Thanks for the laymen’s terms Lt. And just like the Babylon Bee, satire is getting difficult to determine when there are many folks still calling Covid-19 “just the flu”.
And I guess for 80% of the people that get it, it sort of is. So it is very easy for folks to say “Yeah, I think that is what I had in December and I got over it, so it’s not a big deal.” (I think they had the normal flu though).
BUT - even with “just 20%” of people having severe symptoms - with how widespread and viral Covid-19 is, that can/will be a HUGE number of people. As this doctor is pointing out.
I printed his comments out in case family or I end up in the hospital. I am assuming it is real, and if not, the doctor can look at it and maybe it will be helpful.
My son uses an inhaler when his asthma flares up. I’m going to ask him what is in it.
Likely albuterol.
