Virulence is a vague term subject to many definitions. I can tell you that the yearly flu is more 'virulent' than COVID. Also, the yearly flu is easily transmitted from children to adults whereas COVID is not so virulent there. Yes, COVID is real but it's no where near the threat the the left wing politicians and news pundits try to tell us. The reaction to COVID was and is purely political, aimed at delegitimizing the 2016 election. They tried the Russia hoax, then the impeachment hoax and then COVID. Now we see them trying to hijack an election. I fear too many folks are falling for this bullshit. I might add, if you don't believe COVID is being used as a political football, just listen to Cuomo who has said he will not allow Trump's the vaccine into NY.The difference is the virulence of the virus. How rapidly it spreads. That is why one caused less than 1,000 deaths worldwide, and the other has killed hundreds of thousands. So you take different precautions with different viruses.
Cuomo actually said he wants a more extensive testing than is being done before allowing the vaccine in NY.
I am sure there are political elements to the entire pandemic. But it is on both sides. One saying lock everything down and one saying it is no worse than the flu. I say no lockdown, but take precautions. Covid-19 is far worse than the flu.
