Absolutely. I heard it non-stop from my dad and my in laws. Listening to them act like it’s nothing even after it gave me partial vision loss drove me crazy.
Not only does my dad think it’s ’like the flu’, he keeps saying it IS ‘just the flu’. He thinks it’s the same virus and people are conspiring to control us by giving the flu a new name and then freaking out over it.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. I saw so many deaths and suffering due to this disease through records in the VA health system and it constantly enraged me. I can only imagine what it would do to someone impacted by it directly.
Even the flu is extremely dangerous from some people.
The pandemic certainly was an eye opener for me on how warped and selfish a lot of people are, perhaps the human race as a whole to some degree.
And the logic people apply to support odd ideas. The lengths people go to just so they won't admit they were wrong.
