No problem. I see it a lot here, people think COVID is like most illnesses where being fit, healthy, strong, etc. will save you. In actuality, having a strong immune response is the exact opposite of what you want with COVID, because THAT'S when people die. I don't think a lot of people know that it's the immune system reaction this particular virus triggers that kills you, or produces strokes which leaves you disabled for life, and not the virus itself.

The main reason why the elderly die and younger people survive is that the function of the organs is higher in the young - so they can withstand the hit from COVID and have some left over to make it through. Many elderly people don't. But people don't understand that the damage is across ALL ages - and we have young, fit, athletic skiers with mild or asymptomatic COVID display heart damage in scans akin to a heart attack or progressive heart failure.

People think COVID is just a cold, one and done. They are unaware of the damage it leaves behind even inside of them even with a mild or asymptomatic case. THIS is why the vaccine is needed. So that the immune system reaction can be CONTROLLED through medication instead of severe and unchecked.

This is a virus that enters via the fucking endothelium. You DON'T want endothelium damage even if you only get the sniffles as an active symptom because that's your organ linings.

I don't think people get the damage China is doing with this extremely subtle, insidious virus.
