The flu/influenza can also be serious. It is responsible for ten of thousands of deaths every year. Influenza and Covid-19 are similar in this way. Both can cause tens of thousands to die. However, a large percentage do not die and recover from it. I think what is lost during this entire pandemic is many may carry it but never get sick or exhibit symptoms. A large percentage who do get sick from it or exhibit symptoms will be mild enough to treat and recover at home and not require hospitalization, just like influenza. The sensational media do not talk about the positive only the deaths.
