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

It’s not purely the idea of X # of deaths. It’s the fact that the virus is easily transmitted to others and we can avoid people needlessly dying purely by wearing masks at the grocery store, the bank, other public spaces ect.

Cancer, for example obviously kills more people than Covid, but cancer isn’t spread by being around someone else with cancer.

So to go back to your question. Is Covid a big concern? Yes, it is because if we try to live life exactly the same as we did before COVID we will have a million or more people die for no good reason. People would go to places asymptotic, infect dad, or grandma and then those folks die.

Also, we are still not sure of the LONG TERM effects of COVID. While you might not die how does your body fair years from now?
Death also isn’t the only factor that is accounted for when you are infected with covid. Some people have lung damage for the rest of their life or other ailments. Some people experience long term heart or brain damage.

“ one review found about 40% of seriously ill Covid-19 patients in China experienced arrhythmias and 20% experienced other cardiac injuries. “

I’ll put it to you this way. I’m still inviting a few people to my house, I might go out to eat on a patio with my fiancé here and there, we traveled a bit. I don’t wear a mask outside unless there’s a huge group around me(went to Yellowstone recently and there was a shitload of people at Old Faithful), but I wear a mask at the grocery store and other indoor public places. I don’t want to

A) get the virus and infect other people(I’m not worried about personally dying I’m healthy)
B) have this affect the country for longer than another year.


In my opinion, if some folks in American would stop bitching about their “freedoms” for a couple of months and just wear their mask in public indoor spaces this shite would be over with pretty quick and we can move on to getting the economy back on track along with a bucket full of other problems.


Also all the folks talk about how their friend who is a doctor/nurse/janitor/ at the hospital said they bump the numbers but it’s always a friend of a friend or someone’s cousin lol. The numbers ain’t wrong, it’s just propaganda that infected some of our citizens that make them think there’s some sort of grand conspiracy.

Yes, because it’s much more logical and rational to protect the vulnerable than to shut down the ENTIRE economy. Your mindset is 100% about you and only you, screw if people are losing their shirt because you refuse to worry about your damn self and not what everyone else is doing.

I feel like you didn’t read his entire post.

If you think the presidents treatment and the lay person’s treatment are the same, then you’re way too ignorant to reason with. But yeah, preexisting illnesses always play into a person’s death. That doesn’t mean they were dying from said illness. You don’t even know what a comorbidity is. I bet you’re boycotting nascar and the nfl, you absolute patriot.

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.

Put me down as a gullible old person, that is very concerned for my health and yours too.

200,000 people died WITH Covid. Not OF Covid. Big difference.

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

The only one I know was in hospice, and her family considered her death a mercy.

No, I’m just able to process information as given to me, and make a sensible thought about it.

If you looked at anything with even a little bit of reality, you’d realize how false this statement is. He’s the most decisive “leader” we’ve ever had. He reacts to things like a kid. I grew up republican, before you start. Education goes a long way in the real world. I recommend looking at things without bias.
