If you are a coward and are scared of a virus with a 3 in 1000 chance of dying then it is up to you to live the coward's life, go hide under your bed. You do not have the right to take my liberties away and make me withdraw from life because of your cowardice.
In Canada to date 1,638,239 people have recovered from the virus and 28,729 have not (https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/epidemiological-summary-covid-19-cases.html#a1)
That's 17 in 1000.
Then there are the 165,000 or so people who are experiencing Long Covid. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-long-covid-is-painful-expensive-and-so-far-impossible-to-cure/ So that bumps the number up to about 115 out of 1000. That's a better than 1 in 10 chance of dying or not recovering completely for a long time, if ever.
Plus the chance of passing it on to someone vulnerable, directly or indirectly, even if you come out of it OK in the end.
You know about 10% of adults and 20-30% of children catch the flu, translating to around 3 million flu cases a year or more

If covid spreads more easily let's multiply that by 2x for 6 million cases
28k/6 million = .46% exclude the dementia patient deaths and its so small you'll get an error on the calculator
GTFO with your bullshit
Your analysis implies that covid in 2 years spreads at a lower rate than influenza
So far it's only you saying there have been 6 million cases of covid. Why should I believe you?
