    methinks you mean "seem milder as all the people who were
    more likely to Die Quickly have, in fact died".

    (note: many of the people who now get infected will,
    in fact, still die. But not in a few days, but over
    a couple of years. Quietly)

    How about fuckheads exhibiting flu-like symtoms who go into work and

    Generally, flu and common cold superspreaders are actually exhibiting
    symptoms, which is different than COVID.

    New guidelines from the CDC Friday bring COVID precautions in line with
    those of other respiratory viruses

    You should now follow the same precautions with Covid as you take with the flu, according to new guidelines from the CDC.

    That new normal is that COVID isn’t going away and people are still catching it, but the threat it poses and harm is causes continues to
    decline thanks to virtually everyone having some form of immunity owing
    to prior infection or the administration of widely available vaccines,
    in addition to the availability of effective life-saving antiviral
    treatments like Paxlovid.

    Reading comprehension skills: 0 / 10 - must try harder.

    Nowhere there does it actually say "Covid is flu" (nor does it say it
    is not flu either).

    It simply says "follow the same precautions with Covid as you take with
    the flu", i.e. all the previous Covid-specific restrictions and rules
    no longer need to be followed.

    Treating it like the flu and like the flu are worlds apart.

    They're nothing like the flu, although the newer mutations seem milder
    as we get closer to herd immunity.


    Isn't it weird that the MAGAs with the herd mentality opposed the steps
    taken to get to herd immunity?

    Still as stupid as ever, I see.

    That new normal is that COVID isn’t going away and people are still
    catching it, but the threat it poses and harm is causes continues to
    decline thanks to virtually everyone having some form of immunity
    owing to prior infection or the administration of widely available
    vaccines, in addition to the availability of effective life-saving
    antiviral treatments like Paxlovid.

    It's 4 years in, and we're not dying to the tune of 3,000 a day.  We
    have multiple vaccines.  We have treatments.  We have so many people
    that got it that we have some semblance of immunity.

    NONE of which we had whey you morons were making this case back in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023.


    Give the right wing assholes credit, for them "Freedom isn't free" is
    all encompassing, whether it's death by being shot in the head or death
    from Covid.
