That doesn't make it okay. That doesn't mean we don't need mitigation efforts. It doesn't mean we don't need to track it. We track the flu even though it is also endemic. How is any of that relevant? We already know that repeat exposure to COVID damages the immune system.

We also only track lab proven instances of the flu. If i catch the flu and it’s not bad enough to at least send me to doctors nobody knows I have it.

Exactly, which is what is happening with COVID.

I didn’t say that it is okay or that it shouldn’t be treated. And nor did I say that it isn’t dangerous or health hazardous. 🤷‍♂️

Where is this idea that we don't track it? We just don't see it on TV. I got covid in September and was called and emailed by Fla. Dept. of Health. It is not like everyone with the flu takes a test that goes to the government.

We track what we can, but it is just part of life at this point.
