Just the opposite is true. from the interview;

This virus is quite different from what we see with the standard annual flu, and what we saw in 1957 and 1968, because of the cytokine storm it causes. In 1918, the vast majority of the people who died were healthy young people, 20 to 40 years of age. And that was in large part because they had the strongest immune systems.

According to the article this virus is acting exactly as the H1N1 virus that created the 1918 pandemic acted.

Being one of the sick, I'm less concerned with the flu itself (if I die, I die) than the aftereffects mentioned including supply chain problems.
