Look, I don't want to shit on your fun times here, but the commie cough really isn't as dangerous as you think. First, since the whole shitshow began the reporting guidelines (at least in the US) have been to list COVID-19 as the cause of death in any case where the person wasn't tested, but the symptoms matched OR the person had been in contact with someone who was confirmed or suspected to have it. That's great for hospitals because they get paid extra by the insurance companies for Coronavirus cases, great for the media because nothing keeps people glued to their news like a good dose of fear, but bad for accuracy, because the tally of total confirmed cases only includes cases that were actually tested for the virus, not suspected cases or possible exposure to infected.

Obviously, if you already have medical conditions involving your heart or lungs, then the kung flu is still pretty dangerous for you. But the actual mortality rate is far lower than it seems due to inconsistent reporting on it.

Well I'm glad that people running dangerous firetrap unlicensed nightclubs know more about health than experts and professionals.
