- COVID-19 spreads more quickly - it is more contagious and is contagious for longer than the flu.
- Severe illness is more frequent than the flu.
- Long-term effects are far more prevalent and far more severe with COVID.
- The ability for a coronavirus to mutate into a variant that is far more contagious and/or far more severe is much higher.
- The death rate for the flu is dramatically lower - 1.8 / 100k population than COVID with around a 240-300 deaths per 100k population. More than 1 million people have died from COVID in the US alone vs around 4-6000 per year from the Flu.
- People do in fact care about the flu spiking in winter. That’s why vaccines are promoted as much as they are.
You sound like someone who doesn’t really have a point but needs to argue for the sake of arguing. Maybe you can yell at yourself in a mirror - I’m sure it will be more entertaining.
Edit: And to be clear… I wrote something in my prior comment that most people would interpret as wrong without some qualification or context. I decided to leave it partly out of laziness and partly to see if you would catch it and how. But instead of digging in you are just being confrontational.
