Take on the need respiratory illness,

When China announces that there are no unusual or novel pathogens behind a new respiratory illness, you couldn't be faulted for being a bit skeptical. We all lines through the hell that was Covid and don't think we as a society could go through it again mainly as half the country would refuse to comply all together in a way which would make the initial Covid deniers seem pedestrian

So let's hope this time this is just a normal seasonal flu thing but somehow I'm not holding my breath
