I have never had a flu vaccine...MMR, tetnas and the rest, yes. And I have had the flu, it knocked me on my keister about 8 years ago, the fist day was horrible, the second day I was on the mend...day 3 I was back to work.
When the covid-19 vaccine comes out forget it. Maybe when I get to 70+, or if I develop diabetes or a similar condition...but otherwise, i will pass. Watch them try and make in mandatory....in Canada I can see that happening, in the United States no way.

Just to let you know, not everyone can donate blood. I cannot because my Rheumatoid Arthritis might trigger someone else to get RA, and because of the meds, which are strong cancer drugs. I can't donate organs, but hopefully my body can be donated to science or to med students, who can see all my deformities and damage, and understand what a serious disease RA is.

Stress is a slient killer, it weakens our immune system making us more prone to disease. Right now the way most media outlets are reporting on coronavirus, its designed to increase fear, anxiety and stress....and drive ratings. Hyperbolic messaging with scary sounding words and eerie music in the background.
Here's a new video with none of that, just simple facts. I've verified what I can in terms of the numbers being presented and everything I've seen checks out. How bad is this coronavirus pandemic? When all is said and done things might not be that bad.....if you're young and otherwise healthy, this will help you take a deep breath and relax. If you're older and/or with an underlying health condition...then vigilance is very much needed, but try to remain calm and breathe.
Would love to read some comments, especially from those succumbing to fear and all the doom and gloom reporting:
Be blessed all, our lives our not our own, we belong body and soul to Him

Thomas Sowell often says, "There are no solutions, there are only trade-offs."
Too many people think in terms of zero-sum. Keep businesses open and most people will surely die of the disease. But what of the death caused by economic depression with all its stressors? There are some well-verified stats indicating a statistical correlation and they typically out-do even the more morose COVID19 statistics.
So that has to be taken into consideration. Then there are questions on the meaning of life itself which are not altogether separate. Our jobs and associations are important in more ways than one- they give us a purpose, a community, and an exchange of goods and services that bless individuals and families. Basic social interaction, including touch, is extremely important to authentic happiness. Being clinically depressed in an environment like this must feel like one of Dante's circles.
I think the one thing we can draw from the hysteria and hyperbole is that people do not have a vision that integrates the whole of life. With a vision that accounts for the one and the many, we find the happy and forgotten virtue of prudence. Prudence would tell us we can't engineer out of every crisis. We have to weigh decisions wisely and understand the relative costs. Maybe we should save lives and bravely display the "open" sign instead of living in fear.

If that is their purpose for joining, and especially those who name themselves after the virus, they're silliness outweighs their potential of success. It's a Christian forum and they think they're going to lead us away from what brought us here?
They're also bad at math! Outnumbered how many to one or two? That would make them the heretics wouldn't it?

=============================================
it's a good thing when God decides to 'open our eyes' to the present 'evil that is surrounding us' -
GAL. 1:4.
Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world,
according to the will of God and our Father:
ROM. 3:12.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
THY KINGDOM come, THY KINGDOM COME'...
ISA. 32:17.
(((And The Work of Righteousness shall be Peace; and the effect of Righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.)))
how beautiful are these words???

Yes it is - but it is not good to spend our lives bitterly trying to find out every evil. 'whatever is good, think on those things' - because His will for us is to be thankful in all things 
For example how many families are spending much more time with each other now? How many people who were proud in themselves are looking to God to preserve them now?
This isn't just a bunch of bad consequences. There are many things that I am grateful about in these present circumstances
