with an unknown respiratory infection this winter---many more than usual and the ones affected have not had unusually weak lungs. They all survived. I hope that someone will do retrospective testing for Coronavirus as well as Influenza A (there is an H1N1 strain and those are the worst kind). Remember that rapid flu screen have poor sensitivity meaning that they miss lots of flu. It has to be an actual viral test.
