Covid isn't the covid from last year. It's now the new flu bug and that didn't frighten anyone even though it killed 50-70,000 a year. The only difference is that covid can kill the elderly and immunocompromised more easily. Otherwise, it's the flu.

I happen to know several people who have died from covid...but I don't know anybody who has died from the flu. That makes me think that covid isn't the flu...and I think many people out there feel the same as I do. My sister died of covid...and I'm pretty sure that she would have survived the flu.
