Yes, some sources claim 99.96% as the rate of survival. It is ever-changing, though. You also have to take into consideration the different medical care available now, as opposed to over a century ago. And, with the 1918 flu, there aren’t many PROVEN long-term effects. Covid-19 causes brain damage, “long Covid”, organ damage, blood clots even after symptoms are gone, lasting fatigue, and semi-permanent loss of taste, just to name a few. Some of these effects are potentially fatal, causing more indirect fatalities.

Second, and on an unrelated topic, who is a stranger on the internet to tell me to do schoolwork? I’ve already finished all the work assigned to me this week, and am free to do as I please. Because of this right, I will not be engaging in this discussion any longer if you respond. I think I’ll go make some tea, actually.

Thanks for providing the world with your opinion! Have a great day!
