Covid 19 at its worse is a bad cold. Nothing more. The lies about covid 19 and all of the lockdowns, Mas mandates, social distancing and “gene therapy” jab shot have done far more damage and caused more deaths than the bad cold cost.

"Covid 19 at its worse is a bad cold. Nothing more."
We are currently at about 715,000 Covid deaths (attributed to Covid, that is) in a period of about 21 months (deaths didn't really start until February 2020).
If we end up with about 800,000 Covid deaths by the end of the year, that would be about 400,000 a year, averaging the two years. Total deaths in the USA before Covid were approaching 2.8 million a year. 400,000/2,800,000 is about 14-15%
Most Covid deaths are among the elderly with one or more co-morbidities, so many of the Covid deaths may have just moved the death from the cancer column or the stroke column to the Covid column, and/or sped it up by a few months. Deaths from Covid alone are probably only 20% of the total Covid deaths, if that. So Covid alone is probably only responsible for 3-5% of our total deaths in the past 21 months. This is a very long way of saying I agree with you - Covid is like a bad flu, not another Black Plague.

The two in my family who’ve had it, one currently, would argue that it’s more than a bad cold. More like severe flu. I saw it first hand with my spouse. Nobody has to be taken to ER for a bad cold. That said, for the lucky some it might act like just a cold, and I hope when my time comes I’m one of them.
