    1. COVID-19 spreads more quickly - it is more contagious and is contagious for longer than the flu.
    2. Severe illness is more frequent than the flu.
    3. Long-term effects are far more prevalent and far more severe with COVID.
    4. The ability for a coronavirus to mutate into a variant that is far more contagious and/or far more severe is much higher.
    5. 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.
    6. People do in fact care about the flu spiking in winter. That’s why vaccines are promoted as much as they are.
