I don't know if the COVID-19 disease is real
No, it was not a usual form of a normal Flu.
Covid and the Flu may have same symptoms, but that doesn't mean the same disease. Doctors have conducted tests and diagnosis to determine which one it is. It also spread differently than a normal flu afaik. Also, the effects were much severe than a normal flu season with many people getting very sick and died.
It took only a few days for my uncle to die in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. So the Covid is very real...
Yep, COVID was real, and it's not the normal flu. My mom got contracted, luckily she survived.
But I am not convinced that the pandemic is interconnected with the current US-Iran war. Declaring COVID as a global pandemic was necessary, and all those lockdowns and safety measures were necessary. It was really difficult for the majority living a normal daily life, but that's just part of the sacrifices needed to get things back to normal.
While the US-Iran war is more of a diversionary tactic and an act to disrupt the global economy. If the "war goals" between these nations' leaders are met, then I guess the war will end here.
