I don’t know what rednecks sound like ?
which bit is ‘redneck’?
I see the bigger picture. if 100 million die or would have died the world would be a better place. stop putting so much importance on your own existence . baby.

It still works out cheaper to have a flu vaccination which may only provide 60-70% iummunisation as the costs of not immunising will outweigh the cost of delivering the vaccination.
Its more of lowering the abolsute numbers through prevention.

We might all be healthier thanks to this virus. A long-term wheelchair user shared tips on staying safe. During 20 years of using a wheelchair, he learned how important keeping hands, face, and wheelchair clean is to prevent getting colds and flu. He went from constant colds and flu to almost none, just down to hygiene, which most people are now doing too.
In theory, this is enough to stop these viruses infecting a population. Maybe if we all keep up with the hand washing, cleaning shares items, handles, shopping trolleys etc. and be a bit more careful about coughing and sputtering over everybody around us, there will be few work days lost to sickness, and fewer flu deaths every year.
Flu costs the British economy 1.35 billion
That's a nice cash boost to the UK - if people keep washing their hands! There's a reason why that grubby work mate you have is always catching a cold ... he's just dirty and needs to wash a bit more often!

me? you? whoever?
Heard a radio program a while back where a caller said he had been training for this virus most of his life...
When asked why, he replied I've got OCD!
Has is been said what is happening when a person is tested positive but is asymptomatic?
Is it that the person has only a small infection or is the person's body fighting off the virus or is it, for some reason, present but just having no effect?
As for the above about cleanliness and OCD, contact with germs etc. is necessary to be able to combat them - so is it that reducing the amount is the main factor? You might think this is the same thing but it is not really as no contact through life will leave a person very susceptible. Perhaps the slightly less clean are doing better.
The person in the wheelchair might now believe he won't get a cold so he doesn't get stressed about it when he has the first slight symptoms.

True, they say that many of the minor health problems so many suffer from, is due to lack of exposure to germs - due to people being too clean and clinical. Modern babies are born and live in a very sterile environment, so do not build up any resistance.
The hygiene hypothesis, its pretty complicated and not proven. It mostly seems to apply, if at all, mostly when you're a baby. It isn't a good way to live your life as an adult.
Damn, I've been telling my wife I mustn't clean the house too often or we will lose immunity to germs.
