For the gazillionth time:
If you’re old, you have comorbidities. This whole thing is just people in bizarre fashion wanting to imagine that they, personally, won’t have any problems when they get old. It’s just self delusion.
77% of over 65 people have hypertension. The standard medication for it is usually a thiazide, which is a diuretic. You can drink cranberry juice in quantity and get a diuretic effec and lower bp, and it’s STILL a comorbidity. The fact you lower it with a pill doesn’t mean you don’t have hypertension.
Over 50% of men over 80 have prostate cancer. It may be contained in the prostate, but that age is pretty high for the radical removal surgery so recommendation is just wait for something else to kill you, because that probably won’t. But in case you were wondering, cancer is a comorbidity. Would you object to a doc labeling a death Covid when a guy has relentlessly falling blood oxygen and also has prostate cancer in situ? I hope not, because that guy died of Covid.
The list goes on. Roughly 60% of people have Vitamin D deficiency and when old, most are severe. Skin loses the ability to convert sunshine with age, and at US latitudes it wasn’t going to happen anyway. Yes, severe vitamin D deficiency is a comorbidity. Take away your supplements and you’ll start to develop issues.
So just stop with this stuff. It derives from young people wanting to imagine that THEY won’t have these issues even when they get old.
They will. The issue is age, because age generates comorbidities and the virus targets the old.
With covid not from covid. But then we knew that already.
Bingo. Until Lester Holt, and David Muir start saying that the myth will continue...
From that great philosopher Steven Stills, Buffalo Springfield song “ for what its worth”
Somewhat fitting for todays Covid fearing society.
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
The man in this case is the CDC , Joey, et al....
