Plus, when you bring up any kind of comparison with the flu, no matter how nuanced you try to be, the general public just ignores all the nuance. Using the word "flu" anywhere near a COVID-19 discussion reinforces the "See, it's just the flu, bro" mentality that convinced vast swaths of people to downplay the disease.

Worth mentioning that Hackernews isn't the general public. Don't need to worry about the moral hazard of nuance here.
