Exactly this. Wife had symptoms, very mild ones, popped positive. I popped positive with absolutely NO symptoms. Required to get tested as I'm a first responder.
I've known only 3 or so people to "die of COVID." All three of them? Already a foot in the grave, and probably would have died the exact same way even had they not had COVID.
I'm sick of this bullshit. Meanwhile, suicide rates? Drug use rates? Poverty rates? Also on the rise.
Shouldn’t even be with Covid, but with coronavirus. Everyone admitted to a hospital gets multiple coronavirus tests, and if they come back positive, the death certificate will list Covid if they die, but we don’t seem to be tracking if they actually exhibited any Severe Acute Respiratory Symptoms.
EDIT: several other neighbors went to the hospital. one. way. trip.
I'm wondering if it's because their first idea on the course of treatment for people with lower O2 sat is to stick them on a ventilator.
Seems to me that ventilatry support is a death sentence. In the UK, they were experimenting with putting people on nasal CPAP machines, and many of them fared better. Was it because they were less sick or because of the ventilators? I don't know, but I can certainly guess.
That's why they had to give the name COVID-19 to this Coronavirus strain.
Each year, Coronaviruses are responsible for 37-45% of all colds (it may be even higher, because they only ever tested people who needed a Doctor/hospital). Politically speaking, ain't nobody gonna get their panties in a wad for the Common Cold.
COVID does have a sligtly higher incidence of lower lung involvement than other Coronavirus strains (which tend to sit in the upper lungs). That is the main difference (from a body perspective) between 19 and the other strains.
BUT, you could never create a 'Deadly Pandemic' scare by only using the proper term 'Coronavirus' because too many people know it's the technical name for the Common Cold.
Why nobody asks about the other 18 Coronavirus strains is beyond me.
People losing their small businesses. Actually had a (former) friend say, "so what man, that's the way America is." Disgusting thought IMO. This country is built on the small business owner. And they're dying out.
I like the term “former friend.” That’s exactly the way one of my friendships is trending.
We were talking about the destruction of the economy and businesses and he said “If you can’t learn to adapt to a changing situation, you deserve to fail. Isn’t that what Capitalism is all about?”
He said this being a self described “socialist.” He thought he got me.
Then I said, “The Government forcing people into their homes isn’t a ‘changing’ situation. It’s wholesale destruction. Expecting restaurants to ‘adapt or die’ is childish. They’re built on people entering a building to eat food. You’ve now closed the buildings. Should they create drive-by restaurants, where they shoot the entrees at your face and hope for the best? The economy didn’t change organically. The government screwed with it. The blame is on them, not the business owners.”
I then told him “It’s very brave of you to expect others to ‘adapt or die’ when you didn’t miss a single paycheck from your government job during the pandemic. As far as I’m concerned, you’ve had an eight month paid vacation.”
We gotta follow the dictates of the World Health Organization to the letter!!!!!
Faux News:
The head of the World Health Organization [Tedros Adhanom Ghegreyesus], in charge of making life or death decisions on a grand scale, has been accused of covering up cholera epidemics, supporting a terrorist organization and inflating his resume to claim he conquered malaria and HIV.
WHO:
Lockdowns: The WHO warned that lockdowns have caused a “terrible global catastrophe”. According to the UN, lockdowns may put the livelihood of 1.6 billion people at acute risk and may push an additional 150 million children into poverty. Unemployment, bankruptcies and psychological problems have reached record levels worldwide.
Official sources have concluded the survival rate to be 99.97%. Please stop spreading disinformation about the severity of the China plague. It’s a threat to innocent lives and our democracy.
That's the positive way to look at it. The other way to look at it is it's a power grab by the government that is similar to martial law without the constitutional challenges. Locking people down was useful to commit the fraud the first time, locking people down is also necessary to get away with the fraud...
If you want a good picture of demoralization in action and have a lot to time to waste, watch this lib talk for an hour in 2014 then read his Wikipedia article and related links while keeping in mind everything he said, particularly the parts that weren't wrong.
So all 2 of you who do that will see he's a sneaky misdirecting hypocrite! Literally this Yale CFR guy describing what globalism does to countries while simultaneously preaching Russophobia and crass Eurolatry (don't go look that up, it's a word I just invented as an antonym of Euroskepticism) instead of sane "good fences" policy like Trump has been setting up for the past four years (also one of his books shits on the title of a much better thinker, Hayek). Likewise on record repeatedly claiming Trump is yet another Hitler.
But he has one point, because he illustrated it well talking about Fox and RT. The confusion works quite well, because most people never get a solid training in philosophy that tells you the answer to "I don't know what to believe!" isn't "the first thing that sounds alright", it's "I have the power to hold no opinion before I hear the facts".
Like I've been saying . . .
Face Masks are simply a virtue signaling device.
It gives the populace something to do in the face of this nearly non-lethal pandemic.
Imagine a virus so deadly you needed multiple tests to confirm you had it because you're asymptomatic.
Exactly this. Wife had symptoms, very mild ones, popped positive. I popped positive with absolutely NO symptoms. Required to get tested as I'm a first responder.

Then it's *with Covid, not "of" Covid.
Shouldn’t even be with Covid, but with coronavirus. Everyone admitted to a hospital gets multiple coronavirus tests, and if they come back positive, the death certificate will list Covid if they die, but we don’t seem to be tracking if they actually exhibited any Severe Acute Respiratory Symptoms.
I have a neighbor who took her 90 year old father out of HOSPICE during the pandemic. He caught COVID, got O2 and steroids at home, and recovered.
COVID IS NOT EBOLA!!!
EDIT: several other neighbors went to the hospital. one. way. trip.

Former friend is looking more likely each day.
A friend just closed her massage business for good

Gotta have another lockdown!
Interesting! Appreciate the link
Good read, thanks for the link.
Imagine a virus they cancel school over when the majority of people recover.
Yup. Gee, sounds like exposure to low doses of the seasonal flu. You may have zero symptoms. Also, similar near-100% survival rate.
Remind me again when we shut down the country for the flu?
When we gave it a fancy name and 24/7 news fearmongering coverage.
Don't forget the ominous bass-heavy minor-key theme music and scary red-text logo, to use when coming in/out of commercial breaks.
(Scary music) (big red text) CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC DANGEROUS DEADLY EMERGENCY CRISIS UPDATE!!!
People are SO gullible, it's funny and sad at the same time.
It's enough to make you sick 😣so ridiculous.
Literally. People are getting less fresh air, sunlight, exercise, and socialization. All the things that affect health and well-being.
Well said.
This claim about the China virus survival rate is disputed.
The disputedness of this claim is disputed.
Official sources have concluded the survival rate to be 99.97%. Please stop spreading disinformation about the severity of the China plague. It’s a threat to innocent lives and our democracy.
It's other purpose is to give politicians cover so they can say they're doing something. Very similar to the TSA in that regards.
That's the positive way to look at it. The other way to look at it is it's a power grab by the government that is similar to martial law without the constitutional challenges.

Aka Compelled speech. Where the hell are the lawsuits that were filed months ago?
Even Dr. Fauci said that... once.
If Fauci says "X" and you give him a bit of time, he'll say "not X" eventually.
He's done it lots of times already.
Confusion is demoralizing, and demoralized people are very easy to condition.
