@sda Please note this is neither a peer-reviewed nor scientific source, despite the link. So take it with a grain of salt. this is an editorial piece.

With that said I would certainly agree that while COVID is a serious disease that does require a serious response, there is also over exageration and early predictions over shot some aspects of the disease for sure. But that is how science works, it adjusts as it goes.

But we still know it is many orders of magnitude worse than the flu and has killed a third of a million people and on track to kill millions before its over.
