Let's set the record straight.... Polio is far less deadly than COVID. However Polio crippled many more people -- which is very visible.
Yes, lets set the record straight. At what age is COVID more deadly? And you can't just look at death when you look at Polio. The prevalence for spending your whole life crippled is a BIG DEAL.
COVID is not mild for at least 18% of cases. It has over a 2% Case Fatality Rate.
Again, for what age?
The U.S. response to the 1918 flu epidemic and the polio epidemic is very similar to the COVID pandemic. There are significant similarities and lessons that should have been learned.
So now we're talking about 1918 flu and not polio?
If COVID was like Ebola, you would have an argument. It isn't, so you don't.
