See, this is my thing. My whole family has been so afraid of CoVid, and I’ve been saying all along that there are PLENTY of pathogens out there that could make us equally sick or worse than the Wuhan flu. Your recent illness is a perfect example. Probably more awful than CoVid, what you went through.
yup- the wuhan was really bad though for only a very small subset of folks- elderly overweight people with 4 or more comorbidities- That’s really it- although some ‘healthy’ people died- we don’t know if they were truly healthy as many folks don’t get regularly tested- and could have had underlying diseases they didn’t even know they had- while some truly healthy people died- it’s no different than the flue really as even regular flu kills some healthy people seemingly randomly as well-
the overall survivability of Covid 19 itself was like 99.4% or something like that- about on par with flu- a bit worse perhaps=- but still plenty survivable for the majority of people
We will never know the TRUE numbers for folks who died FROM covid- as they counted all manner of deaths as having died covid, when in reality many died WITH covid, and did not die FROM covid-
We had covid twice that we are almost certain of- maybe more- it sucked, but we’ve had worse flues before really- one so bad i ended up in hospital fighting to breathe- i never got that bad with the covid-
