A big difference with the flu vs COVID is there's a flu "season," which is late fall through early spring, but COVID is year-round.
And COVID is currently >10x more deadly than the seasonal flu, but I would expect that percentage to go down as we get into yearly vaccines (or even every 6 months).
People also typically develop symptoms for COVID later into the cycle compared to the seasonal flu, so they are more likely unknowingly to spread it.
