Dead is dead, but the reaction to this pandemic seems to be over the top.
If you still believe this, despite all the information about the severity of the effects of this virus as compared to the seasonal flu, please read post #42 in this thread. Even though CarrieOn is referring to survivors of COVID-19, it should give you a little insight into the differences. There is also much, much more data about the permanent physical damage done, average time spent in ICU and/or on a ventilator, cost of care, etc. Maybe you could have self-educated a little more prior to your post.
