Edit: whoopsies. The way my comments were formatted I erroneously thought you were talking about bird flu, not the regular flu. Dumb mistake on my end
Okayyyy just going to stop you there. Bird flu is NOT knocking down and hospitalizing the elderly and those with crappy lungs. There are only 67 confirmed cases, almost all of them are from people working directly with the animals, almost all of them are very mild, and there's no evidence of human-human transmission.
I'm all for watching this and being cautious, but I'm also obligated to call out (even well intentioned) misinformation when I see it.
the flu flu, not the bird flu
My mistake. I think seeing a comment about bird flu right above it, as well as the part about egg prices, made me think they were talking about bird flu. I edited my comment
