To be perfectly fair (and for the record I'm very much not among the "sacrifice the old and weak" set!): not as much as covid. The elderly and immunocompromised obviously die more to almost every illness. But the effect is really pronounced with covid. And most other viral infections tend to kill children at higher rates too, and covid very notably does not. It's definitely an interesting aspect of the disease, though it's produce a kind of horrifying calculus among a lot of the right wing in the US.
