    And the Covid variants these days are very much on a similar level to the flu.

    They’re not. Many of the variants that exist now last for weeks. I don’t know of any flu symptoms that don’t go way basically on their own within a week or so.

      Then you never had proper influenza. That shit took me out harder than Covid. It’s a matter of luck and in the beginning Covid was more serious than most influenza strains. But they became more harmless. Which doesn’t mean that you can’t run out of luck and have a severe case of Covid. But over the entire population Covid is on a similar level as influenza.
