Yes, it's akin to the flu in terms of mortality. But unlike the flu there is a bona-fide safe and effective treatment for it. Many simply refuse to use it. Frustrating.
I'm not sure what your safe and effective treatment for the flu is. A vaccine is not a treatment. And it doesn't necessarily prevent getting the flu either. I get a flu shot every year. Two years ago I was hospitalized with the flu.

I’d rather get Rona than the flu.
There are treatments for this also, not a vaccine but therapeutics I haven’t EVER taken a flu vaccine I had the Hong Kong flu thought I would die but I was young and came through!! After fighting that off I have a super immune system I have never been sick a day in my life no colds, no flu, not a thing ever, and never taken a vaccine! My entire life have owned restaurants and catering companies definitely a high risk area of work dealing with the public CLOSELY day after day!!
