No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!

Meet the new Trump, same as the old Trump (except he might now have long term damage to his lungs, heart, and/or brain)
According the article below citing CDC data, the worst flu season in the last 10 years in the U.S. was ~61,000 fatalities due to it or from complications. Last year was 22,000.
Covid on the other hand could easily surpass 300,000 deaths by end of winter, if not more.
But yeah, far less lethal.
Side note, Twitter took that tweet down as it is a lie about Covid, though I think it is still viewable by clicking to see what it says.
