@mrjamesob at c28 minutes in suggests that Covid is “much much milder than flu’”
Perhaps he would explain how 10k people died of Covid between 17-12-21 - 4-2-22 (Death Cert data) despite SOME measures still in place to reduce infection?
Then there’s the long term consequences

Bear in mind @mrjamesob that Omicron is several times more contagious than flu - especially when the brakes are removed.
You have to look at the IFR in the context of R0.
Catching Flu risk? C once every 7 years.
Covid risk no mitigations twice a year (from Iran data)

Perhaps @chrischirp @SGriffin_Lab @ArisKatzourakis might like to chip in here given I am sure @mrjamesob would like more highly qualified people than me setting him straight here.
The other problem is there’s still a lot we don’t know, but we do know there’s a markedly elevated risk of early death 12m post infection especially (but my no means exclusively) in the over 60yr olds.
These are not classified as covid deaths even though it seems highly probable that Covid created the conditions that accelerated death
