This is correct. For anyone under 45 it was basically the equivalent or less than the flu. Lethality only spiked at age 65 and/or if you had comorbidities. Overall it was worse than the flu primarily because it was a new strain, and new is always worse, but just 3-4 months in most of the damage had been done. There was no excuse for it to last 2 years or result in all the absolutely insane policies that it did. Sweden was the only country that handled it correctly AFAIK.
