Representative indicator of why deaths should not be the only metric considered. If people think our health system is morally and financially bankrupt now, what you don’t want is a myriad of people with new chronic health problems.

This makes sense. I’m close to that age range. My resting, average, and max heart rates were off 60 days after COVID recovery. Took about 90 days to normalize. Blowing up PR’s now though, so was fairly short lived.

And yet you want to listen to a doctor in a video who says having sex with demons makes you sick sharing her anecdotal evidence about HCQ. You’ll listen to who you want to listen to, as will everyone else, that’s kind of the whole point. Once things get politicized, there’s no going back. And that’s not picking on you, that’s just how it is now.

Exactly. I tried to make that point a while back. 4 million cases even if the percentage is low it's multiplied by the shear numbers. It's out of any control now. It's a mess. How many will have there lives effected?

THE SEASONAL FLU HOSPITALIZES FAR MORE SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN THAN COVID-19
by Kevin Ryan

During the 2018-19 flu season, 21,012 of the 53.6 million children aged 5-17 in the United States required hospitalization because of the flu. That equates to a hospitalization rate of 39.2 per 100,000.

COVID-19, meanwhile, has resulted in the hospitalization of 5.8 per 100,000 children aged 5-17.

The flu also results in far more deaths in the 5 to 17 age bracket than COVID-19. Approximately 0.4 out of every 100,000 children aged 5 to 17 died of the flu during the 2018-19 flu season, four times higher than for COVID.

None of which is to minimize death and illness, but instead to show that we’ve been sending our children to school (and sports, and birthday parties, and to friend’s houses) every year despite the risk of infectious disease (and vehicle accidents, and sports injuries, and other small-risk but highly publicized dangers)…

…not because we are careless about our children’s health, but because we recognize that life is full of risks that have to be balanced against the downside of not engaging in education and social activities.

Of course people will say that it’s not the kids we’re protecting by keeping schools closed, it’s the teachers. But again, the hospitalization and death rates for young and middle-aged teachers is much lower than for the elderly, and not much worse than for the flu.

According to the CDC, mortality rate for the flu is 1.8 per 100,000 people age 18-49 (the CDC doesn’t break out the flu rates into smaller age segments, so exact comparisons to COVID are not possible). For COVID, it’s 0.4 for ages 15-24, 2.0 for ages 25-34, 5.7 for ages 35-44. For the flu, the mortality rate is 9.0 for ages 50-64, while for COVID, it’s 16.2 for age 45-54.

So your "new chronic health problem", as Bucklion would put it, took about 2-3 months to fully recover, i.e., not a "chronic" problem...in fact, you're stronger post-COVID than pre-COVID not long after having COVID.

Well there’s one person that (hopefully and apparently) doesn’t have one. Clearly that means everything is fine with every person.
