Unless we're going to say ALL tests are a lie, I have a grandma that's was in a coma for 3 months due to the INITIAL causes of COVID. Would the Flu have had the same impact? Yes, most likely, but here we are. Whether we're being lied to by ALL of nurses, technicians, doctors, etc. IDK, but nonetheless she was in a coma for 3 months and is STILL on a ventilator though spirits are high and she can understand what we're saying (so no cognitive decay from the coma).
