sitting here absolutely petrified because my son is going back to in class learning tomorrow: oh im better now its just like the flu
The flu kills somewhere between 20k and 50k people in the US annually, depending in strain severity. We just treat it as background noise because we're pretty safe statistically.

Also yeah, covid19 probably does end up trending towards a relatively very mild, endemic disease that surges every so often. It could take a long rear end time and kill a fuckton of people on the way though!
