Idk man. My best guess --- i think its hard to know how many actual cases of the flu or covid bc a lot of people who get it dont go to the hospital. If you ride it out on over the counter or go see your PCP for amoxicillin ... i dont think thats tracked.

Covid does have its own ICD code now, which should help with tracking .. but again, only for cases where people need to go to the hospital. They are projecting and estimating the number of cases.

Vaccine = thats when can treat covid like the flu.

But I think it just a matter of a year or a few years until another new virus is spawned and potentially deadlier ... that one is going to suck. Imagine an infection rate like covid with a 10% death rate for younger people .. fuck.
