The Flu was just as bad when COVID was rampant, it just didn't get recorded like the COVID Deaths. 50k plus people die every year from COVID.

Possibly because adults need doctor's notes for work or doctor's notes for their children's school no matter how mild the illness actually is.

Funny how the FLU is back and COVID is barely mentioned.
