    The right: Covid is just like the flu! Stop worrying about it!

    Also the right: The flu kills more people than covid (it doesn’t BTW)!

      How does Omicron compare to the flu, are there any usable numbers yet?

          I don’t doubt that, do you have any numbers though, perhaps even for Omicron? I’d absolutely love for Omicron or a following variant to be as mild or milder than the flu because I am really getting tired of all of this.

            Its pretty obvious that Covid is getting less dangerous. Just have a look at the daily number of deaths in Spain (source). Meanwhile number of infections per day is reaching record highs, meaning each infection is less and less dangerous.

                Covid vaccination started in Spain on 27th December 2021, just in between the second and third wave you can see in the graph. As you can see, the second wave was already much less deadly than the first, and that was without lockdown. And so far only 15% of the population were ever infected with Covid. So its not clear to me that these two factors had a major influence.

        Not really. People say it’s like the flu but AKAIK that’s more gut feeling than real data.

      In 2022 Covid is just like a flu. Does that make me right?

        It makes you right, in the sense that right means correct

        It seems to be “just a flu” if you are vaccinated.

              Yes thats what hospitals are for, to treat people when they get sick. Please give statistics for number of people eith permanent lung damage or similar.

                  The pandemic started two years ago. If there are no statistics about long term effects by now, they cant be that significant. Its more likely that the media makes dramatic stories based on few extreme cases.
