Do you believe that the flu poses a more significant risk than COVID-19, despite being both more contagious and more deadly?


Well, I'm going to die of something, but surely I'm more likely to die of the flu. You can do weird things with statistics.


The flu comes around every year, so one would have to look at the cumulative risk.

I'm well aware of the flu risk, and already had my vaccination for that for this season. Most people I know poo-poo getting that vaccination, despite it taking only 5 minutes and is already paid for by one's insurance.
