The elderly are the ones who need to take their vaccines and every boosters to live in addition to the hundreds of medications they take for other ailmentsDohplaydat wrote:matr1x wrote:Everyone focusing on death from covid.

Severity is far worse. At least when you dead the pain ends. When a virus is severe and cripples you...you will wish you were dead
I personally have seen 3 instances of covid damage:
The first was my dad's coworker, fit heathy guy aged 62, got covid badly, was in Caura, got discharged and 2 weeks later had a severe stroke and later died. I should add he was a very very fit guy, used to run 5kms a couple times a week.
My friends mother, only 58, a bit overweight but no major prior health problems. She got covid pretty bad, but recovered. A month later, she passed out at home. They took her to Medical Associates, checked her bloods realized she had severe diabetes and her kidneys were failing. They tried their best with her but she died a week later.
My aunt, 63 years of age, a cancer survivor, but otherwise good health. She got covid, it was quite bad, she was on ICU and probably one of the few people to survive and recover after ICU. However, since then (April 2020) she has basically been bedridden, saying how she's too tired to do anything. I saw her divali night and she looks like she aged 10 years since covid. I believe it's lung damage she experienced.
So long story short, while the death rate might be around 2%, permanent damage from covid happens to at least 10-15% of persons.
That alone should be scaring people and ensuring many of you get vaccinated. However, somehow the 1 in 100k side severe effect seems like a worse outcome than 1 in 10 lifelong side effects from covid.

However, if you are like me who has not been sick in over 9 years , you exercise and have a proper diet, when I say sick I speak of the common cold then take your time there is a very good chance you will be part of that 97.3 percent who WILL survive
Didn't prevent u from reaching ICU though but okK74T wrote:

if they want to "hrmmm" for a few days before they sequence the sample (and confirm which variant it is), well they can hrmmm away until it is a politically good time to sequence.
maybe.. Rowley has something to announce? lmao. nope. hahahaha
this list got longer over the past few days, way longer today. probably gonna be nice and long AF tomorrow
