Seventy-five percent of likely U.S. voters think they would recover from COVID-19 if they caught the virus, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

Just 22% of the likely voters expressed doubt about surviving the virus and 7% were unsure...."Fifty-nine percent of Republicans are Very Confident they could recover," he said. "Just 25% of Democrats agree...

A few months ago I posted an article that discussed the results of a study that showed something like 1 in 6 people believed 9 million Americans have died of the 'rona, so maybe this is progress.

This means that there are ANOTHER ADDITIONAL 24.942% of people who will be ABSOLUTELY RIGHT and don’t know it yet!

Good news. There are people who have some sense.

Currently myself (47) and my two daughters (Teen and kindergartener) are “survivors”

Youngest had a fever for a day
Teen felt sick for day and has been sleeping more
I Have had a dull low grade headache for a week now...basically a llingering head cold.

2 other kids in the house tested negative.

No rhyme or reason really

Your math is wrong. 97.2% survival rate.

"Fifty-nine percent of Republicans are Very Confident they could recover," he said. "Just 25% of Democrats agree.

Which means that, Biden and most democrat leaders are doing a very good job of scaring their voters to death.

Democrats are real good at scaring people to vote for democrats. Without the scare tactics, and without the voting fraud, democrats would be a party with a very insignificant number of voters.

"Democrats are more worried and want to be more cautious. Republicans are saying it's not the end of the world."

Had it, survived it and have moved on with life.
I’m 70.

It needs to be 99% or this totalitarian nonsense will never stop.

[rlmorel]

Just poking fun at it. In any case, there is no way there is a 2.8% mortality rate, I believe they are inflating the statistics by counting anyone who dies infected with Coronavirus as a Covid death.

[CheshireTheCat]

But I think more than 1% of the population are hypochondriacs. Certainly more than 1% are neurotics.

[livius]

Actually, about 99% will recover if they get it...percentage may be slightly lower for elderly people in bad health, but even so, most will recover. This is a panic about nothing, lower death rate than the yearly flu.

And BTW, did anybody see the report that flu deaths were way, way down this year? That’s because they’re being counted as Covid because the symptoms were the same and were accepted without testing, or because the person had had COVID before getting the flu and thus had the antibodies and tested positive after their death from the flu.

It’s all delusional.

So very happy you are still doing well God Bless, I know it was a rough ride but I am so very relieved you are WELL!!!

[Cold Heart]

Clearly shows how unreliable polls are compared to reality.

[lgjhn23]

“...So very happy you are still doing well God Bless, I know it was a rough ride but I am so very relieved you are WELL!!!...”

Thank you!!! Again.
It was a very rough ride for about 12 days, but I made it thru. I’m now back to full strength and doing well.
FWIW, while dealing with the symptoms and self-quarantined, I managed to break one of my crowns loose..LOL..I didn’t swallow it, but had to wait about 2 weeks before I could get it cemented back on. 2020 has been rough of this old boy...LOL

[Verginius Rufus]

Only 6% of the Covid deaths so far have been people without a co-morbidity—so the real toll for Covid alone has been 12,000 or so—much less than a typical toll for flu season. On an average week, 50,000 people die in this country (all causes put together).

January 1 2021 will be a welcomed sight:)

Keep yourselves healthy, my FRiends. My family has been using quercetin, zinc, and vitamin C as recommended by the Eastern Virginina School of Medicine and remain completely untouched. Or, if we have been touched, we are completely unaware of it. https://www.evms.edu/media/evms_public/departments/internal_medicine/Marik-Covid-Protocol-Summary.pdf

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I’m doing the same with the addition of vitamin D3 daily.

[cyclotic]

Besides the stupid mask under duress, I can’t believe I haven’t gotten it yet. No real lifestyle changes. I’ve worked every single day.

My job normally has me traveling and meeting people and I’m still doing that as much as I can.

99% survival.
