RE: Having pre-existing conditions and catching a virus or germ of any kind can be deadly. This has always been the case
Yes, I concede this, BUT...
1) Covid-19 is MUCH MORE CONTAGIOUS than most other viruses including the flu
2) Covid-19 is MORE DEADLY than the common flu.
3) It can be argued that the survival rate of those with serious pre-existing conditions who catch the common flu is HIGHER versus Covid-19.
I dont quite see how its been proven that COVID is more contagious.
And if so, who really cares? Flu and colds are highly contagious.
Generally, the more contagious, the less dangerous.
Think Avian flu...very dangerous, but not very contagious. Ebola...you really dont want...not very contagious. Its as if viruses tend to compensate for their survival by being either highly transmissible, or very deadly.

With the financial incentives for hospitals that care for covid-19 the statistics are likely distorted.

As you know that is how politics works science shouldn't work this way. Sadly with the advert of Global warming that is what science has become
