There is also of course the question of methodology. Covid in it's most dangerous forms only existed for about a year. The flu and all of it's variants have existed for decades. The collective understanding of their relative risk to society are not even close to the same quality. Covid has a much smaller data set, and for that reason is guaranteed to have a much worse signal to noise ratio when it comes to predictive potential and policy making.
The fact that essentially everyone who still wears a mask has a predictable political lean should be a massive red flag that this entire debate is hardly about science or biology anymore, and really never was.

and he keeps putting his foot in his mouth.
SARS-CoV-1 was identified in 2003 and was the same type virus but less contagious. Slightly more fatal thou.
SARS-CoV-2 was identified in 2019 and was a little more contagious.
In fact both had angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2; to enter human cells.
And ... yeah this virus type was first seen in chickens in 1920 in America.
And ... Human Coronavirus OC43 and Human Coronavirus 229E viruses was identified in 1960
And... HCoV-OC43 was mostly associated with the Russian flu pandemic of 1889-1890
... please just stop with your fed propaganda.
