Even though thousands die from influenza every year I don't consider it a "deadly" disease. In the same vein COVID is not a "deadly" disease.

Your definition has been duly noted.

When was the last time you heard about a friend or a relative coming down with the flu and you considered them to be in a life threatening situation? I can only speak for myself and I have never considered the flu a death sentence.
