So in your opinion the 25 residents of the Washington nursing home who died in Feb 2020 was just garden-variety flu?
[I just found out it was only 18 patients, but 11 others died as well. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/23/health/coronavirus-nurses-inside-washington-care-home/index.html]
One does not have to go to the other extreme, there is an in between, no? I said three things: over 200,000 people die every month in the USA, everybody has a corona virus of some type in them, and there is no test to detect Covid19. Did they say those 18 patients died of Covid19? Calling a flu that kills people "garden-Variety flu" is contradictory.
If they had told me that 25
college basketball players on a team had died from
Covid19, that would be something. But to say that 25 elderly people died in a
nursing home of
corona virus, that does not sound like some new deadly flu to shut down the world for, specially when normally about 7000 people are dying every day in the USA.
