All of which is what those of us in health care have been hoping/waiting for.
We also know better how to manage it once a patient is admitted.
The virus that caused the “great influenza” is still out there, but has mutated into a much less lethal virus.
Covid-19 will magically disappear from news after Biden is anointed president.
Show of hands?
Who is willing to keep President Trump even if it means that the Enemy Media keeps yapping about Covid-19?
*WAVES*
It never was that deadly.. the mortality rate is manufactured.
Farci said this would all be over around March.
Based on even the most casual of data analysis (from Johns Hopkins CSSE data) the US daily Case Fatality Rate is hovering around 1% and has been for quite a while.
I disagree. I think no matter who “wins,” the Hoax News media and lockdown tyrants are gonna keep claiming China Virus pandemic.
If it’s Trump, they’ll just use it to keep the economy shackled, and if Biteme, they’ll use it to keep people under their thumb.
I see no good way out of this until people begin rebelling, a few at a time until it becomes a wave they cannot control.
I tend to agree with you. . .with one caveat. ..this is just a dry run for the next "crisis:" Climate Change!
The current coronavirus IS a cold virus, which is why it is contagious. It heads for the upper-middle respiratory system and can migrate further down into the respiratory system in people who have weak immune systems - or don’t receive early treatment. But for most people, it will be...well, just a cold.
I read at the very start that even over-the-counter flu and cold meds had been effective in preventing symptoms, such as excess mucus production, These symptoms - or their cause - were not suppressed and became more severe and particularly affected people whose breathing capacity wasn’t very good to begin with, resulting in pneumonia and infection. If this had just been treated like a normal bad cold or flu to begin with, using everything from over the counter symptomatic remedies to proven prescription antivirals, we wouldn’t have gone through these eight months of hell.
But as I read in a European source, this was politics playing medicine.
Just found out an otherwise healthy friend died of Covid this morning. “Less deadly” isn’t “not deadly”. RIP Doug.
Covid-19 will magically disappear from news after Biden is anointed president.
COVID news was nowhere to be found on Nov 4th.
Then the "victory" was called into question, and magically, COVID fear porn came back in spades on the 5th...
Very sorry for your loss.
Spot on brother. It’s a joke. At least it would be if the situation wasn’t so severe.
“I see no good way out of this until people begin rebelling, a few at a time until it becomes a wave they cannot control.”
If one looks at the conditions in non-western countries, its not at all clear that Covid is getting more communicable. Actual detections are flat or down in many countries in spite of great increases in testing rates, plus, apparently, increased sensitivity of tests.
Look at Worldometer for India, Brazil, Indonesia, Philippines, etc.
What we seem to have is the effect of seasonality of Covid much like the influenza viruses. Covid seems to like cold weather.
As for Europe and the US, we also have to cancel out the effect of the vast increase in testing rates and sensitivity, etc. In the case of Covid detections we are looking at a data trend driven by several factors.
The other curiosity (there is a vast range of things we don’t understand about Covid, but some people seem very sure) is the apparent relative immunity or protected status of many regions that were previously hard hit, such as New York or Sweden or Madrid. They are detecting a lot of Covid, but very few, relatively, are dying of it. That is where much of the “Covid is getting less severe” is coming from.
Some simple things seem to be effective now, that were not known then.
One is taking Vitamin D supplements, or perhaps just being out in the sunshine. Perhaps these are generally healthy things that would be good to do over the winter in any event, Covid or no. This sort of thing seems to work better than masks.
It isn’t about the science. It isn’t about safety. It is about subservience.
There will be no good ending. If Trump’s Hail Mary succeeds. Civil war WILL break out. The hate and endangerment of civil order and respect will absolutely pale to what a deranged and rabid fascist, totalitarian left will unleash joined by many republican quislings.
If Biden is inaugurated, you will become his handler’s bitch. They will boil you alive in a slowly but continually heated pot of water.
Dry weather. Correlated but not the same thing. Corona and flu viruses also like indoor spread which is correlated with cold weather and very hot weather.
