Where I live, the death rate of Influenza is a recurring topic every season. After that it's not interesting because we know the disease very well. For all we know, it cannot be stopped by measures less bad than the flu itself. Thus eradication has not been attempted and is not even being discussed because there are easier targets. On the other hand, we know very little about Cov2. Its spread and its projected death rate are interesting to me and many other people. We're also currently trying to contain Cov2 by drastic actions. That too generates a lot of headlines. It seems we're failing because heavier measures are unacceptable. Cue more headlines. It may just become another flu strain we'll understand well and discuss shortly every year when it comes around again.
