re: How long has it been since someone you know of has died from the China Virus?

I don't know anyone that died from it. Only 1 person I know even went to the hospital and he was released after a few hours and a shot of steroids. We have been lied to for over a year about the severity of covid.

I am 83 - and a number of my cohorts have - according to other friends my age - died from/with "covid" - but those were all who had other significant health problems that had been plaguing them for a number of years - from obesity, heart problems, various cancers, dementia.

I don't have a single friend or acquaintance under 50 who has died from Covid.

I have always been, and still am even more, extremely suspicious of the severity of this pandemic.

My first response in evaluating any breaking 'news' item is ==== "who does this benefit?"
- If it is bad for the country, the DEM party is always the beneficiary.
- If it is good for the country, the GOP is always the beneficiary, (even though some of them do not deserve the benefit they obtain.)

My uncle two months ago. He was already in rough shape before getting Covid.

2 folks recently - one about 3 weeks ago, and the other 10 days ago.

Both were obese and in their 60’s.

Hospital I work at (small, for an island with 50k) I have seen 1 death in 3 months. This is with a recent but small bump in admissions for Covid.

I know of no one personally that has died of it. I’ve know quite a few that had it but none hospitalized with it.

For the folks who down voted this.

To act as if no one died of Covid is simply stupid. Yes, the number of deaths attributed to Covid was no doubt inflated, but both these ladies (a mother and her daughter), died within two weeks of one another, in the same hospital, both after lengthy stays and both after being put on a ventilator.

Bother were overweight, smoked and didn't eat healthy or exercise. But the bottom line is they became ill with a virus (call it what you want), it attacked their lungs and they died.

So you can believe they died of a commom cold for all I care, but they damn sure died of something that was serious enough to take advantage of their lack of health.

I'm far from a believer. I never caught Covid as far as I know and only wore a mask when forced to, but my wife, brother in law and sister in law all three had it. Brother in law was over it in a few days. My wife struggled with it for weeks. BTW, my wife is 53 (no pics) and walks 3-5 miles daily on our treadmill. It kicked her arse unlike any flu she's ever had.

My sister in law was in the hospital for over 30 days and almost died according to her Doctor.

So try and be a little more open minded about the experience other folks have had. It'll help you lead a better life.

Joe Biden...oh wait I misread your post. I thought it said do I know anyone that will die of the China Virus. It's taking longer than expected cuz the double masking
