Did you notice that 83% of the deaths were people 65 and older. If a senior is in a position to get a normal strain of flu but is exposed to caronavirus first, he might just as well have been normal flu casualty in a normal year. However this caronavirus plays out, I’d like to see how great a lessening of normal flu deaths occurred. I’m not saying its zero sum but there must be some correlation.

I saw some doc, on FoxNews, saying that if you get the flu shot...no, it won’t protect against this/certain strains (duh!), but...it may lessen the severity of something you may catch.

Right.

I wouldn’t be so sure.
