@kritiper Common cold, swine flu, sars, ebola, Aids, h1n1, normal flu’s, ect.

I heard from TV a while ago that the government believes that this epidemic is a catalyst for the medical department to fight against pneumonia. So apparently pneumonia has been a deadly problem for some time but no one is paying attention because it isn’t as widespread and flashy as COVID. So by preventing COVID people accidentally prevent pneumonia too.

@RedDeerGuy1 Dude, that’s old news that’s been dealt with. I thought you meant something new…

@kritiper Give it a year. Something new will come out that. I hope that lessons will be learned for next time. Other countries are still dealing with ebola and aids.

I’m sure it must be helping slow down all colds and flu. Even if we get rid of this C19 thing I hope people maintain some of the practices, especially during flu season.
