I just noticed Netflix has released as part of their "explained" series a new "limited series" CORONAVIRUS EXPLAINED. I scanned through the first episode and it appears to be a redoubling of the official narrative. Two more episodes to come later - one in the summer. I loved the part where they said, "To develop natural herd immunity, millions would die, so it's crucial we develop a vaccine."
Hey, if you want a vaccine, please be my guest, but "Millions would die," seems over the top. This feels like a rushed "Bill Gates Presents" to me.

All of you who go along with this herd immunity thing are misguided. That is not the way to go with this virus. It would kill millions. This is not your average cold or flu virus. We need to continue to quarantine.
Meanwhile we get a chance to show that life is more important than money

If someone with a severe co-morbidity ie COPD (congestive obstructive pulmonary disease) gets pneumonia and dies, their death certificate will not read cause of death as COPD. It will read pneumonia.
So if someone who wasn't about to die gets infected with COVID19 and dies, cause of death is COVID19 infection. There is no over-inflating.
