All who were not killed by covid are not happily jumping around.

You see the death stats and calculate a %. Once a medicine is invented the stats of injuries (both physical and financial) would trickle in. Several survivors have lost legs, lung and kidney function.

SARS and swine flu were the wake up calls. This is real deal. And yes, if we don’t learn next will be worse.

Some covid survivors sustained life-altering damage. But most did not.

Exaggerating the impact of covid is only going to throw more fuel on the fire for people inclined towards viewing the whole thing with a great deal of skepticism. All these white lies and misleading statements add up and the result won't be improved public discourse.

Why do you believe the next will be worse? Covid is already a global pandemic and will likely reach a majority of the global population before going away.
