What kind of shitty math is that?
Do you think people in nursing homes don’t die from flu? What’s the mortality rate for flu if you eliminate nursing home populations lol?
You can’t say something is the same as flu if you just want to change metrics to fit your agenda lol
As I recall, one of the significant differences is that the flu mortalities are mostly young children with underdeveloped immune systems, so it might not be that different, but your point still stands: Removing the most vulnerable segment skews the actual numbers, and since so many people don't show symptoms, it'd be pretty easy for some "nobody-tells-me-how-to-live-my-life" blowhard to get it and pass it to others because he was too much of a tantrum-throwing child to cover his mouth and nose. Those others may have higher risks, or they may have to interact with people of higher risk.
It's really not that complicated. Maybe a guy likes his odds of not experiencing symptoms. That's fine. But what does he think the odds are of passing it to someone else ... who passes it to his Gammies at Sunday dinner, and she gets sick?

If a business demands it for entry and you don't want to abide...feel free to go elsewhere.
Get that private property rights nonsense outta here. ;)
