as a short piece that points to media attitudes and coverage, sure. the world is far more vigilant and the media far more shrill and relentless.

as a comparison between coronavirus and flu, no. again, coronavirus is not the flu. a large number of people would have already been passively immune or resistant to a flu strain. coronavirus is a novel virus. are we really going to go through this again? coronavirus is many times more deadly than flu.
You're right, it's more like the common cold rather than influenza.

As a side interpretation:

"No suicides, overdoses, unemployment in 1969." -that article

Maybe no overdoses, but you still shouldn't eat the brown acid.

"no stock market crash".

yes because the economy in 1969 is really comparable to the state of the economy going into 2020.

the article is trash, really.

If you're scared, why don't you just ask your bosses if you can work remotely forever? Better than inflicting your neurosis on the rest of the population.

traffic has been getting heavier and heavier by the day. when the lockdown 1st started you could literally speed anywhere around LA for the first time in modern history without hitting traffic but now there's actually traffic jams at times. lots of ppl out and about just walking around. some of my family just had a big gathering/birthday celebration with friends and relatives lol. most these people are left-leaning and serious about the quarantine thing etc but even they are starting to not care anymore. ppl are getting antsy they want this shit over with.

these are just my observations. we gotta open up and continue some aspects of the social distancing and protect the vulnerable. death rate is essentially zero for young people (i know there's some cases of deaths in young healthy ppl or having serious symptoms but these are just highlighted in the media of course)

i am not a trump supporter i just keep shit real and i am saying open this bitch up!!

"Old times smart, new times dumb." "2020 is medieval!" "My ma and my ma's ma said." "If only we know about herd immunity now like we did back then!" "1969 was an amazing year of universal economic perfection with no human suffering apart from a little flu that I am going to use to draw flawed parallels to covid-19 for the remainder of this article."

What a headache.

The only good point it makes I suppose is that news media has the ability to massively obtrusive these days. But people don't have to enable it. Turn your notifications off if you don't want to read about covid-19 every five minutes.

My left leaning friends have all been having secret play dates and stuff. They just refuse to be open about it because they're terrified of being judged.

jay still hasn't realised that being a 40-year-old man accusing everyone of being a homo and threatening to bash people who make him mad on the internet isn't a good look.

It could be a reenactment of that 'In & Out' film. But you should probably refrain. You'll offend macbeth's fake catholic sensibilities.

This is making for an awkward triangle thing. You clearly hold a flame for uzi, uzi prefers me. Me? Imma chill and let this play out.
