Covid is Overrated - It's Just a Bad Flu, isn't it?! (beehaw.org)

I've been seeing so much hype around Covid-19 lately, and I just have to say, it's really not as big a deal as people are making it out to be. I mean, come on, it's just a bad flu at worst! I'm tired of all the fear-mongering and exaggerated headlines in the media.

I've had the flu before, and it was no biggie. Sure, Covid has been around for over a year now, but it's really not that different. The recovery rate is so high, and most people only experience mild symptoms, if any. I don't understand why everyone's acting like it's the end of the world.

The lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine push are just blown out of proportion. I refuse to live my life in fear and be controlled by the government and media propaganda. It's time to stop overreacting and get back to normal.

So, let's chill out, folks. Covid is overrated, and we should all just relax and get on with our lives. Who's with me?

If you've seen some people in the hospitals, you wouldn't be saying that. Some people are HIGHLY affected by COVID and die. Others are on ventilators etc. Some people, like you (and especially those that are vaxxed), get a mild flu.
