Is it a cold, or is it covid. That is the question.

While 100MM is fearporn, there IS likely a SEASONAL DIMENSION to cases and fatalities. The majority of deaths in most countries can be attributed to causes that feature a distinct seasonal pattern. The figure depicts the relative monthly frequencies of nine selected causes of death in the United States for women and men combined for the years 1959–2014. The reported number of counts in parentheses in the title of each panel is the actual number of deaths.

Viruses gonna virus. Based on this chart, even non-viruses gonna non-virus.

A very likely reality, is that this bug will be with us forever. While the case fatality rate started out high, it'll continue trending down to approach the 0.2% CFR for influenza. It'll simply become a seasonal annoyance...

....an annoyance that destroyed the economy, flipped the Presidency, and weaponized the CDC and OSHA, and made Anthony Fauci infamous. Hundreds of thousands of elderly people died in isolation (because loved ones were barred from surrounding them as they drowned in their own fluids "based on safety protocols"), children and GenZers are depressed and young ones suffering from speech delays, and families have fractured because "you can't see your grandchildren because you're an antivaxxer who doesn't follow the (political) science." It required a SCOTUS ruling to declare that OSHA hadn't the power to force people to get experimental treatments against their will.

All this means, is that every fall and winter, disgust for leftists (and statist collaborators on the right) will rise. They will go onto the next episode of Bread and Circuses- we will Never Forget.

If over 99% overall survive, it’s a cold... or covid

I’ve had a cold the last week. Found out someone I know had Covid so out of curiosity did a Covid test. Positive. I’ve had much worse ‘just colds’.
