7,000 alleged NYC COVID-19 deaths have been thoroughly examined and in 99.2% of them at least one other life-threatening illness was involved. How can the virus be in and of itself deadly if it's killed virtually no one in NYC who wasn't already dying of something else?
See my post number 99 in this thread.
I thought of that when I wrote this, agree completely. But, flipping the argument, are you taking precaution? if so, why? If it’s your time, its your time...
I’m having this conversation with my elderly dad, who’s COPD, trying to get him to wear a mask when he goes out.
If they don’t wear a seat belt, don’t secure the ladder, etc. then yes.
I would believe the mortality rate for this is higher than all the straw man examples you gave, and I’ve given them too. Our bodies don’t have a data base to process this virus yet, until then it’s going to be deadly to many.
I have a friend in Idaho who got sick in early January. All the right symptoms. Got tested last week and she tested positive for the covid antibodies. Upper 40’s and she also said it wasn’t that bad.
We’ve been had.
You’d think the first place to get this disease might be a popular tourist spot...like Hawaii. Yep, that is where I got it, Halloween of 2019. The entire Island came down with a very hard cold/flu. I took it back to Washington State and got my family and friends sick...nobody died, only a few cried...
...But, flipping the argument, are you taking precaution? if so, why?
Good question, I’m a “Caregiver” and if I get “sick” I can hurt a lot of people. I try not to fear (much) dying, but being the vector for hurting others is unacceptable (to me).
I am also a motorcyclist. That is an intrinsically high risk behavior, but I’m not likely to hurt anyone else. Biking requires an odd combination of fearless but cautious behavior.
No, there the ones stating that if you had high blood pressure or diabetes and got COVID-19 and died then it wasn’t COVID-19 that was the cause of death. Ridiculous
Show me one post where I said any number. Just one.
You cannot even recall who you are writing to.
I’ve been mocking people posting numbers since the first week this thing broke out.
Go rail against the moon. You clearly are just screaming at everyone.
One foot in the grave...the other on a banana peel. Covid 19 or the flu is the banana peel.
Are you now going too deny that you have been pushing all these super high coronavirus death rates, after pushing super high coronavirus death from the get go and doing everything you can to spread panic and hysteria? Something that you continue to do even as we speak?
Fuzzy math/fuzzy logic! Like my old math teacher you to say: “I’m going to have to ask you to show your work and don’t skip any steps either.”
Ding! Ding! We have a winner.
That’s what I think too. Extra precautions is one thing. Even closing hospitals and nursing homes is reasonable. But shutting down the country?? The panic is ludicrous.
What else is bad for people? No jobs, no money, global depressions, and mass unemployment.
Our bodies don’t have the data base to process this virus yet?
But there is a survival rate that is in the high nineties. 50% of the infected are asymptomatic. Most have mild symptoms... 97% of those that die have at least one underlying illness. This isn’t the Black Plague...
A coworker came back from Hawaii early January too and had what they thought was pneumonia. Wrong. Covid. He’s in his late 50’s. Then later 3 other coworkers got “the flu” that couching and breathing problems just stuck with them. My family and kids all had some crummy thing ourselves. I’m positive it was all covid.
We have 100% had the knee-jerk pansies running the show for WAY TOO LONG! Destroying lives and wealth over some crap that could have been handled by quarantining the elderly or other vulnerable. It’s sickening.
Yes. I absolutely deny it. In fact, I will donate $100 if you can find a post where I said anything other than you probably WONT die from this, you won’t get sick and the biggest concern was gumming you the works.
You are lying scumbag who simply attacks people. Go do your search and prove me wrong with a link.
Here is where I laid out me feelings on this. Back in the early days.

Read the CDC explanation.
Yeah, didn’t think you would find anything.
You can send my donation to Jim.
A friend of ours had a heart attack 10 years ago. With surgery he survived. The surgeon gave him 5 years to live. In March, he had pain and tingling in his arms, chest pain, and collapsed while working in the yard. He was rushed to the hospital. He was unconscious when he arrived and placed on a ventilator - he also had a history of lung problems. He soon died.
He tested positive for coronavirus. Cause of death? Coronavirus. But it sure sounds like a heart attack to me. Wouldn’t expect coronavirus to attack in a way that a person would go from feeling fine to collapsed to unconscious within minutes. Particularly a person who had already outlived his heart surgeon’s estimate by 5 years.
