Isn't this the natural process of a virus?
Maybe so but right now there's over 18000 people in hospital with covid and its rapidly getting worse and almost at April peak levels.
Scary times

Depends what you mean by that.
???
Before covid, I would get the seasonal flu. Often. I'm allergic to the vaccine. *shrugs* It is what it is.
But since I knew I was ill, I would avoid people and take care not to infect others. It';s common sense. I never needed government to tell me that.
With covid I have no problem "social distancing", but what government has done ( and deliberately, I might add) was to take any potential vectors, transmitters, spreaders, of the virus and concentrate them in the areas they "deemed" essential.
Like big box stores. Groceries.
This act has actually increased the chance to catch covid.
Use some critical thinking and it's actually makes sense.

You think this pandemic is comparable to the common cold? Are you being serious?

" "With" Covid. Not because of covid."
Go tell that to those 18,000 folk.

I think you have zero understanding of the risk. The common cold does hospitalize and kill people, which you are saying it does not. Why does 80,000 dead a year mean zquat, but double the number and you’re terrified. You think the cold doesn’t kill anybody, you’re the one spreading lies and downplaying. Why? Because the cold is a risk you’ve learned to live with and accept. Covid, you refuse for some reason. That’s on you, don’t make it my issue.
The common cold KILLS 10s of thousands a year. So covid has a higher death number (it’s also not accurate and we all know it). You’re upset about how contagious (not deadly, as I already stated and you ignored the new strain that’s more contagious, may be less deadly it’s un stated and also as a novel new strain unknown, meaning being extra afraid is panic inducing and DUMB. But you want to not think and just say I’m comparing the virus to the cold. You’re an idiot who wants us to live in fear and panic. You spending xmas alone this year?

Didn't stop Spanish Flu from killing quite a few million people, did it?
