Neither does the common cold.
Never EVER expect good logic from a media hack.
Why do you think they’re in the media?
RE: Neither does the common cold.
Complications from a cold can cause serious illnesses and, yes, even death – particularly in people who have a weak immune system.
For example, studies have shown that patients who have undergone a bone marrow transplant can have a higher likelihood of developing a serious respiratory infection.
A virus-induced bacterial infection is one way a cold or flu virus can lead to death. While the exact mechanisms of how bacterial infections can be primed by viral infection are still being investigated, a possible way it can occur is through increased bacterial attachment to cells of the lung.
We all know this, but before Covid, nobody panicked because someone unfortunately died from the cold.
