Serious question.

Honest answer, who knows. The media makes COVID-19 out to be the world ending disease. People who have had it rank from, “I didn’t know I had it” to reading an obituary about them and everything in between. The sensationalism of it all is what is the most messed up. We hear only about the people dying and how many people are getting sick, but NEVER about how many people are recovering and back to normal life afterwards or how many people didn’t even have “that bad” of cases. If it bleeds it leads is the mantra of the media and people doing well doesn’t sell headlines.
After a few years of studying what the effects are on people and if there’s any long term issues from having COVID I think we will get an idea of whether or not this was something that is more or less worse than a “standard flu”. However, at this point, like the scientists always say, “there’s inconclusive results to support or disprove a hypothesis”.
