It's not flu. We controlled sars1 and mers and smallpox and polio to name a few.
Not impressed with your list of contrarians. I work with 100s of doctors none of whom agree with the denial position. I've also worked in the past with doctors who think being maverick is a badge of honour when in fact it's just a risk. The people who's videos you've been posting in the past two days are hanging out with fascists and are paid for by billionaires who don't give a toss about you but do want to make more money.
This argument is almost entirely analogous to the debate over global warming - muddy the water, create doubt, move the goalposts. The dissent is being spread by exactly the same think tanks and paid for by the same billionaires. You may buy it but to be honest - and i read the papers - I think it's a load of horse.
