Other than dying from it, I can't imagine this virus being much worse to survive than what we just went through.
That's the whole point, though, isn't it?
That's the whole point of any flu, isn't it?
As far as I know, the "regular flus" kill thousands in the U.S. every year and you hear little hoopla about it in the news every year that it happens. Deaths from known flu types is a REALLY SAD AND PATHETIC THING because many of those that die most likely never got a flu shot that maybe covered the flu strain that they died from - even though they could have got the shot earlier to prevent it.
We have no flu shot choice right now with this new virus - so I'm wondering if this might be the reason more will die than who would "normally".
