covid might not be more infectious, it might just be less people have any existing partial resistance to sars-cov-2. Each year the flu mutates but it still has overlap with prior variants.

As sars-cov-2 mutates seasonal covid might end up less bad than the seasonal flu. Though there is no way to tell.

That is likely to be true but doesn’t really mean anything.

Spanish flu killed millions before less deadly strains mutated and became what we now call flu.

I can’t advocate for any measure that kills millions in the short term, _especially_ without data for the long term.
