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.

Something can be more deadly but kill fewer people on account of it being rarer.
