@Bigmurph I would agree completely with that. I personally know of no one that was healthy, caught the bug, and then died from it. I have heard it has killed completely healthy people but I personally have no evidence of this. It seems to start by exacerbating any underlying condition and then goes on to the more lethal effects.
The 2017-2018 flu season was worse than this, 2009-2010 season was positively the worst I’ve ever seen, at least in my area, and it everyone I know had it. I feel very confident the new numbers in California and New York antibody testing will be the case nationwide, meaning almost everyone had it, but it was only fatal to those with underlying conditions- which sadly most Americans have.
