Remember this article from the BBC last year, that was pretty blatant disinformation?

It suggested COVID was just a winter bug.

Meanwhile, when Britain is in summer:

Changing nature of Covid: Is it just a regular winter bug now?

There were more flu deaths than Covid ones last winter - but for some, the fear remains. Why?

What's with this fresh new downplaying? Define "severe"!

"Oregon health officials say the variant that's spreading is very contagious, but not as severe as the original virus that was first detected over four years ago."

🇺🇸 US: Don’t call COVID seasonal, even if a winter spike is the ‘new normal’

“This is driven by variants and immunity, not any seasonal aspects of humidity or temperature like other respiratory viruses that rise in the winter.” - Professor Matthew Frieman

"What Frieman said should become seasonal is a COVID-19 vaccine with broad protections against multiple variants circulating, just as there is for flu. The new variants are what’s making people extra sick, though the shots can often help moderate that, he said"
