Yes, those who are the least healthy and the oldest among us are at most risk, but this virus absolutely, unequivocally, kills young people - and it does it in a horrible way. I spent part of the day today looking at the labs and radiological data of a patient who is barely over 30, with NO preconditions, who is dying of Covid. First of all, when you first present, your chest X-ray and lab data can all be absolutely normal. The progression, however, is horrible. Pretty much my whole adult life to this point has been focused professionally on medicine, and I’ve seen a lot of things over the years. This virus is not the end of the world, but it most definitely has the capacity to cause widespread suffering and death.

So, based upon what you’ve been seeing in COVID victims, is there any chance we had millions of infected last November, December, or January? That it would have been wholly missed and mistaken for a normal flu?
