What a frikkin joke!
Seriously? Covid cant be that a bad thing this confirms. Having had flu in the past, I can attest to this too, Covid was nowhere near as bad as having the flu, although i would describe the symptoms as different.

I dont think we have anything more to worry about with covid...
I dont want to see mask mandates to be the next normal to combat the common cold or flu.

The current situation just shows how important vaccination is. The flu is currently more serious because not everyone is vaccinated so more are being more seriously affected. And far too many people are not wearing masks when they should, and not keeping an appropriate distance from others.

I would really like to see how flu deaths get reported this year, will be an interesting read.
Ive never bothered with flu shots, only had flu about 2-3 times over the last 20 years. Common colds are miserable too but they dont even have a vaccine for those yet, probably no point as they keep mutating so much.

If anything positive comes out of this covid situation is that we might see more people be more considerate and stay home when sick, no brainer really.
