It's been well-known for MONTHS that COVID is significantly more deadly than the regular flu.

To still try to downplay COVID and act like it's no worse than a regular flu is, quite frankly, willful ignorance.

I've found that it isn't ignorance, it's that they just don't care.

I know highly educated people who are more than capable of understanding the statistics underlying COVID infections, and they still say "it's just the flu".

These were people who knew about COVID in January, and were talking about what a threat it could be. Yet months later they're repeating the President's talking points.

They simply don't care.
