Utter nonsense. You can’t possibly be stupid enough to believe what you posted.
And I’m sure that’s going to happen in probably five, four, three, two, one…
Kozak will never reply to you. He’s only here to push the fear.....FROM HIS BASEMENT
“Over 3000 dying every day in the US on average.
Thats some cold.”
You are a clever one.
To tell you again simply. This Coronavirus is not as benign as a common cold. Natural history of viruses indicates it will be selected over time to become more like that.
Covid deaths are almost exclusively in the older age group who statistically are at higher probability of death. If every person who died were subjected to a PCR test for common cold and a positive result was designated death by cold, there would be similar numbers of death due to cold.
Homework for you.
How many deaths overall all cause have there been in the last few years and how does it compare to this year. How many deaths per day are average?
The CDC does not count flu and common cold deaths the same way it counts C-19.
55% of C-19 deaths are caused by pneumonia or ARDS.
However, the CDC counts 100% of those deaths as C-19 deaths.
At least 100,000 Americans die each year from pneumonia and ARDS caused by the flu and common colds.
Almost NONE of those deaths are counted as flu or common cold deaths.
4000 black babies are killed each week in the US by abortion. That’s not even counting hispanics and whites.
Well, my husband and I had covid (not officially diagnosed, but had all the exact symptoms) back in early March 2020. I was sick longer than he, about 6 weeks, with the first 2 weeks being the worst. Then for months I would have “days” where I was unwell.
10 months later - we both became ill again. This time he did get a positive test, I didn’t bother (hate the idea of being an official statistic) and we both had a milder, yet still fairly rough, bout of covid. He had cough/lung issues, where I tended more to long fever and body pain. We both slept/are sleeping A LOT. He got his positive result on 1/4. He had been exposed on 12/27. He had symptoms on 1/2, mine began on 1/3.
So, we were “immune” for about 10 months, caught it again from direct exposure to an active case, spent 2 weeks feeling very low - but not as bad as the first go round. We are still recovering, having low energy, generally feeling sort of crappy, but main symptoms have eased. Dr. won’t prescribe ANY meds for husband - not for his horrible cough, nor the pneumonia caused by covid. I wonder why they refuse any and all meds?
Yours is a very thought-provoking post.
“Dr Anthony mengella (sp?)“
I call him Dr. Pancake.
He flip/flops like one.
“For what it’s worth my quick research indicates that only about 33% of the worlds population was infected by the Spanish Flu a hundred years ago.“
SHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! We CANNOT have the masses informed!!!
Without FEAR, HOW are we to CONTROL them?!?!?
We had practically the same experience at about the same time as you and your husband.
Early on, I had a weird bug (I fly for work each week) and ignored it like all the other bugs I usually catch every year. This one wouldn’t let go.
That little, nagging non-stop cough..
the constant headache, the wheezing.. the fatigue and feeling CRUMMY.. reminded me of the few asthma bouts I’ve had.
I ignored it and kept working til they shut us down. It turned into pneumonia before they shut us down. I kept working.
Unlike you, we haven’t caught it again, I don’t think..
I am having a bit of congestion lately but not any more..
What I guess I’m getting at is: how “deadly” did this feel to you guys?
Mine was a pain in the butt, but quite a long way from deadly or anything to fear by most of the general public.
I CAN see this being potentially life threatening to an old person (I’m 58) or someone with cancer or emphysema and things like that.
But deadly?
We must keep in mind that by failing to challenge our immune systems for a year or so will likely leave us with weakened systems and thus susceptible to infections that we normally fought off easily.
The cure is far worse than the disease - possibly by design.
Yeah but what does Dr Falsie say????....what a narc idiot....
Don't buy the hype.
These T-cells most likely result from previous coronavirus infections. For the same reason that antibody (serology) tests are almost useless to specifically detect previous Covid-19 infection, these preexisting T-cells could actually help a person to recover from Covid-19 infection faster. There are enough similarities between related viruses that the immune system does a poor job of distinguishing between them.
New research predicts that, like the virus that caused the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918, COVID-19 will become another seasonal bug that we build efficient long-term immunity against.
One cannot compare coronaviruses and influenza viruses. Influenza viruses mutate very rapidly due to their unique genetic structure. Their genetic material consists of eight physically separate gene cassettes (seven for influenza b viruses); different strains of virus can trade gene cassettes to become new strains. In addition, a given influenza strain tends to circulate for a few years, then disappear completely while other strains gain dominance. The 1917-1919 pandemic H1N1 virus disappeared. While currently circulating strains of H1N1 share some similarity to the 1918 virus, they are different strains. Because of the biology and high mutagenicity of influenza viruses, there is a persistent concern that a new influenza virus will form and cause a highly deadly pandemic.
In contrast to influenza viruses, coronavirus genes are all present on a single piece of genetic material. This completely eliminates one of the mechanisms (swapping of gene cassettes) that influenza uses to mutate rapidly. It is not impossible for coronaviruses to trade genes, but since all of their genes are on the same strand of genetic material, the process is more complicated and less likely to occur. Thus, in the long run, protective immunity could be passed from mother to child and childhood illness could help to decrease the severity of later illness. We don't know. Another possibility is that it could adapt to human host through mutation and lose some virulence as a result. At this time, we can use the history of other infectious agents as a guide for predicting the possible future of Covid-19, but we have no solid evidence to project its future.
Eventually = March 2021
Ithink it was an accurate description of the reality of this overhyped pathogen with a very low IFR.
