Yeah I'm sure it is endemic at this point, but it's still killing 100 Americans a day. I don't think the flu is near that level, but I could be mistaken. Vaccines are still crucial against both.

Edit: I'm wrong, they are at nearly identical mortality rates.

Flu kills about 36k each year in America, so actually very close to 100 a day.

Covid is just a thing that exists now unfortunately.
