    Yeah these people don't believe in science or facts, much less common sense. Worldwide over 200 million people have gotten covid and over 4 million have died. In the U.S. 37 million have gotten it and over 634,000 have died. But I bet they don't believe those numbers.

    I don't know about that Delta being a killer - it seems like highly contagious weak sauce. It takes your sense of taste and can give you pneumonia if treatment is delayed by all the false negatives you get but that's about it. All that means is I can eat more Brussels sprouts and I am not tempted by sweets. I can still taste hot sauce though, both habanera and (of course) Carolina reaper. Haven't tried anything too sour yet - I'll have to find something. But a sweet cookie tastes like nothing at all. Of course, you have to find a doctor who is going to prescribe the right meds - and a pharmacy that will let you have the right meds. I imagine that's why certain populations are suffering more than others. And you should get an oximeter to make sure your oxygen is 94 or above. That's just for middle aged and older folks - kids shrug it off in a day. And it goes through the much-vaunted vaccine like it doesn't even exist. So if you think you are vaccinated and safe - think again. It's coming.

    Since early July, 18-24 year old's make up the highest rate of new cases in North Carolina, followed by 25-49 year old's. After them, are children younger than 18 years old. More than 94% of recent cases statewide occur in people who are not vaccinated. Florida's suffered over 40,000 deaths.

    Spreading fact-free ignorant bullshit like yours is actually killing people, including children.

    Talk
    Talk about disrespect to the 625,000 people who have already died, their families and the thousands more now in the hospital. It is this kind of nonsense thinking that has created the current crisis….a crisis that is snatching defeat from the cusp of victory.

    I believe it. The stuff's like wildfire. We all have it here, man - Man, Woman, and all the happy children.



    That's interesting. At our workplace, everybody who has been exposed to it has gotten it - vaccinated or not. Since most everyone was vaccinated, our stats tip in the other direction.



    I don't doubt it. All of my relatives retire to Florida to die. I'm going to retire up North to die, just to break the chain.

    You used to write for Hallmark cards, didn't you?

    hmmm possibly suffering from log term cognitive decline due to covid
    The hidden long-term cognitive effects of COVID-19 - Harvard Health
    COVID can cause damage to the brain directly by encephalitis, which may have devastating or subtle consequences. In one British study of 12 patients with encephalitis, one made a full recovery, 10 made a partial recovery, and one died. This study also found that a number of patients with COVID suffered strokes. In fact, COVID infection is a risk factor for strokes. A group of Canadian doctors found that individuals over 70 years of age were at particularly high risk for stroke related to COVID infection, but even young individuals are seven times more likely to have a stroke from this coronavirus versus a typical flu virus.

    Cognitive deficits in people who have recovered from COVID-19 - EClinicalMedicine (thelancet.com)
    People who had recovered from COVID-19, including those no longer reporting symptoms, exhibited significant cognitive deficits versus controls when controlling for age, gender, education level, income, racial-ethnic group, pre-existing medical disorders, tiredness, depression and anxiety. The deficits were of substantial effect size for people who had been hospitalised (N = 192), but also for non-hospitalised cases who had biological confirmation of COVID-19 infection (N = 326). Analysing markers of premorbid intelligence did not support these differences being present prior to infection. Finer grained analysis of performance across sub-tests supported the hypothesis that COVID-19 has a multi-domain impact on human cognition.

    I agree with him, except that with the Delta variant some children who are too young to get vaccinated are getting sick and going to the hospital. We need to make the shots available to all age groups now, but I've heard it could be a couple months yet before kids under 12 become eligible.
