17. There Probably Won't Be As High Of A Death Toll From Covid As There Was From The Virus In 1918.....

just because of the advances in hospital/medical care, medical technology and communications since 1918.

I can't imagine how crude things were back in 1918 - and with no internet, TV or cell phones like we have now - think about how hard it was to get the message out to the masses.

So the virus itself could be as bad or worse than that of the 1918 virus and that's probably what Fauci was pointing out - but because of our sophisticated health care of today - the death toll won't be nearly as bad - Thank God.
