTenTee would say COVID is like the flu. I KNOW it isn't. FOUR weeks later and still not up to par. Any politician who says it's like the flu should resign quickly b/c they are NOT leaders. GovernmentOfficialsDoNotGetToSayCovidIsFlu
Flu isn't just flu these days only solution is let's stop being selfish and stay away from those who aren't infected. Period
You're right, we were allowed to treat the flu, but not allowed to treat Covid. We are forced to take an ineffective vaccine, wear ineffective masks, and sanitize everything and become socially distant so we don't build up an immune system
Absolutely not.
I thought we already went thru this lecture 2 years ago.
We should also recognize how disastrous the overreaching lengths of the lock downs and mandates have been. Not to mention the hiding of serious adverse effects of the vaccine.
Keep the fear going. CBC mantra.
Sure, & what about all the comparison of covid vaccine to polio vaccines or small pox vaccine or to traffic rules etc that goes on to convince people to take a covid shot? Shouldn't that be stopped too?
Yeah. I have had both and the flu was much worse.
Little late now!
More reasons to fear Covid? Nice 👍 keeptrying fearmongering nobodybelievesyouanymore
