Is coivd a politcal myth

I certainly don't think it's a myth, but I do think that it has been used and abused as a means of political maneuvering. And, I also think that in some cases it has been blown a little out of proportion. I've actually known quite a few people to have COVID, and none of them had severe cases. In fact, they said that it was pretty much just like the flu, and if they hadn't known about COVID and had confirmation that what they were dealing with was COVID, they would have suspected it was just the average flu. Now, that's not to say that COVID isn't a concern, because clearly it is. But, in some cases, I have a hard time believing everything I hear when it comes to COVID. Because the truth is, the medical professionals, the government, and others who are dealing with and researching COVID still don't even fully understand it. So it's hard to be fully vested in what's said, when what's said, in some cases, is merely just the best educated guess that they have.
