Significant practical difference is that covid is much deadlier than a regular flu, and it causes long term health problems. Around 4 million people in US are unable to work due to covid related issues right now, and overall life expectancy dropped significantly. Covid isn’t just a respiratory virus either, it can attack many organs and cause long term damage.
Meanwhile, each reinfection makes it more likely that a person develops long term symptoms. This virus is running wild in the population, and as people keep getting reinfected, we’ll see more and more people developing long covid adding to the millions who are already out of commission.
Not only is this a major healthcare crisis, but it also affects the available workforce in countries allowing this virus to spread unchecked.
Including the neural system, which if fails, it makes fall anything the nerves are responsable of. Bad neural connexions in the intestines? You will have the worst digestions and you will suffer like never when shitting even if the flora and intestines are healthy as never.
Applies to anything else too.
I know people that had their driving license retired because they can’t drive anymore due to precisely long covid.
But hey, “not as bad as a flu, only a endemic, the market goes before common health!”

Basically the calculus here is that sufficient number of people can still participate in the workforce, and that’s all capitalists care about.
