Comment on Coronavirus: an email to my familyparent

The death rate seems so low, that I could imagine many of the elderly people dieing from it, would also have been killed from many other viruses that would have possibly come along shortly after.

It's both. When a virus like this taxes your immune system, the risk of secondary infections becomes far greater.
