Although vaccination is very important, it's not unusual when the vaccine for the flu does not match the prevailing strains. The difference is that there are effective treatment protocols for people who become seriously ill with a seasonal flu. The issue for Prince Charles, and everyone else who gets seriously ill, is that the current treatment options don't seem to be effective for cases of COVID-19 - although most people do recover.If there’s a debate, it’s because those who say it’s only as serious as the regular flu are willfully blind, and in the case of Americans, stupid - these people think there’s a government conspiracy to restrict their freedoms. There is no real debate because reasonable people understand how serious this new strain is- because it IS new, and there’s no vaccine for it.
Plenty of young people are getting sick ...in my home state of NY, 54% of those infected are between 18 and 49.
I’ll be blunt - I’m tired of people (not here) whining that Charles shouldn’t have gotten the test because he’s got mike symptoms and he’s privileged. He’s 71 years old - this is very serious.
If we can figure out an effective treatment (and I think we will), then we can answer the question of whether COVID-19 is more serious than other coronaviruses.
