Yes.
It does.
You just did not have the media having a screeching fit over it and before 18 months ago you actually got treated quickly rather then the doctors going ok we need to see if you have the flavor of the month, the test will take days and we are going to delay any treatment and if it turns out you do not have the flavor of the month we are going to delay treatment some more. And test you repeatedly until you do. Or we can say you do.
That is the difference between what was and what is.
I have never seen anyone healthy die of flu....ever
I’ve seen three healthy folks die of Covid despite all efforts
Two of whom were under 50
The other 60
The media has not had a screeching fit over my friends who died....they simply died....two within two weeks
Phil Valentine who they did screech over....lasted a month....
I corrected that the more virulent flu strains did kill people ...1918
I have posted a lot here..feel free to peruse
I have a lot of history with Covid including on this forum helping people,with treatments that ironically deniers support as well
I humbly suggest you read them if you have time Harmless
I have had Covid...despite me having nine lives currently on number sic it was a barely sick event
My asthmatic oldest son and wife were very sick
