Has COVID-19 become no more dangerous than the flu for most people?That's a question that scientists are debating as the country heads into a third pandemic winter. Early in the pandemic, COVID was estimated to be 10 times more lethal than the flu, fueling many people's fears.
"We have all been questioning, 'When does COVID look like influenza?''' says Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco. "And, I would say, 'Yes, we are there.'"
Gandhi and other researchers argue that most people today have enough immunity — gained from vaccination, infection or both — to protect them against getting seriously ill from COVID. And this is especially so since the omicron variant doesn't appear to make people as sick as earlier strains, Gandhi says.
So unless a more virulent variant emerges, COVID's menace has diminished considerably for most people, which meansthat they can go about their daily lives, says Gandhi, "in a way that you used to live with endemic seasonal flu."

​

But there's still plenty of differing views on this topic.While the threat from COVID-19 may be approaching the peril the flu poses, skeptics doubt it's hit that point yet.
"I'm sorry — I just disagree," says Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House's medical adviser, and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "The severity of one compared to the other is really quite stark. And the potential to kill of one versus the other is really quite stark."

What the fuck are you trying to say here, Celticguy?

Are you saying we should have treated this virus the way your hero, Trump, wanted to treat it...as a mere nuisance?

Are you saying that the million plus who died, only think they are dead, because the virus was not nearly as vicious as it was?

What are you saying, Chump?
