re: First family death due to covid

people are rightly skeptical about the story and I, for one, suspect OP is trolling. If I'm wrong, I'm very sorry. But it's an anonymous LSU internet forum essentially made for trolling. If serious, why bring something that serious in here in the first place?

quote:

---

We are all very sorry for you loss, and 32 it too young to leave this world. With that being said, it is wrong at this point to use a death of a loved one to incite a feeling of fear into other people.

---

So you want the truth to be hidden because people will be scared of reality? People need to learn how to be realistic.

quote:

---

There have been about fifty (literally) 32 year old women die of this in the entire country this year.

---

And probably 100% of them had a pre-existing condition.


OP is either lying about this person being "perfectly healthy" or his entire post is a lie.


We saw this "perfectly healthy " tactic being used with the media in their reporting and then you find a picture of the person and they're 300 pounds.


It's bullshite and only serves to scare people based on misleading information which is wrong. Its like scaring people away from driving because of car accidents happening to blind people.

---

If you get covid you have a three percent chance of dying. Figure out 3 percent of your family and there you go

Now I doubt the " healthy" part after this statement, and even if true, it's very unlikely she could fit in a rowboat.

quote:

---

Why do these details matter to have sympathy for someone who passed. Does their life have less value based on what sickness they may or may not have been battling.

---

Not at all.

I am saying that I’m having a difficult enough time convincing myself that this poster actually had a 32 year old relative pass given his/her months-long history posting about Covid and the immediate play on emotions in the OP.

Given that Covid deaths for 32 year olds are news most everywhere as they are quite rare and make good headlines, it should be easy enough to verify. If it’s true, the poster very much has my sympathy and compassion.

She was heathy. Why not accept people you love will be affected by the pandemic and why we should try to stop the spread the best we can

---

It’s slow the spread until herd immunity or safe and effective vaccine not stop.

I also think people are doing best they can to slow spread and not die of something else or lose their livelihood, homes, and/or sanity. Vaccines are coming quicker than anyone expected or are were willing to admit before November 3rd.

What would be more helpful is when an outlier case such as this occurs posters include anything that may have contributed to death including ignored symptoms that some might not realize should have triggered more urgent medical treatment like O2 levels (or not actively checking O2 levels while sick), wrong or delayed treatment, how long was she ill, catching something else while fighting Wuhan, and so on. Also, Some healthy people drop dead of preexisting heart conditions they didn’t know they had, so it’s possible healthy people before Wuhan infection could still have had a preexisting condition they didn’t know about until their body was under the stress of fighting this virus.

Age, female, and being healthy would be so rare in Wuhan deaths that what we could learn from death is not more masks and social distance to prevent but more about after infection when it turns bad for those who are younger and healthy before infection.

Our kid doing face to face school had one teacher send out an email before it started pushing more restrictions and safety protocols for students in class than district and emphasizing the need being that her mother lived with her family and was trying to protect her. The teacher ended up catching it not from students but her husband bringing into their own home infecting her and their kids but thankfully not her mother. Infections are going to happen even from those you are least concerned about infecting you.

Like you mentioned statistics aren’t a guarantee and that includes wearing masks and practicing social distance in public, so there has to be something post infection that we can learn from outlier deaths other than more pushes for same preventative measures.

I mean I just posted this above

Figure out 3 percent of your family and there you go

This is just plain stupid. How is 15/100th of ONE of my family members going to die?

quote:

This is alarming if healthy people will now be at higher risks.

---

It's not that healthy people will be at higher risk. Everybody is at risk. You do realize all the "underlying conditions " and "obesity" was just second guessing at the time. They had no idea who it would kill. Still don't.

I know fat people with diabetes that shook the virus off like a mosquito bite. This is just me guessing, but I think it depends on what strand and which mucus membrane is attacked. But nobody knows for sure.
