There aren’t two types of cases but rather a virtually endless array of case presentations. Most viral respiratory illnesses have a wide range of disease severity. The primary issue with COVID is not that there aren’t a bunch of mild cases (there are) but that more patients are progressing to severe disease compared to other viral respiratory infections.

For example, some people do progress to severe viral pneumonia and ARDS with the common cold (rhinovirus, HMV, Cocksakivirus, etc.). It’s not common but it does happen, generally in the severely immunocompromised and those with transplanted or very diseased lungs. A greater number of people progress to this stage with influenza, and a greater number than that from COVID, etc. At the top of the chain you have stuff like MERS with a 50-70% progression to ARDS and a 35% mortality. All of these disease also cause very mild cases as well however and everything in between.

On March 27, 2020, at a White House briefing on the coronavirus pandemic, Karl asked President Donald Trump if he would guarantee that every American who needed a ventilator would get one. Trump retorted to Karl with the admonition, “Look, don’t be a cutie pie. OK?” The exchange went viral on social media with a surge of memes highlighting the incident.[11]

I noticed Weiju Jiang hasn’t been around in a while complaining about how oppressed she is as an Asian.

If he only wore a mask on camera like I Have seen some of them do it is possible.

It’s his own fault if that is the way he wears his mask..but he probably got it somewhere else...

It appears that his virtue-signalling/face diaper-wearing habit didn’t save his sorry arse ... but I do pray he remains healthy!

Is the NY Post 100% positive he contracted it at White House briefing? Maybe this reporter picked it up having casual sex with a stranger. Does the NY Post know if this reporter had casual sex with a stranger?
