Yup. But not for long. There are some with influenza immunity and others who have been vaccinated for influenza. There's no immunity or vaccine for covid 19.

Actually, if the CV gets loose, many more people will get it. Flu has a well documented R0 of 1.3, CV estimated to be around 6.

However, it’s not the flu.
