My point is that they always had been diagnosed as the flu, because we never tested for Corona before retard!

During the House Oversight Committee discussion on the novel coronavirus response, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said some deaths from coronavirus have been discovered posthumously.
Rep. Harley Rouda asked CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield if it’s possible that some flu patients may have been misdiagnosed and actually had coronavirus.
"The standard practice is the first thing you do is test for influenza, so if they had influenza they would be positive," Redfield said.
Rouda then asked Redfield if they are doing posthumous testing.
Redfield said there has been "a surveillance system of deaths from pneumonia, that the CDC has; it’s not in every city, every state, every hospital.”
Rouda followed up and asked, “So we could have some people in the United States dying for what appears to be influenza when in fact it could be the coronavirus?”
The doctor replied that “some cases have actually been diagnosed that way in the United States today.”

Probably the universal healthcare causing a shortage of doctors, plus their cultures being very touchy - kissing on the cheek, hugging strangers.

>The common cold is a virally related syndrome and has been associated with over 100 different viruses, including Human Coronavirus and Rhinovirus. Common symptoms include throat discomfort , followed by sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, coughing and decreased energy level. Fever is uncommon with colds, except in young children.
This is literally the dumbest take you could arrive at.

Why?
Stanford is agreeing with me:

I could show you 100 more results but google it for yourself if you wanna know the truth. It is actually no secret, even the mainstream reported on it lately.

This is from 23 to 29 March. Only Italy and Spain were truly fucked back then. Since then many other countries started reporting 100+ deaths per day. I expect France to have very high excess deaths for this week.
And the important thing is, we are past the flu season, so less people should be dying, not more.
