I seem to remember it having a very low death rate just like the other covid variants but just want to make sure I’m not misremembering.

Covid is deadly to fat unhealthy people.

So it wouldn’t be a clown statement to say the delta variant wasn’t deadly or serious to young people at the macro level and the death rate for those under 50 was similar or lesser to that of the flu?

It was by far the worst in the hospital I worked at. “Drop like flies”is not accurate but we absolutely had some deaths in people in their 40s and 50s. Also some admissions and very sick people that were in good shape/athletic mainly from pneumonia and blood clots.

So is the flu, asthma, diabetes, cancer, heart issues. Fat unhealthy people die.

But what does the actual data show for the death rate in younger people?

Intubation and remdesivir killed most patients

Covid/pneumonia killed my coworker who refused redemsivir, 52 not fat but had RA. We were all pretty skeptical of redemsivir.

The Delta variant was by far the most severe, but it seemed like that’s when they were sticking everyone on the breathing machine and they were never coming off of it.

Alpha was still the most severe in terms of inferred mortality rate and rate of hospitalization per case

The 2020 variant took out the old folks.

Omicron and delta hit the 30-40 year olds hard. My cousin is a nurse at a major hospital and verified this.

She actually thinks there’s another spike going on right now that’s not being reported much.

That was earlier for us. We tried to put people on the vent only as last resort during delta. It was sad too because most of them knew by that point that they were fricked.

I think the biggest issue that NOBODY really talked about was the isolation. You’d have these 50ish year olds that were isolated in the hospital with only the sound of oxygen going all day. A lot of times they’d just give kinda get used to that and give up.

When I’d go in for PT with them I’d try to FaceTime their families while they were up and working. I think we could’ve saved some of the ones we did lose had they been able to actually see/touch their family members and not been so shut of from everyone.

It “hit them hard” with a death rate under 0.1%

And this is exact point of the thread. Covid reactions were run by emotional stories of those in the hospitals and not given by autists who take emotion out of it and just give you the data

If every newscast was simply a data read out by a computer and no human stories allowed, the entire ordeal would have been handled so so so much differently

Even with all the data we have now, you still have people argue against it “because of what I saw in the hospital”

Humans are terrible about not letting their small personal encounters not blind them of the much bigger picture

A lot of people talked about it. As well as the effects of taking the youth out of their routines and isolating them as well

Those people were silenced or ignored though

I agree the lockdowns were excessive, but I believe Italy was reporting 800+ deaths per day at one time.

India also was hit hard in 2021.

I’ve never had a Covid shot or stopped my normal routines, but it certainly hits others harder than some.

This thread is not going the way you planned, is it Clown Pride? You just had to make a new thread based off of my post and then cherry picked out of context. I said males under 50 that were already hospitalized and intubated due to Delta was dying at a rapid pace and I attributed it to hospitals withholding or curtailing IV fluids while frying the kidneys with Remdesivir. You chose to leave that out didn't you? You are truly a retarded clown and here's your 23rd downvote. Something tells me it won't be your last DV clown.

Wait. So you mean the people that were almsot already dead died at a high rate?

Yes, once you get so ducking sick you have to be intubated you have a high chance of dying

But as a whole delta and every variant of covid was of almost no real risk to those under 50 based on actual data

And people are downvoting becuase they think it’s ridiculous to call covid deadly you damn clown

Here is what you said

To sit there with a straight face and claim Delta variant didn't have a major effect on younger people on a data stratified one-to-one basis is truly telling of your bullshite view of things

People in their 40s were dropping like flies

Answer the question Clown Pride, why did you leave out the context of me saying Remdesivir? You already had a poster above talk about Remdesivir? Why did you start a new thread where the majority of posters and lurkers are laughing at your out of touch dumbass with downvotes?

I posted exactly what you said. You said delta at a major effect on you get people. That is YOUR words

You didn’t stratify anything. You only ever added “especially when” in reference to remdesicir. Not saying “only when”.
