The original strain, yes. The current COVID is extremely weak and most humans have adapted to it. It’s become a minor cold to the vast majority of the human population.

Did you post the wrong link?

You can’t just say some bullshit then post a link and think it backs up what you’ve said. That paper explores the genetic predisposition to COVID susceptibility and not:

The current COVID is extremely weak and most humans have adapted to it.

Is there like one sentence in that paper you’ve latched onto that you think justifies your bad take?

I don’t think you read enough of the report. It goes into showing those genetic markers of that patents of covid. That means that those groups are who should be far more careful than groups without those genetics.

And you originally posted:

You’re jumping to your own incorrect conclusions as that is NOT what the posted article says.

Did you read the article you posted? I read the overview and intro and really didn’t seem to support your statement.

They say the same thing for every variant, but of the 300 deaths a day 90% are 65 and older. It’s on par with the flu now.
