    Covid WAS as bad as originally thought!

    It was feared as something that would kill people left and right with almost biblical proportions, as the modern day black death or something. You can blame media for overhyping it to sell the news I guess but a lot of people got the idea that it would be a lot more than it actually was.

    Don’t confuse successful mitigation with the disease not being as bad as originally thought.

    It wasn’t as bad as we thought at first and we managed to make it another season flu almost, so of course people are going to regard the thing as no big deal now. And it would be a really hard job to convince them otherwise

        It’s now so diminished and most people had sore throat or little fever, that’s what I mean. Seasonal flu kills a shitload of people but nobody really cares about that either.
