You made reference to one having a vaccine and one not. being able to contain one and not the other. certainly looks like a comparison of them which I’m being told we can’t do.

Oh dear. I can't say anything else to you other than go and read up on what you're talking about mate Honestly, anything else would just be continuing a crazy crazy debate Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcowl Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) I'm going to Join together with the Who on this one. the idea that you can't compare this virus with the flu because they are two different things doesn't make sense. the whole point of a comparison is to have 2 different things otherwise you can only compare something with itself. In another thread I compared corona virus deaths with smoking deaths. is that a valid comparison what are we allowed to try and compare it with?

Similar things for starters Comparisons between a Coronavirus and the flu is like comparing a ford fiesta with pencils Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
