I think the easiest way to understand Covid, if you want to compare it to the Flu, is by time and numbers.

2018/2019 Flu killed 34k over the entire flu season. In three months Covid 19 killed 100k.

It spreads faster and is more deadly by 2.5 to 6 times that of flu.

If that only sounds "slightly worse" than the flu to you, so be it.

Yeah, I stopped reading after the OP compared to the flu. More for the 'calGuns can't math' files. This is why it's spiking. Idiots that won't wear PPE.

And all this with a shutdown and SIP orders and masks and extra disinfecting and no gatherings and and and.

The COVID spread of 2.5 to 6 times more deadly than the flu suggests the pundits and so called experts don't have a fridge kicking clue of what's going on.

We are relying on antibody tests for one, and there appears to be geographic variation which helps create the swing.
