Favorite Answer

While "There are other serious illnesses apart from Covid" and "There are other serious illnesses beyond Covid" have the same meaning, they would be better as: "There are other serious illnesses besides Covid ".

Answer 2

other than COVID.

Indeed, there are, yet nothing else is killing 2000-2500 individuals per day in the only us. In case you're composing something to guarantee that COVID isn't not kidding, don't. Your perusers won't take it well.

Answer 3

They both have the same meaning, although it would be more common to say the first variation.

Answer 4

Essentially, yes

Answer 5

Yes. Both mean Covid is not the only serious illness.

Answer 6

besides COVID.

Yes, there are, but nothing else is killing 3000-4000 people a day in the US alone. If you're writing something to claim that COVID is not serious, don't. Your readers aren't going to take it well.
