Remember with Flu, the doctors and nurses can't get it, and can't spread it. The danger with this is that all the doctors get sick/quarantined and then no-one gets treated.

Anyone can get the flu, even those with flu shots

They are much less likely to get it after having the flu shot.

Absolutely, but to say medical staff can’t get or spread flu is false

By making that point though, you deliberately making an argument to support the 'it's just like flu' theory of not worrying. Which is a flawed viewpoint.

I’m 100% not making that point, nor do I believe it
