The natural herd immunity believers/anti-vaxers are now saying Covid could end up like the Flu

Many ''could could could end up'' articles have been written, such as;

HOWEVER, a sharp contrast to what THEY've initially believed, and in reference to vaccination, I don't like their ''why should I'' negative attitude......THEY remind me of someone's negative attitude towards cleaning, ''Why should I clean______when we both know it's going to get dirty again''

NOW, if we were to assume COVID will eventually become like the Flu, there are many questions, such as;

1. Seasonal, or all seasons?
2. Case Hospitalization Rate/will it overwhelm our hospitals?

AND in reference to number 2, here's an eye opener;

Florida Standard Covid VERSUS Delta Variant

Standard Covid; 147,000 Cases INCREASED Current Hospitalizations from 5,942 to 8,079, thus, by 36%

Delta Variant; 119,000 Cases INCREASED Current Hospitalizations from 7,018 to 13,563, thus, by 93%

Thus, compared to Standard Covid, the Delta variant is a hospital overwhelmer;

Florida's Standard Covid Case Hospitalization Rate; 3.6%
Florida's Delta Variant Case Hospitalization Rate; 12.3%
Florida's Delta Variant Case Fatality Rate; 0.75%
