Oh, I think the number of cases is much higher than what is reported. The article hints at that with people coming in for one thing and then testing positive for covid. What this means, is that covid likely has a lower mortality rate than has been reported. Of course, it is also highly contagious so more are getting it than anything I have seen in my lifetime.
Omicron has a very high asymptomatic rate, where people feel fine, or maybe they have very minor symptoms. These people, unknowingly infected, are out in public, feeling fine, spreading the virus, while making their routine doctor's appointments and testing positive. Or not being infected until they enter the crowded hospital, where they encounter the virus, and testing positive.
Okay, I'll try to work with you here......how is making a joke about the origin of COVID "being a bully" or "picking on people"?
Millions across the globe are dead as a direct result of Chinese incompetence....but a light hearted joke about that is "being a bully"?
Seriously?
Look, I know that cognitive bias is a thing, and you can't possibly be expected to see anything beyond who made the statement....but try to kiddo.
I was by no means a fan of the person who said it, but I didn't let my personal feelings about the person determine how I felt about the statement as you have.
It's okay though, I accept your cognitive limitations, so we can just move on.
No, it's true. He didn't bully a disabled person. Just gonna leave this here.
In 2020, when you read/heard on the news that this and that and that other number of people died from Covid-19, what were you told?
1. They died because Covid-19 killed them, OR
2. They died because they had co-morbidities and Covid-19 pushed them over the edge and they died
If you say 2, you're not being honest. America was told throughout 2020 that those high numbers of people, to the extent tv commercials accusing President Trump of being responsible for 500,000 Covid-19 deaths, died FROM Covid-19... not from co-morbidities.
The "COVID hospitalizations" aren't the number of people in the hospital due to having COVID, they are simply the number of people who are in the hospital that have it. You go to the hospital for a broken leg, they do a COVID test that comes back positive, you are a COVID hospitalization.
They've been doing that from the start because the hospital gets paid per "COVID hospitalization"....it's basically fraud, but they've been getting away with it for years now.
Also, every time someone goes to the ER in a panic over having a case of the sniffles that they are certain is going to kill them because they bought in to the far left narrative about COVID, it counts as a "COVID hospitalization".....as they immediately send that person home.
Those people want to assume the worst, it's why they treat everyone like a 70 year old lung cancer patient, and assume everyone who tests positive checked into the hospital because they are deathly ill, with the omicron sniffles.
The Spanish Flu had a significantly higher case fatality rate than COVID ever did and the Spanish Flu killed the young, whereas COVID doesn't and never did.
Comparing COVID to the Spanish flu is like comparing a splinter to getting stabbed.
Thought it was quite clear that people with comorbidities are more likely become very ill or die if they contract COVID…
Throughout 2020, as news daily told the American public of how many people died from Covid-19, were you told Covid-19 killed them or were you told they had co-morbidities and Covid-19 was the final blow which their bodies couldn't take and they then died?
LOL, so now you are screeching about an unrelated comment since you can't defend your original BS?
Seriously, seek help. The orange man is gone, show me on the doll where he touched you.
