Yeah it's not the Covid-19, it's the ARDS is what gets you.

Like with AIDS: it's not the HIV, nor the AIDS, it's the kaposi sarcoma, the pneumonia, the TB, the herpes that gets them.

In almost every case that i have read about, the patient was sent home from the ED at least once to continue getting worse. May have had better outcomes if treatment started sooner...

You have to be a huge piece of shite to think like this. Most of us have family members north of 65. I’d like to see them stick around.

If you have pneumonia and any kind of flu/cov/rsv/etc, you are in for a fight.


My 75 year old mom had pneumonia after the flu in January. She took some antibiotics at home and was good in 4 days. Don’t let the internet get in your head. Plenty of people of all ages recover from all that stuff every day just fine.

Real pneumonia is just water in your lungs and it’s percentages based.

Not dignifying the rest of your comment about this woman. She was just a regular red blooded American who happened to pick this crap up just going to church. Saw a story about her on TV and she looked to have a grandson who was a Marine. She did not appear to be overweight but that is a moot point. She was a productive member of society taken too young. Not that it matters but Tom Hanks is only a year younger and like her has diabetes. Should he die because of his "old age" and should this lady be disparaged because of hers?

Says the guy ranting how we should stop taking precautions because of the economy?


I didn’t say we should stop taking precautions: wash your hands whenever you arrive somewhere and as soon as you get home. Use hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol in between washes. Don’t shake hands with people. Avoid large gatherings. If you’re elderly or immunocompromised consider self quarantine. If you’re sick stay at home. If you have a cough and fever call a doctor.

Offices with the ability to let people work from home should do so. If you have to go to work use common sense and wash your hands and clean your area.

I simply argue that the gov should not mandate shutdowns and needs in the daily lives of private businesses. Advise and inform the public of what’s going on, but do not legislate specific actions into businesses. The private sector is more than capable of handeling this situation.

Illness and death happens in this world. It’s a sad and often depressing reality of the world we live in. We cannot grind the country to a halt for a virus that frankly doesn’t have the research to back up the narrative the media keeps pushing.

Those 13 people could have been saved if trump would’ve shut down bars and gyms a year ago

My mom is in the hospital right now with stage 4 lung cancer. Last week she developed pneumonia and was later sent to to ICU. Yesterday she got moved out of ICU and into a regular hospital room because the pneumonia had gotten better. So, as weak and frail is she is from lung cancer and radiation, her body was able to fight off the pneumonia (with the help of doctors and medicine of course).

Coronaviruses typically don’t cause pneumonia though.

so we should shut down the country because less than 1% of the pop might die of something new?

Why wouldn't the CDC or whoever is responsible for studying these things be able to predict this? Not this virus exactly but something similar.


Oh goodness - yes, our leader really gets and values this science and research stuff. Lol
