Yes, "many of us" never knew about the risk of Influenza. That doesn't mean it wasn't there. COVID is significantly less dangerous to the younger age groups than Influenza[1]. We've known this for a while now, but you rarely see a table comparing the two, because the dogma that "COVID is not like the Flu!" must not be questioned. At the same time, COVID is also significantly more dangerous than Influenza for the older age groups. The two diseases are very different, but we still need to compare them to get an understanding of the actual dangers. We've always lived with the danger of communicable diseases. It's never going away. If we constantly bombard people with the risks of this particular disease, it will cause a lot of stress and anxiety, which is significantly associated with all-cause mortality.
