“The so-called pandemic may end someday” What is “so-called” in a pandemic responsible for the deaths of millions (tens of millions most likely) people in the world?


I would agree, covid fits the medical definition of pandemic. Saying it is a "so called" pandemic is not accurate.

But are you any better than the person you called out with your projection that covid will cause "tens of millions most likely" people to die? I know of no real evidence to support that statement, based on what is known of coronaviruses specifically. There's many who would consider your statement to be misinformation, also. And fear-mongering.


The infection rate is highly arguable, because it relies on extrapolations of PCR test results, which are unreliable for detecting number of infected. PCR detects remains of the virus, not active infections.
