As far as I’m concerned, it’s just another “random flu bug”. Most people are vaccinated, so they won’t be getting severe symptoms. Immunocompromised people are in big trouble, but that was also true before 2019. Basically any disease is dangerous to them; has always been.
From those immunocompromised people I’ve talked to since the pandemic, they were hoping for a cultural shift around this thanks to the increased awareness.
For a short while, so many people were afraid of a virus and perhaps understood a little better what it was like for them every day.
Yeah, you’re right. I was kinda hoping that people would wear masks more openly when they suspect they might have the flu and try to prevent it from spreading to everyone around them. That sort of cultural shift didn’t last very long once the restrictions were lifted.

That has not happened from what I can see.

flu is short for influenza. covid is not influenza.
Technically correct.
