Is Covid Really as big a concern as being out to be?

I understand that it can be bad and even fatal for an extremely small portion of our population, but what if any sickness could do that to those same people, for instance the flu? Why are we shutting all of life down and freaking out something from what I seen for the majority of us doesn't even show signs of any symptoms? That's like me having a runny nose and calling into work, but if I say I tested positive for Covid but I feel fine, then it's a 2 week quarantine of myself. I don't want to see anymore headlines of teams or groups of people that says TESTED positive for covid 19 anymore because what is that actually saying? I question the testing accuracy and if anyone is actually feeling sick and being given positive results. Who else is tired of the overblown fear mongering of the virus. Does anyone care about cases compared to actual people that are sick?

Ask the families of the 219,000+ people who have died from it.

No, it's not as bad as the media is scaring people into thinking it is. Look at the nfl with all the false positive tests ect. once the election is over you'll start to see it slowly fade away.

Are you sure they all really died from Covid-19? Also why have all the other causes of death conveniently drop? I forgot this a college site and a bunch of gullible young people. I hope you all don't just follow along with everything in the news like a bunch of cows in a herd.

I personally talked to a physician at a big hospital, and he said they are being paid extra to claim that people died from covid19. When in reality they aren't dying from covid19 . Other ailments are causing the deaths, but because after the death they determine that the patient had covid19 they are claiming covid19. Numbers are skewed.

It’s a huge concern for people who are very old, very unhealthy, and have a ton of pre-existing health conditions. But it’s none of the government, or media, or celebrities, or sports teams’ concerns. It’s not their place to force anyone to do anything when the very small at-risk segment of the population should be voluntarily quarantining themselves and everyone else should be living normal lives.

This has been beaten into the ground. Come back when you have an original thought

No you didn't. All over the world doctors are doing this and this is somehow kept quiet? Please.

Is covid something we need to lock down and fear like it's the plague? No of course not but it does have terrible effects on certain people with certain conditions.
