I wish people would stop comparing it to the flu, it's highly misleading.
1. With restrictions in place covid killed more.
2. One in ten people still experience illness 12 weeks after the infection. Covid gets into the nervous system by crossing the neural-mucosal interface. Way more people that wouldn't have ended up in hospitals with a flu do ended up in hospitals with Covid. Even with vaccines. Long covid is no joke. Etc.
> and even the common cold in rare cases. Saturate hospitals? No.
