Those other illnesses have a range of effects for people too. The flu kills tons of people every year. Strep throat does not effect everyone the same. I got strep throat 2 years ago (34 y.o healthy) and got rheumatic fever and had heart damage and was hospitalized. Just because it’s not publicized doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Exactly this! I got strep throat and had a rare reaction (rheumatic fever) a couple days after and ended up hospitalized with heart damage. (34y.o previously healthy)
