I posted a few posts above that the flu has killed more than 100 times more people in the world than Covid.
I was listening to a infectious disease doctor one day on some podcast or other who said that at any one time there are about 100 common viruses floating around causing illnesses of differing seriousness among humans. Some are more commonly seen than others. Some cause mild symptoms and we usually refer to them as the common cold. Others cause more severe symptoms and we lump those together and call them "flu". There are also other more serious ones.
About a year ago, on either this thread or a previous one, you compared the numbers of deaths due to flu at 30,000 or 40,000 per year (I forget the exact number you used; USA numbers) and compared it to the known number of Covid deaths AT THAT TIME, which was a few hundred and you concluded that Covid was not serious. It made no sense at the time to compare
annual flu deaths with the
up-to-then deaths due to Covid, but it must have made sense to you. Well, the USA had about 500,000 deaths in one year due to Covid. This should have caused you to revisit your thinking.
Nowadays, you compare total deaths due to flu, apparently for the whole of the last century or so (or am I misunderstanding) to the
up-to-now Covid deaths. You're using the same logic as last spring, but translated it to a different time of reference. It made no sense to compare the numbers in that way last year and it makes no sense now.
You have decided, for reasons of your own, that Covid is not important and all your analyses somehow support that. At best, that logic is suspect. Over time and different discussions, you have shown yourself to take pride in being a contrarian, and seem to justify that to yourself because it makes you feel independent and not a follower of trends. You are confusing independence of thought with contrarianism, they are not the same thing. If everyone in the room looks up at the sky and says it's blue, your calling it yellow does not make you an independent thinker, it makes you wrong.
Luckily, mostly due to various interventions, practical and vaccine, controlling Covid seems now possible. Over time, with some more luck, the virus will mutate to be less virulent. Your notion that it was never anything to worry is preposterous.
