So the clip Brian Williams played from Trump's task force "update"

Did I hear Spanky claim that he's lost 5 or 6 (or "almost 6&quot people, implying from the virus? I gather these friends are like the "hundreds" of friends he lost on 9/11 - non-existent.

And now that he's figured out Covid isn't like the flu he's saying he never knew or even heard of someone dying from the flu. And, while it's true he never knew the man, his paternal grandfather died of the 1918 influenza.
