You do realize that's why I asked if I was missing something right? And while I don't "have a medical background" I can read and have read a lot of medical and epidemioloy studies for my job. And I know a decent bit about pulmonology and have spoken to many pulmonologists about lung diseases. So, I would defer to anyone with medical qualifications, but I do have at least some idea what I am talking about in this instance.
And what I said doesn't contradict anything he said. He is right about the flu. I'm just pointing out that COVID-19 has additional issues that the Flu does not. But I'm fully open to someone with a Medical Degree telling me I'm wrong.
