re: There still have been less than 1% of the US population to contract COVID

shite, I don't know if I've ever seen a stronger collection of stupid takes. Is this a joke post or troll?

Probably closer to 10%. If it was really less than 1%, this thing would be deadlier than the spanish flu.

The death rate under 75 years old is infinitesimal, but they wont tell you that anywhere, you have to find it for yourself.

This is true of just about every virus ever. Nobody tells you that because it doesn't really need to be said.

They like to keep the totally tally of all cases

Yep, that's what a "tally" is.

even as people recover they don't subtract those numbers

The active case numbers are easy to find.

so it looks more dreadful.

No, it's so we know how many people have tested positive.

So? When you get taxed, they look at how much you made, not how much you have left.

The illustration of how a virus spreads with people using paint on their hands is a joke. This is a VIRUS, it does not replicate as it goes from surface to surface.

You know what else doesn't replicate as it goes from surface to surface? Paint.

No news source ever talks about viral load and how much virus it takes to cause an infection. They want you to think a single virus can put you in the hospital.

No, they don't talk about it because nobody really knows, and it likely varies immensely from person to person. I have never once thought that I was trying to be convinced that "a single virus" can put me in the hospital.


I really, really hope this was a troll post.
