Flu isn't a forever thing as such, there are differing strains of influenza during flu season and each has a vaccine, covid does not.

Yes that was a tweet but overall from what I have seen he just shouts everyone down, most of us know we have to be cautious, but even his own sons did not stick to the rules rigorously that to me makes him a hypocrite. fingers crossed there will be a vaccine at some point.

We're not discussing his interview techniques just this tweet. If he were not sticking to the rules then yes he would be a hypocrite, however he can't control what his family do or don't do. Like all parents once kids grow up all you can do is offer advice.
A vaccine can't come soon enough, every country is in a race to develop it so fingers crossed! That will be a fantastic day.

No disagreement from me in the slightest from me.
I'm just surprised a little that across the Country to some, such things still appear to need to be pointed out.

I agree with what Carol McGiffin wrote. A lot of the media response has been reactionary and panicky, with a lack of consideration for the long-term, and it looks like Piers Morgan was a major part of that (though I don't watch his shows).

[Kizzy]

For me Carols view panders to those who are simply bored with Covid news and the realities of rises in other countries that are spiking again.
Look at the backlash when we ignored what was happening in Italy, we were slow to react to that and it cost yhe lives of thousands. All he is suggesting is we all keep our eye on the ball on this, ignorance is not bliss.

Ugh, I hate to say it but he's right about it not being over, until an effective vaccine is widely available, we're gonna have to keep Covid in mind and act accordingly. People who act like it's over will only cause more waves of it that will shut the country down more than it already is.

That said, he's a prissy bitch that throws out **** that he can't take in return and she's a moron who is crying project fear over a global pandemic.

[Tom4784]

Also someone else's actions doesn't make what he is saying hypocritical, I hate the bastard but that logic is plain dumb.

The only way he'd be hypocritical if he was saying what he was saying and then breaking lockdown protocols and such.

How do we know that he didn't pull up his kids on it?
