How many people have they killed this year? Serious question - I'm curious.
It is a good question. Deaths this year have been attributed to the coronavirus, but there is much more to the story.
How many articles have you read saying doctors are confused by the wide range of symptoms in patients?
You don’t have “one virus or illness at a time.” If you get coronavirus and you also carry other illnesses (gastrointestinal, influenza A or B, the common cold, etc etc) these viruses for which you might have been asymptomatic also flourish in your body as you become immunosuppressed and stressed.
In addition to co-morbidities such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, lung conditions, etc, we have not documented or collected data on how many patients may have also exhibited symptoms and negative effects for other illnesses they likely carried.
In other words, the cause of death might be more accurate if it said - Wuhan flu, influenza B, and obesity as an example.
This would account for the variety of symptoms we have heard about.
SARS v 1.0 hasn’t been seen since IIRC 2004. Zero cases and zero deaths since then. H1N1 is probably still out there somewhere.
