Re: “Seasonal flu is 0.06% - 0.08%”

Not sure what that rate is, but it is impossible to compare influenza and COVID fatality rates.

The CDC does not count them the same way...

COVID + Pneumonia or ARDS death = 100% COVID deaths

Flu + Pneumonia or ARDS death = 10%-20% Flu deaths

About 55% of all COVID deaths involve pneumonia or ARDS, so this is not a trivial number.

I am still going with the theory that the viral load that you catch makes a difference on how sick you get....thus I am doing whatever possible to kill off whatever I get

I have to go to the hospital today for a test. I will be taking my pvp iodine swab and mouthwash that kills COvid with me and use it as soon as I get to my car. Maybe it works...maybe it doesn’t...but I am doing it
