Haven't seen a post in a looooong time that was a general popular support of dialing things down, and going back to normal. I think it's starting to kick in for most people that this is basically a very bad flu (3x excess deaths compared to normal bad flu years), but it's not the black plague.

Real numbers say yearly influenza is twice as deadly as covid 19.

Especially when you consider that tests have high false positive potential, higher pcr makes it moreso, but then even if you die and test "positive" by their shitty standard it gets listed as covid. For all we know, we did have a bad flu year and also some covid cold going around to claim some numbers.
