“flu has a season; this doesn’t.”
Do we even know this doesn’t have a season? It hasn’t been around long enough to know. I think that even the experts have said it could be seasonal like the flu but can’t say for sure yet.
That was my own opinion based on what I’ve read as the pandemic has progressed. I haven’t seen anyone say it definitely doesn’t have a season. I hope and think it may slow some but I don’t think it’s going to behave like the flu.
Here’s the latest study I’ve seen.

No one even knows why flu has a season. Many suggest it’s because people stay indoors more in the winter where flu finds it much easier to spread compared to the outdoors. Which suggests stay-at-home policies are going to cause more deaths in the long run, especially if people are told to do it during the warm months when they’d normally be out.
