You had me going until that statement, because for thousands, it was definitely MORE than just a normal flu bug. Covid-19 destroyed many, many, lives, mine included. So before folks buy off on the "it's just a normal flu" mantra take into consideration people like me whose lives were turned upside down by it.
I had it at the very beginning and it was like the worst flu ever. But it wasn’t some next level thing. The medical response of denying treatment until you are put on a ventilator and given that horrific kidney killing Remdesivir was 100x more lethal than the disease.
For the very weak and elderly, it would be rough, just like a bad flu.
It is simply SARs. The name covid was invented because China was angry about the term SARS2.
Ask yourself this... why did we not find hundreds and thousands dead in their homes? This is the first epidemic that everyone who died had gone to the hospital.
If you stayed at home, you generally made it. If you had a CPAP, you were really good.
