If you're using chrome install this and replace all references of COVID, COVID-19, coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, etc etc with "common cold".
 your life will be changed forever

can we do the same idea: change Republicans to Democrats, Hunter Biden to Russian Collusion, and Biden to Trump.. then take a look at recent news items

So what exactly will you do differently than when you had a heavy cold pre 2020?

Thanks. I'm pretty much feeling regular now.

back then I didn't give it a second thought. Now I'm more careful that I should avoid people. (Which I did, this yt).

Is it the same deadly as a cold for the old? Idk.

Judging by the amount of solo-in-car-mask-wearing people I'm seeing now it looks like the war in Ukraine will be over very soon.

By now everyone's been exposed, maybe even had it.  It's not as deadly as it was initially.

As we thought it was

How deadly did we think it was? And when?

The commenter you’re replying two is comparing two strains of COVID to eachother, something quantifiable. You’re comparing COVID to “what we thought” which isn’t really quantifiable at all.
