He was going through a rough time when he last posted.
Last I saw his brother had recovered hadn't he?
Yes I think so - but they were both still rough I think.

Stop comparing it to the flu. Coronavirus has just started, but deathrate is much higher. Millions will die, most likely.
Omg stop!
Millions!! we're in the low thousands and that's even in the worst hit pandemic areas which weren't prepared for it as they got hit first.
It is not going to be millions, its not the bubonic plague ffs.
I'll quote this once the worldwide death count passes 1 mil as i fully expect it to.
Just in US 61 million people had the swine flu. Thankfully the deathrate was low. Coronavirus deathrate could be anywhere between 1% and 3.5%.
If it's 1% and it spreads as well as swine flu did, that's already 600K+ dead, just in the US.

This was back in March 2020.
Even with all the lockdowns, which nobody expected at this point, we're at 2 million worldwide deaths and 400k in the US.

At this stage the bigger question is whether we even need to lockdown or take much if any precaution - and whether any future lockdowns are required.
Nothing has stopped the spread.
Would deaths have been higher if we had not gone through all the destructive measures of the last 12 months?
Hard to say, but given the initial estimates, it's hard not to think we'd have been better off just letting it spread and building up resistance.
It's spread like wildfire anyway.
Maybe all that was needed is some strategy for 70+ year olds.

If they are getting vaccinated now it means they're in the at risk group.
They probably would have died anyway.
