Seasonal flu is still out there. Nobody thinks it doesn't kill people. But can't shut down everything because of it either. Same for corona.

COVID is 10x as deadly as the flu and far more contagious. In 2021, when half a million people in the US died to COVID, they didn't even bother to count flu deaths because they were so low. We accidentally wiped out whole strains of the flu.

This attitude of "we can't hurt business no matter how many people die" is insane.
