If your loved one died, or you developed a long term complication, or you lost your job for taking too many sick days, then you should realize it isn't NBD.  Or, also, if you have a brain in your head to realize that just because something was OK for you your experience isn't universal.

Exactly.  We has a relative die last spring.  My Covid has lasted weeks. It is a big deal.  [/quote]

It can be. Most often it’s not. Just how it is. [/quote]

We can now see the importance of mental health at school as if this is your idea of compassion, no wonder these kids are struggling.  [/quote]

Covid can be serious. Usually it’s not. There you go. [/quote]

It is serious when people are getting it over and over again every few months and it can rapidly be spread in schools.  Keep denying.  I feel for your kids.  [/quote]

DP. “Serious” is relative. Yes, covid is highly contagious, but health outcomes aren’t particularly different from other endemic viruses in non-elderly, vaccinated individuals. Similarly, covid doesn’t significantly change individuals’ overall risk profiles.[/quote]

More people have died in the last three years of Covid than colds or flu.  [/quote]

And? We didn’t have a vaccine for much of that. And even after the vaccine was available, many of the people dying didn’t get it. And those that did and still died were overwhelmingly elderly, with complicating medical conditions that would put them at higher risk of a variety of health conditions.

Covid makes up a small fraction of overall deaths.[/quote]
Covid is a top 5 cause of death.[/quote]

That data is old. Pre-vaccines. It also includes people who died *with covid* not *of covid*. Somebody investigated the pediatric “covid deaths” in California last year. A few were teens who overdosed but tested positive for covid during routine screening, for example. Talk to anyone who works in hospitals and they’ll tell you that covid death data is nuanced.
