Hot take on the Coronavirus
Comparing the mortality rate of the #Coronavirus to the mortality rate of the flu is idiotic and stupid because there's a vaccine/cure for the flu; there isn't for the #Coronavirus.

I feel it's better and like, you know, less racist and stuff... (racism as a euphemism for anything offensive that might hurt someone's feelings) to say "it's not 100% accurate" rather than say "its idiotic".

2. That's why I said it's a euphemism. I was being sarcastic/humorous. The word racist has been so over used... what does it even mean anymore?
1. I feel it's better because you are basically calling every person who made that comparison an idiot. And that's not accurate. Someone who says a less than accurate statement hasn't said something "idiotic", maybe they were just using the closest situation they could think of at the time.
Everything that is incorrect, isn't automatically "idiotic". It's just a very problematic (to borrow a PC term you might understand) way of saying it because it encourages conflict. You know someone will get their feelings hurt because you called them an idiot and they will probably come at you with something a little worse than "idiotic" and it will escalate from there. All because you wanted to feel high and mighty by insulting a large percentage of people.
At the end of the day its not That big a deal. But you asked so, I thought you deserved a proper answer. I make these same mistakes all the time. But maybe if someone pointed it out and explained it to me every now and then, I might grow to be a better person... who knows?
