So the narrative that it's "just the flu" is incorrect? I'm trying to figure out my stance on this. I spent months telling people it's just the flu but now my President is saying it's worse than that, what do I say?

I have always been against saying it's jut the flu.

It does not appear that was the overall sentiment here though

I can't control what people here think or say.

Early on, a lot of people from media, government, and the medical community were saying that it wasn't worse than the flu. Then all of a sudden it was. It would be difficult to believe everyone would suddenly go "oh hey the people telling me it was no worse than the flu are now saying lock yourselves inside or the beer bug will kill your grandma." The messaging wasn't consistent from anyone with a platform at the start and that could have soured people on taking their word on it when they changed tune later on.
