i dont believe that but for arguments sake lets say its true.

if true then there is no point developing a vaccine or having a lockdown, as both measures long term wont have any impact.

depends what people mean by that statement.
are they talking symptoms? CFR?

a read an article a few days ago by a dr who said the infected rate could be 25 times higher than recorded. if so, it would make the CFR of covid less than the flu.

It’s the total deaths that I was referring to, not what percentage of infections they represent.

We do and should do so more. Diabetes is a killer and it's prevalence has been booming. But Covid 19 is another major killer and we can do things to reduce its toll too.

We do - and both are treatable, and, at least to some extent, preventable. And diabetes is not infectious (almost certainly), and TB, while infectious, is nowhere near as infectious as COVIS-19.
