The argument that it is no worse than the flu is nonsense IF you are trying to show that the present actions of the government are a silly over reaction.
Perhaps there is an overreaction..but comparing it to the flu is really not any more valid than comparing it to the yearly number of deaths to cancer or heart disease.
