Can we all admit now that covid is NOTHING like the flu?

Like its July, why is this thing still going? And how are we recording 60k cases a day? At that rate the whole country will have caught it by years end.

The flu goes away --- this stuff hasn't lost a step

Because people have determined that everything that the media reports is a lie, but won't bother looking into what is being reported.

They trust non-experts over medical professionals and scientist and have made this a political issue.

Keep in mind the flu season gets reset. For some reason we keep adding to the COVID numbers and haven't reset them yet. Flu numbers would be terrifying if we didn't resent the annual/seasonal flu count.

Fair enough, my comment implied that I'm suggesting that they should have already been reset. It makes sense to not reset for a couple/few years as it's still making its way around, until it reaches an annually consistent cyclical life. All I'm saying is to keep that fact in mind when comparing COVID and flu, given that one is likely comparing different seasons/ time ranges

There's been some studies that suggest those who are asymptomatic or had minor symptoms didn't have noticeable levels of antibodies a few months later... which, if true, might imply that people can keep continue to get covid until its serious

How much would a 30 day supply of Vyvanse (30mg) cost me after insurance? I know this is going to vary by plan but I'm still curious as to know how expensive of a medication this is.

My pharmacy informed me that the insurance will not cover without authorization from the psych. My psych was wary about this & instead suggested Ritalin during my session. He mentioned that insurance companies want us to first try Ritalin because they are generally cheaper. How much truth is there to this? Thanks!
