    According to the World Health Organization, 290,000 to 650,000 people die of flu-related causes every year worldwide. COVID-19 has killed over 5 million people worldwide in just 2 years. So you bet wrong.

      What if we look at it from a slightly different perspective? 16,000 people died from the flu in the United States in 2024, and about 29 million more were infected. For the first time in five years, the mortality rate from seasonal flu surpassed the number of coronavirus victims.

      Be that as it may, I regard COVID like the flu; it takes down the weak, and this is normal from an evolutionary standpoint.

        I’m really not interested in entertaining any social darwinist trash like this. The nazis tried it, it was dumb then, and it’s dumb now. Keep this kind of nonsense to yourself.
