I Can't Let The Doctors Permission Go - I'm Just Hardheaded

Okay, I can’t let this go since I am in the “old f**t” category. It seems to me that cruise lines should have been requiring a doctor’s permission slip for 65+ years of age passengers for the last few decades.  Look at the CDC stats for the common flu at https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018.htm . Oh, remember there is a vaccine and treatment for the seasonal flu.

Also, the lines should require that all passengers have their flu/pneumonia shots before boarding since they are more deadly than Covid-19. See the chart at: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

It appears that the seasonal flu and pneumonia are more deadly with vaccines and treatments than Covid-19 is without a vaccine or treatment.

Looking at America the flu kills about 12,000 to 61,000 people a year. Covid 19 is at 38,000 in three months and that is with heavy social distancing measures. Covid is also more contagious than the seasonal flu as well. In terms of pneumonia that is at about 50,000 deaths per year. 

I don’t get what is so polarizing about this virus. In a shutdown America Covid-19 weekly numbers are passing the leading cause of death in America which is heart disease.
