I know 12 people who tested positive and therefore deemed to have had the ‘rona. 4 were over 55 and the rest were younger with the youngest being 16. Most had flu bug type symptoms, all tested positive, one was asymptomatic, one had asthma, and all of them recovered without meds. I must add that 2 others, outside of the 12, that I didn’t know but heard we’re a over 80, In a nursing home, and died from complications maybe caused by the ‘rona.
My spouse and I both tested positive. We didn’t have a hard time with it. But we know 3 other people who were our age who also tested positive and all had to be hospitalized. One was on a ventilator for 2 weeks. All of us are in our 40s with no serious underlying issues except perhaps a little overweight for our hight (less than 25 pounds overweight for our hight).

Here’s the issue
The black community in Louisiana and elsewhere got hit hard because of the obesity and diabetes issue
Black CFB players probably know someone who has died from this and they irrationally infer it could happen to them
Very misleading. And again faulting the victim. There are numerous other factors that are in play here.
From the CDC:
Non-Hispanic blacks (49.6%) had the highest age-adjusted prevalence of obesity, followed by Hispanics (44.8%), non-Hispanic whites (42.2%) and non-Hispanic Asians (17.4%)
The prevalence of hypertension was 45.7% among non-Hispanic whites, 59.0% among non-Hispanic blacks, 46.1% among Mexican-Americans, 45.2% among other races/ethnicities, and 46.9% among overall population.
Yet non-hispanic blacks are 2.6 times as likely to get Covid 19 and 2.1 time as likely to die from it.
Race and ethnicity are risk markers for other underlying conditions that impact health — including socioeconomic status, access to health care, and increased exposure to the virus due to occupation (e.g., frontline, essential, and critical infrastructure workers).

it is true..
Take all the people out of the death toll that died from things with covid that wasnt cause by it (cancer, High blood pressure, Diabetes, etc) its about 50,000 deaths this includes the 10,000 deaths that are solely from COVID and this includes the people that died from other things likly caused by covid (Pneumonia, upper resp infections etc)
once you look at it like this....sounds like a normal flu season to me

I tested positive for it personally a cold was worse!
I bet you would be singing a different tune if it had put you on a ventilator

The point is he, and the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of covid cases ARE NOT put on a ventilator and FULLY recover. Doctors claim that we actually have 10x as many cases than have been reported. All those people recovered without going to the doctor. They either got over it, or didn't even know they had it. Yes, it does kill a SMALL percentage of the people that get it. So do other diseases. Stop buying into the hype.

Don't tell me what to do

This shite again

Keep buying the hype. Now, either way you're doing what I tell you to do.
The virus has killed people, like other illnesses do. The OVERREACTION to this virus has been the biggest hoax ever pulled on our country. History will prove me right on this.
