> The "its just a flu" people were dead wrong in 2020, but very soon they're going to be entirely right. That doesn't fit neatly into the way that we carve up our society into Team Blue / Team Red though so its difficult for a lot of people to understand. While I do agree (of course) with what you say about how the immune system cope with covid I still do disagree that those people will be right. Covid is still not a flu and unless the next variant loses its ability to wreak havoc on multiple organs it won't ever be like the flu. I was not much into team blue/team red but last time I said to an antivax in my family that I was still wearing a mask in public transport despite being vaccinated and she told me she wished for me to get covid so I would stop be scared of it so much I decided to drop my empathy level a bit.
