I’m sorry, but this virus is *not* the common cold. Pretending that it doesn’t really exist makes you, and this site, sound like crackpots.
Even President Trump was hospitalized for COVID-19. If it was the common cold, that would not have been done, obviously.
It’s less than the common cold for a majority of people. By the way- what happened to the yearly flu reporting?
No one is saying that. That makes you sound like a crackpot
Corona viruses have been around forever. If you are OLD or are OBESE your odds aren’t good if you catch it. Even then there’s less than a six percent death rate. For everyone else that gets it the recovery rate is very good....98% or better
Quit engaging in panic porn
Just because you want something to be true doesn’t make it true. But you are correct that it is not the common cold. The common cold is real.

You might read down deep into the article where the fearporn of this story falls apart...
“Due to the shortage of beds, the county EMS said patients whose hearts have stopped, despite efforts of resuscitation, should no longer be transported to hospitals.”
But with the high survival rate, and the fact that most of the deaths seem to be among folks who might actually be done in by the common cold, it’s really hard to tell.
I wonder how many actual new cases there are in places with “spikes” (whether in a wide-open State or a tightly locked State). Unless they check a database to insure folks are not double counted, I can picture someone testing positive and feeling fine deciding to go to another testing facility to do it again - and perhaps being counted as a new case - and maybe folks who had it then going to test to see if they have antibodies and having the presence of antibodies being counted as a reportable case.
The method of testing and reporting of cases is as clear and open as the election process in the coup States.
