It’s the same logical fallacy-the anecdotal evidence fallacy. Your perspective of this disease is limited by your one single experience. I have seen well over a hundred cases of Covid and I have reviewed the cases of another hundred at least. It does kill people, especially old people. I have seen it and I have seen it frequently cause severe illness in those that it doesn’t kill, especially old people and I have seen it cause mild illness plenty of times as well, primarily in young people. That you cling to this anecdotal evidence is just foolishness. I could explain the phenomena of thymic involution and immunosenescence to you but you have had Covid so you certainly understand these things already since you’re a medical professional now.
If one introduces a common cold into a nursing home.. a common cold - won’t there be a good chance of fatalities? That why common sense tells us that if you’re sick, stay away from nursing homes and hospitals and folks going thru cancer treatments, etc...
The point is, we don’t shut down society for a simple virus. Not unless people are whipped up into a frenzy regarding it.
People die. You, me, - ALL of us die eventually of something. And we ALL get sick along the way. This is a part of life.
What’s being done is the manipulation of the population by over-exaggeration of a virus. It’s a power grab. If we do not call it out, we become slaves in the end.
How did we survive Ebola, H1N1 and the rest of those deadly diseases that have swept our world every year - right on time? We never shut down... We survived.
