Some who are vaccinated against the flu but get it anyway have reduced symptoms and severity.

If 1,000 people are exposed to and get the flu and another 1,000 people are exposed to and get COVID-19, statistics say 1 of those who get the flu will die, 10 who get COVID-19 will die. That is the problem. Along with the fact that there is no vaccine at this point. And probably more than a year before one can be developed, tested, and produced in mass quantities to sufficiently vaccinate the population.
I agree James..... until we get control, CA, IL and NY have been leaders in being proactive, and are posting signs.... seriously though, wash and keep a safe distance from the hugely vulnerable elderly
