This virus

Between 0.2 and 2% CFR with medical treatment

Up to 27% CFR in areas with poor medical care

R value of 16, meaning each person infected spreads the virus to 16 other people on average

Can cause pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling of the brain), often fatal complications

Survivors can be left with blindness, deafness, or a neurodegenerative disease that can begin 7 to 10 years after infection

Causes immunosuppression for about 2 years after recovery from infection, leaving survivors vulnerable to normally harmless pathogens

This virus is measles. Sounds absolutely terrifying doesn't it? Just some perspective. Viruses can be scary, but they have always been around. And there have been many that have been much more gruesome than the one we are currently dealing with. Be careful, do what you can to avoid covid, but don't be consumed by fear over something that is comparatively mild the vast majority of the time.

Tell this to liberals. Miscers aren’t overreacting in fear like the rest of the country

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."
