CDC Director dr. Mandy Cohen: The severity of COVID looks more similar to flu

"The severity of COVID looks more similar to flu. But if you still put head to head flu and COVID in terms of what is hospitalizing more folks, what is killing more folks COVID continues to be a more dangerous virus than flu. They're becoming more similar, which is why earlier this year in March we combine our guidance across COVID, flu and RSV highlighting the fact that vaccine is the most effective thing we can all do to protect ourselves and our loved ones."
