Over 90% of those deaths are Americans.

    Your downvotes are wild and really indicative on the type of people here. Jesus Christ lemmy likes to exist in a bubble and as soon as you provide critical thought or say something someone doesn’t want here (and yet is still on topic)? Downvoted.

    Anyways, you’re right. It sucks but you’re right.

    Case in point couple of years ago we had a trifreca of influenza, COVID and RSV. Health Canada was reporting on all 3. To your point the people who die to this day of influenza and RSV is insanely high. We don’t hear about them constantly. COVID is now part of that crew. Will never go away. Too transmissible and it adapts too fast.

    If you are older get the RSV shot yearly. Everyone else, get your flu and COVID shot yearly.

      Wait a minute, you say that covid will be with us for ever but didnt a number of covid AND influenza species actually go completely extinct back in the end of 2020 or 2021 because of how well the lockdowns were implemented snd adhered to?

      WHo is to say that such a lockdown cant be reimplemented and surprisingly extincts certain species of respiratory transmissible illnesses …like ALL covid species?

        Lockdowns didn’t work even when there was global news coverage of a pandemic happenening. What makes you think they would work now?
