It plays out very very differently in different people. Lean healthy people have a 1 day headache, fatso's end up on a ventilator.

No thx jeff
Can you link those studies? Also what percentage of ppl get lung damage?

In reality she was probably overweight with pre-existing conditions that she may or may not have been aware of.
Of course she was — problem is, over half the country is as well. Most people are fat and sickly.

"The overall cumulative COVID-19 associated hospitalization rate is 107.2 per 100,000, with the highest rates in people 65 years of age and older (316.9 per 100,000) followed by people 50-64 years (161.7 per 100,000). "


even oldcels only have a 0.3% chance of being hospitalized. Oh and the children everyone is panicking about for the fall school season?


"For children (0-17 years), cumulative COVID-19 hospitalization rates are much lower than cumulative influenza hospitalization rates at comparable time points* during recent influenza seasons."

more likely to be hospitalized with the flu than with covid.

Ah yes, sounds like she got a case of “old people get old and die”. Truly a new emerging threat. Great insight.

Lol. Get it than speak OP. The virus was the most brutal ''cold'' i had - could barely move for 3 straight days and i'm in the ''mild'' symptoms graph.

Media overhype it, society underrates it - the virus hits hard, but would likely not kill you.

Technically it is worse than AIDS now. With modern treatment you can live a normal life with AIDS, even have sex with no protection as drugs have made it near to impossible to pass on.

So just like the flu.. an illness that we don’t “mask up” or shutdown the economy over.

I also know someone that has personally had it. She had the symptoms of a common cold, and fine in a few days. You know like the common cold.

The flu can cause pulmonary fibrosis as well, but not in most cases. The media loves pushing the risk of permanent lung damage because they live for fear mongering, but we do not have nearly enough data yet to conclude that this is any more common of an outcome of covid than from the flu. We need to respect COVID as it is novel virus and it definitely seems to be pretty contagious, but on the same note, I wish the media would stop latching on to every preliminary study and statistics and spinning them with as much doom and gloom as possible.

You don't want to get it. It's BRUTAL on the body and effects can last for MONTHS.

LIke some idiots who thought it was a hoax - "I think i made a mistake" - on theri deathbed after going to parties.

If you're super scared - go buy a anti bacterial mask with BIOSAFE technology and call it a day. You'll never get it ever.
Weight Loss: Go carnivore or keto/low carb. Create calorie deficit. Buy packaged healthy meals if needed. Meat is good and heals, stop being lied to.

Going to your grandparents house and killing them.

If you have no older relatives or people that you care about there's nothing to worry about I agree.

Why don’t you just not go to your grandparents home or why don’t your grandparents tell you not to come over?

I’m not saying you’re wrong because I don’t know but if this is true why are they working so hard on a vaccine?

My grandparents would rather risk the tiny chance of dying from this than waste their lives inside and away from the people and things they like. They have like a 5-10% chance of dying every year statistically so they won't fret over the few percent chance they die if they actually get this.

There is aVERYimportant election that needs to beriggedinfluenced. Dems desperately need to win back the senate so they can impeach Orange Hitler Manson Man. Why else would Pelosi try so hard to make it legal to not provide any ID or proof of self in order to attain a mail in voting form (Illegal votes matter too!) and push mail in votes SO HARD?

the "common cold" doesn't bind to ACE receptors disrupting blood pressure, cause pulmonary fibrosis permanently scarring your lungs or inhibit proper utilization of oxygen requiring a ventilator.
