Achooo!! A man in the elevator takes off his mask to sneeze, making sure his mask doesn’t get dirty. A family is with him in the elevator. A few days later, the man starts feeling sick. His temperature hits 39°C. He goes to the public health center to get tested for COVID-19. Ding! He gets a message the next day. He has the virus. The message also says that 3 other people who were with him were infected, too. If he hadn’t taken off his mask, he wouldn’t have infected the family. Although Influenza is a dangerous disease, COVID-19 is more severe.
There are many similarities and differences when we compare COVID-19 and the flu. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that can spread to other people. But, It can be prevented by washing hands, wearing a mask, and keeping social distance. There is no vaccine or cure for COVID-19. The fatality rate is 2.57%.There is only 1 type of virus that causes this disease which is the norvel 2019 coronavirus. Flu is also a respiratory disease that can be spread and prevented. There is also a vaccine and medicine for the disease. It’s fatality rate is 10 times less, but many people get the virus.While COVID-19 has only 1 type of virus that causes it, the flu has 2 types, which are a type and b type. All in all, COVID-19 and flu are both dangerous diseases.
It’s true that you get very sick when you catch the flu, but COVID-19 is even more deadly. Flu is better than COVID-19 because it has a vaccine and cure. If there is no cure, there is no way to help the patients. People just have to try giving different medicines until it works. The patients’ health might get worse and they might die in the middle. If there is no vaccine, there is a high risk of getting the virus when going outside. When there is an important appointment, they might end up being sick. Another reason the flu is better is that the death rate is much lower. Although a lot of people get the flu every year, many heal and only a few die when compared to COVID-19. Lastly, we don’t know a lot about COVID-19. It just came out on the last day of 2019, while influenza was found in 1918. We had a lot of time to learn about it and we know more about the flu than COVID-19, which makes it easier to prevent and cure. For all these reasons, COVID-19 is more severe than the flu.
COVID-19 and Influenza are similar in many ways. They are both respiratory diseases caused by viruses. It can spread to other people and can be prevented by washing hands, wearing masks, and social distance. But overall, I think COVID-19 is more deadly. Firstly, there isn’t a vaccine or cure. Secondly, the fatality rate is higher than Influenza. Finally, we don’t know a lot about COVID-19. If you still think COVID-19 is more safe, you are so dumb and you are wroonggg!!!
