As cases continue to rise across the country, people are comparing the virus to the flu. While both COVID-19 and the flu are respiratory illnesses, COVID-19 is not the flu.
“The thing that makes COVID-19 different is that there’s no one that has any immunity to it,” said Lou Kreidler, Wichita Falls-Wichita County Public Health District Health Director. “So, right now, unless you’ve had COVID-19, you don’t have any. There’s not anyone who has immunity to the disease.”
