@wsbgnl @wanderer_jasnah @georgimarinov @OJJohnson81 @OmicronData @zeynep @kallmemeg @jbakcoleman @jfeldman_epi @GYamey @statsepi Every comparison to it being "like the flu" ignores that people typically get the flu every 5-10 years (probably less for older more vulnerable people who don't have kids in school). 1-2 bouts of covid every year is 5-20x more burdensome at equivalent severity.

@wsbgnl@Wanderr\u jasnah@georgimarinov@OJJohnson81@OmicronData@zeynep@Kallmeg@jbakcoleman@jfeldman\u epi@GYamey@statsepi每次将其比作“像流感”都忽略了人们通常每隔5-10年感染一次流感（对于没有孩子上学的更易受感染的老年人来说可能更少）。在同等严重程度下，每年1-2次新冠肺炎的负担是5-20倍。
