[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4588476, member: 63706"] What you are continuing to fail to understand is that saying someone has the flu or doesn't, that's it, is about as useless a statement as you can make, almost to the point of meaninglessness. Saying someone has cancer or not is the same. Saying it over and over again does not give it more meaning. If your doctor tells you you have cancer, what do you do with that information? You ask questions. "What do I do?" "What are my treatment options?" Imagine if the doctor answered "you either have cancer, or you don't, end of argument." I guess you would just have to accept that, because "End of argument." Should we treat all flu cases the same? Hospitalize people with the sniffles and those who develop pneumomia? Or send home unconscious patients and tell them to eat soup? Flu or no flu, that's it. Ha! Some viruses can cause cancer. Is there a meaningful difference between that fact and saying cancer is a virus? Probably, but don't ask jack, he'll just say you either got it or you don't. [/QUOTE]
