    @@pc24681 Glad you’re still keeping away from it. It probably compares more to the flu now than it did in 2020. The original strain was WAAAY more aggressive than the flu. But viral load made cases vary gravely, I ended up in the ER with pneumonia, others just had bad Flu like symptoms. People like to say “its just like the flu” but that’s not a good thing either, the Flu kills as well. Not to push fear or anything but, comparing it to the flu isn’t very useful.
