it’s then a matter of what risks people want to take for their own personal health.
What state has the most old people? Is it Florida? How come Florida is open and no one's crying and dying like it's a pandemic?
If there are multiple strains, mabey its different here in the Northeast compared to what you have out in Cali. Or wherever you're from.

Maybe. But is that reason to shut down the world?
They should have let it rage, run through everyone, kill of the already nearly dead, and have been done with itLike it did in 1918, which shortened World War I from which it originated no doubt.

I've belived since spring that there are two strains of this thing. One mild, the other aggressive.
As for comobidities, yeah they were involved in the person that passed, but the covid put them "over the top" so to speak. No doubt about it.
Let's face it most of techincally have at least one comorbidity be it age, asthma, high blood pressure, weight, diabetes, whatever. Stuff that under normal conditions can be managed. Were not exactly a flock of 20 somethings....
My family has practiced preventive health for 10 years.
We're just providing evidence that classifying this as a pandemic seems overblown, if not outright fraud. It's the approach that's the issue, not the disease.
I also drives me nuts that people continuously conflate CASE fatality rate with INFECTION fatality rate.
The CASE fatality rate is the rate of death among people who present themselves for treatment, about 1.4%. They are usually seriously ill.
The INFECTION fatality rate is only 0.3% because the majority of infected people never get sick enough to see a doctor, or even to know that they were sick at all.
It's important that people know that even if everyone in the US were infected, nowhere near 4.3 million would die!
It would be more like 330,000,000 x 0.003 = 990,000
This is a 4.6x difference.
Two people (40's) I know indirectly died but they were obese.
I know exactly one.
Unpleasantly ill for a week, sought medical advice only because he has a heart condition and was worried based on a year of non-stop media fear porn. No residual problems.
Speaking of which, Post Viral Syndrome was not something talked about much before Covid but lingering effects, due largely to the inflammatory response I believe, from the Flu and other viruses was common. This could include increased risk for heart attack/stroke, secondary infections, and fatigue syndromes like Guillain Barre.
I have a pal that had the flu in the 80’s and complains that he has never felt completely recovered.
If hospitals are slammed then I think we have to lock down.
Another New Covid-19 Variant Discovered In L.A. Might Be Vaccine Resistant
Dr. Charles Chiu, a virologist and professor of laboratory medicine at UCSF who, in concert with state authorities, has been genetically sequencing test samples to identify new variants said early indications are the L452R might be less susceptible to the currently approved vaccines, but more investigation is needed.

Lots of people think they must have had it, but not even any of them were seriously ill, much less in the hospital.
