Coronavirus is not the flu. It’s worse.
Send this to anyone who still thinks Covid-19 is basically the same as the flu.

Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, has similar symptoms to the flu. They also spread in similar ways. So it’s natural to want to compare the two. But Covid-19 is very different, in ways that make it much more dangerous. And understanding how is key to understanding why we have to take it so seriously.

Temp cure: *Social Distancing*
Me: *Well, that’s an easy fix.*
Same people who wanted to stay all day home, netflix and chill suddenly wants to bring economy on track.. 😂
wash your hands and most important is wearing a mask， a simple disposable mask is enough for most situation .
@Jackie Mao some people think wearing a mask means that person is infected??? so protecting myself from possible diseases is illegal in U.S.?
@Xun Nian it’s ridiculous …
Me: Not an incel.
You: An incel.
Question: How long can you suffer from it once you start feeling sick and how long after you are “over it” do you stay infectious for??
There is a guy who was a passenger on the diamond princess who tested positive for Coronavirus for 100 days. He has a youtube channel “The REAL David Abel”. So I’ll let you do the research.
Andrew Wardle I don’t have it but 2 weeks maybe for the sick part. Though me feeling sick feels normal rip me
@L0re Online The quarantine time (in my country we call it isolation) is to check if you have the virus. As the video said, it can take 14 days for the symptoms to come out. If you catch the virus you will get sick. Well, until we get a vaccine…
Normally you would have to undergo two consecutive negative tests spaced across few days. Not sure how they deal with this virus, especially if tests are only 20% sensitive.
Don’t listen to any of these answers. No one exactly knows the answer to your question yet, Not even scientists.
1920: There will be flying cars in the future
2020: how to wash your hands
@Exzaf some people consider this to be a joke
🤣🤣🤣
Well we have autonomous cars
2020 even planes stopped flying

“Stay home”
Hahaha I do that everyday

Me in 2050: I survived loneliness,covid19 and world war three.
but the good guys lost the war, because they didn’t want to believe freedom was really at stake. now Twitter is the white-house, and twitter law doesn’t support anyone who hurts a woman. even if she lied about who the abuser was.
@Layarion Get over yourself.
You dont know if you survived yet..
Not being with people and staying home. That’s like most of my days.
Good
@Dayyumson Vlogs l watched your videos. You ever spend time with old white men?
@tim conway I’m brown
@tim conway and no
pretty lonely.

@pretend there’s a name Correct, you at 57 is a disgusting thought.
@pretend there’s a name
smh.. Kids. These days you’ll be glad/lucky to live that long. I’d be 74 if I make it to 2060.
@Omelas Homelas Oh shut up please
@pretend there’s a name Just agreeing with you: ew
Maybe in January, VOX shouldn’t have said that the flu is worse…
@brickswisher That’s what I was considering as a cure. A vaccine.
@Teethgrinder 83 just because there isn’t a vaccine doesn’t mean people don’t have a tolerance to it. Reports list at least 10% of infections being asymptomatic.
Mortality for Covid only approaches 1% for those 60+, were as Flu is fatal for both young and old.
@Wander the Nomad Well covid-19 will likely have a vaccine by “next season”.
Teethgrinder 83 — Do you think more people are currently hospitalized (and dying) right now from Influenza or CoVid-19? These aren’t hard numbers to find. (*Spoiler:* It’s Influenza. Shocker.)
@bowez9 I don’t get your point. That means those who have no symptoms may pass it on to others spreading it more and then still fueling the need for more hospital admissions. In the end social distancing is needed to avoid the strain on hospitals

You know things are bad when everyone’s forgotten about 4/20 month
April? Or April 1st?
potheads are losers
Id never forget 🙂
Yeah, how is everyone forgetting about that German mustache dude’s birthday?
Everyone will remember it on 4/20/20
*Stay inside as much as possible*
Me: Oh, I’m a pro at this.
We All Are
I can’t wrap my head around the fact that I’m living through a huge historical event. Times are just so strange
Don’t forget the Iraq War, Operation Enduring Freedom, the Libyan Civil War, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the Syrian Civil War.
@jase verez 7 billion, also a historical event.
@Spero Brown I wanted to say hte same. It’s like I’m in some B-grade science fiction movie.
Mazera DeVille Idk how old you are but you’d have to be at least like 25 to even vaguely remember 9/11, which imo was the last major event that caused a comparable level of disruption. Also not sure why you started talking about Bolivar but I’d say he’s a pretty iconic historical figure, even more so in Bolivarian countries obviously.
@Khalid Rashada A virus with a 1-3% mortality rate won”t end the world.
Me: **at home**
Government: “Stay at home”
Me: “Great, well now I don’t want to”
I always knew natural selection would pick off the spiteful ones.
Hhahah so true
It’s not about what you want
ITS THE 5G NETWORKS There powerful radiation causes a reaction like the flu but far worst with those with weak immune systems
That’s right 😂
Only a month ago you guys tweeted saying it won’t become a pandemic…….
cause its not…
@JASON BILBREY 🤦🏼♀️ I hope you’re joking
and because they’re not reliable. @ 2 minutes they compare US yearly casualty for the flu with corona virus casualties worldwide? How is that even a comparison? US population 327 MILLION, World population 7 Billion. Terrible terrible job Vox, terrible!
Denise Milfort It’s showing how quickly the virus is killing people. It’s pretty early and it’s already comparable to US flu casualties.
Everyone says STAY HOME
Homeless: are we a joke to you 🥺
“Stay away from others”
Introverts: Got it.
Stolen comment. BY FAR
Jaja true
Haha your an introvert so unique and funny good for you woww
@Beanur Juice Honestly at this rate,anyone who uses a computer for more than half an hour a day is classified as “introvert”,and anyone who even does so much as touch a ball in a time other than sports period is deemed an “extrovert”.
Nobody:
Some anti-vax mom named Karen: *It’s just a cold*
I’m anti vaccines, you can take yours and I don’t care whether you do or you don’t.
So why do you care about people who don’t?
i wish it was just some no name who said that, instead it was pretty much every media outlet and politician in january and february. And yesterday 1000 people died from it in the US.
@The Realist Because you put that on your kids and relations – absolutely moronic stance.
The Realist
Anti-vaccines? Oh brother
@The Realist youre right, we should totally just stop trying to help anti-vaxers come to their senses and let natural selection run its course.
*2 weeks ago-*
People: it’s not even that bad it’s just another flu…
*Today-*
Oh… well…
