what do you think the flu is? oh wait. It is highly contagious viral respiratory illness that can manifest as pneumonia. Same as corona virus.

“That was a flu. This is more akin to a highly contagious viral pneumonia.”

Do you try and say things to show your ignorance.

H1N1 was a highly contagious viral pneumonia. It wasn’t “akin” to it, it was it.

Um, not all cases of coronavirus turn into pneumonia. As a matter of fact, the majority do not. A flu can turn into a highly contagious viral pneumonia. A coroner could just as well put “cause of death - viral pneumonia on either victim’s death certificate.

In other words, two sides of the same coin.
