We don’t take extreme measures to reduce its spread and less than half of us even bother to get the vaccine to help avoid it or reduce its severity. Even the media chooses to ignore alerting the public about flu outbreaks, guess it doesn’t draw enough viewers.

I wonder how full the hospitals were with flu patients before Covid hit? Haven’t heard anyone even mention anything about it.
I think you are trying to say that this is no more deadly than last years flu. That is incorrect.
