It's a potentially nasty piece of work... not just if you catch it and die, but also if you happen to be one of the unlucky or vulnerable or whatever ones who ends up with any number of long lingering post-illness disabilities.

Exactly. I can't quite believe the blasé attitude some folks are taking to this pandemic given so much is still unknown.

 

It's the 'unlucky' aspect of this pandemic that we should all be concerned about, if you have any care at all about your long-term health

Please tell the Chinese to stop eating bats, dogs, etc. and learn some basic hygiene practices so the world can stem the tide of these viruses

[spidermike007]

What some of these rather narrow minded people DO NOT seem to understand is the multitude of things that can be done to strengthen the immune system and prevent the contagion. Nobody is talking about prevention, through diet, and avoiding processed foods, sugar, fast food or other things that weaken the body.

 

Why are Americans getting infected at such high rates and why does the nation have a morbidity rate of over 5%? Americans are by and large very unhealthy people. Many gorge on fast food, fried food and incredibly toxic diets. Combine that with pre existing daibetes, heart disease, morbid obesity and many other factors, and you have a perfect storm that we are now witnessing.

"Ferocious rampage through body, brain, toes. . . " 

 

If cool, dispassionate scientific analysis like this doesn't get us all begging for our mandatory COVID shots I can't imagine what would.

Putting aside conspiracies, we can be sure of one thing, it’s not as many claimed, a flu.

yes, looks to be about 10x more lethal than a flu.. 

[VocalNeal]

There's money in this. They want to keep it going for as long as possible? 

 

But 7 days for every one is hospital sound legit. I was once told "If you can walk out of the hospital you will be running again in 6 weeks". "If you can't walk out then 6 weeks to walk and another 6 weeks to run" So I walked out . Just.

While comparisons between COVID 19 and flu are heresy to some, there are striking similarities not only in their common symptoms but also in the hidden collateral damage both are capable of causing.

 

A number of very serious conditions can piggyback on seasonal flu and the corona viruses which spread the common cold. The health problems they cause can linger long after the initial infection has passed.

 

The list run from potentially fatal viral or bacterial pneumonia and includes also some of the same conditions now being attributed to COVID 19 - ranging from temporary loss and smell of taste to inflammation of the brain, heart and liver.

 

Could it be that the coronavirus responsible for the current panicdemic is not really as "novel" as the "experts" would have us believe?

Not nearly the range of symptoms caused by Covid. And flus have been with us for a much longer time. Give covid a few years and I bet there be even more Covid symptoms tabulated.

You're right.

 

The more symptoms that can be dreamed up, the more we'll be scared into believing the only escape from endless "new waves" is a dodgy vaccine - rushed to market without sufficient safety testing by drug companies indemnified against any claims for resultant damage.

 

So roll over, everybody, and get ready to roll up your sleeve for those mandatory shots. OMDB.

You know smart people who say there is no HIV virus, you know that the medical community will be dreaming up symptoms and that vaccinations will be mandatory. Enough said.

1. He didn’t call the virus a “severe seasonal influenza”. 
 

 

According to this article from the New England Medical Journal he (Fauci), along with two of his peers did indeed say "....the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza....."

In other words he didn't call the virus a "severe seasonal influenza." He said the clinical consequences "may" be more akin...

What does the use of "may" tell you? Does it indicate certitude?

Exactly. He didn’t say Covid is “a severe seasonal influenza” as the other poster suggested. He was talking about the “clinical consequences” which 2-3 months ago obviously were less known and understood than they are now, and he even indicated that by saying they “may” be more akin to those of a severe influenza — aka we are not sure yet.

1. He didn’t call the virus a “severe seasonal influenza”. 
 

2. What’s the point bringing up an article that was written before doctors learned about the damage the virus can do? Don’t the doctors clearly say that “We thought this was only a respiratory virus. Turns out, it goes after (...)”?

1. I didn‘t claim he did. However he used the term „severe seasonal influenza“ when discussing Covid 19, and not „just a flu“, as the poster I replied to.

 

2. As you could have easily guessed by the prefix „Source“ in front of the link the NEJM article was the source of the „severe seasonal influenza“ quote.
 

If you however agree with the „just a flu“ quote I replied to, that‘s ok, fine, but don‘t start bickering about me showing the source for a Fauci quote.

Is it the "unlucky" or is it the unhealthy with lowered immune systems, diabetes, obesity, vitamin d deficient, along with other comorbidity factors?  

 

Sure, nothing you can do about being old, but you sure can boost your immune system, get off the sugar and lead a healthier life.

"May", means he has no idea and he just may change his mind, just like he did about the wearing of masks ( or was that a blatant lie to ensure medical staff had enough masks?)

I think „may“ here is just the normal way scientists word their opinions in such studies. Every good scientist knows that what he thinks today being a „law of nature“ can be replaced tomorrow by a better explanation. 
 

Laypersons easily make the mistake to Interpret such a „may“ as insecurity, while it is merely acknowledging that It is the current understanding at the time of writing, and can change with new knowledge and data.

So on the 28th Feb Dr Fauci states:

 

"This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza"

 

This article was published on the 28th Feb. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387

 

The on the 11th March, Dr Fauci states: 

 

"Fauci said COVID-19 is at least 10 times “more lethal” than the seasonal flu." This was on 11th March, he obviously changed his mind.

Yes. He changed his mind because of the accumulation of evidence that wearing a mask is a very powerful way not to contract covid. There's nothing wrong with changing your mind in the face of new evidence. In fact, what's wrong is not changing it.
