Has Covid ever been a deadly disease? It is contagious but not deadly as far as deadly diseases go. In the areas of Africa where malaria is endemic, it kills an estimated 400,000 people a year. Covid didn't even get to 40,000 in those regions and those are the least vaxxed areas on the plant. How deadly could Covid be when the policy for people with symptoms was to stay at home without treatment or medication until the symptoms got too much too bear. Try that with malaria or meningitis and see how well that would turn out. If anything it could be argued that it wasn't that deadly but the policy above made it more deadly than it should have been for those who succumbed to it, not to mention those who have developed long Covid.
