THREAD: COVID-19 is nothing like the flu.

The current death count factors in the decision from a high IQ President who mandated restrictions extremely early, as well as treatment options now widely known and somewhat available.

That prevention saved thousands of lives.
COVID-19 attacks ACE-2 receptors found in the heart, lungs, brain, kidneys, and testes. It can cause significant myocarditis and in some cases severe neuronal damage.

Researchers also indicate it will cause male infertility as it attacks the ACE2 receptors in the testes.
COVID-19 also dislodges iron ions in the red blood cells, resulting in the ions roaming freely in the body, causing significant oxidative damage to the lungs & tissues. This also renders the red blood cells useless & unable to carry oxygen, resulting in life-threatening hypoxia.
Those making the comparison to the flu based on death numbers should read further into the pathology of the virus to get a better understanding of its wide spreading implications.

Death count is lower than projected because of the restrictions, not because the virus isn’t deadly https://twitter.com/michaelcoudrey/status/1236736335794167808
