Looking at the CDC numbers[1] for the week of May 10, 2025, I see 201 deaths attributed to Covid and 2465 attributed to a group consisting of Covid, pneumonia and influenza (in other words 2264 deaths attributed to pneumonia or influenza). Yes, people die of Covid every week. People will continue to die from Covid forever. Because Covid is now endemic. It will always be a part of our lives now, just like influenza has been for probably a few thousand years. Just because Covid came up during your lifetime doesn't mean it's in any way special. It's just another virus we will have to deal with now. And unlike some other viruses we actually have vaccines against Covid. Take tuberculosis for example. That fucking thing has probably killed more humans than anything else. We're talking >1 million deaths every year and that's a historic low. Just get a fucking grip on reality.
