COVID is still more deadly than any modern disease, excepting AIDS and the Spanish Flu, and it's currently killing lots of people. Just because we're having a collective delusion about COVID being harmless now does not make it so. (Nor does refusing to collect data on it.) Reality is still there even if you stop believing in it, etc.

Seasonal flu is still out there. Nobody thinks it doesn't kill people. But can't shut down everything because of it either. Same for corona.

COVID is 10x as deadly as the flu and far more contagious. In 2021, when half a million people in the US died to COVID, they didn't even bother to count flu deaths because they were so low. We accidentally wiped out whole strains of the flu.

This attitude of "we can't hurt business no matter how many people die" is insane.
