From Feb 2020 IIRC
This doesnt refute anything I stated. In fact it just confirms. For the vast majority of americans that catch the virus it will play out no differently than the flu. You're chart proves my point. :yeshrug:

Just admit youre enjoying this. Seems like any positive news or trend is met with "well that 2nd wave will surely show them." I feel like too many people are rooting for this shyt to get worse and worse and putting all sorts of bad energy out there.

Lot of these nikkas are losers who never leave the house, they are excited that everyone else is stuck in the house doing nothing just like them

It does seem like the positive news is never accepted well.

You said average now you say majority.

Look I'm not on no conspiracy shyt. Im not claiming the virus is a hoax or downplaying how contagious it is. I'm simply saying that for the average american, catching this virus wont play out much differently than catching the flu. If that. If you have some facts to indicate otherwise, I'm all ears.

The chart says that once you catch it you are as a minimum twice as likely to die from it irrespective of your age.

As for average do you know what the average age / health profile is of Americans? Average age of Americans is 38.1 years old. Add in obesity and that's around half in at least the 40 age + profile risk level which is 4 times the flu as a minimum. (Co-morbidities increase odds by 80% - google).

Then you have long-term damage to lungs in the recovered and the asymptomatic.

From University of Minnesota
Studies profile lung changes in asymptomatic COVID-19, viral loads in patient samples

In new research developments, a team from Wuhan, China, reports that even asymptomatic patients with COVID-19 pneumonia have abnormal lung findings on computed tomography (CT), and a group from Beijing noted that viral loads from infected patients appear to peak 5 to 6 days after symptom onset.
Studies profile lung changes in asymptomatic COVID-19, viral loads in patient samples

From The Lancet
COVID-19 pneumonia manifests with chest CT imaging abnormalities, even in asymptomatic patients
, with rapid evolution from focal unilateral to diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacities that progressed to or co-existed with consolidations within 1–3 weeks. Combining assessment of imaging features with clinical and laboratory findings could facilitate early diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia.

Even Maldini said this today two weeks after recovery

Coronavirus infection may cause lasting damage throughout the body, doctors fear

So then you have

High risk open questions and unknowns..

1. reinfection / immunity storm topics - attrition of repeated infection
2. long term damage - esp. for asymptomatic carriers
3. other organ damage + transmission vectors (blood?)

Then you have

Asymptomatic and recovered patients have exhibited organ (lungs in particular) damage. This would make they less likely to handle a successive infection.
Here from Colombia Uni virologist Angela Rasmussen, PhD (Angela Rasmussen, PhD | Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health) about long-term damage for asymptomatic / mild cases of covid19.

ts 46m36s "If you have Pulmonary Fibrosis [which covi19 can cause in mild / recovered cases] it is not a condition that just clears up, that will be a chronic condition that you will be living with for the rest of your life" - said within the context starting at ts 44m.



Someone else provided links to ~7 videos. Are you actually going to watch them. Are you actually going to refute my points one by one?

I doubt it.

For the record - roughly

80% are generally asymptomatic
14% need some medical attention
4% need hospitalization
1% die

So

Potentially 80% lung damage
Potentially 4% or more organ damage - including heart, kidney, lungs
1% dead with a working medical system. More without.

Is NOT the same as the flu where 0.1% die.


Yes there are many open questions but so far the picture looks like I spelled out and it is far from being what happens during the flu.

Did you actually watch the videos that someone else posted. I am guessing not and that is why people don't want to waste their time on you.

People do NOT want to do your heavy intellectual lifting for you and the rest of the parrots.

And even though these points have been detailed on here over and over and over again you can bet your bottom dollar that someone else is going to come in here parroting the same nonsense before long.

EDIT: correction 0.1%

And yet the virus is having starkly different effects on different groups of people.

One of the most pronounced divides to emerge regards gender. And how Covid-19 is affecting men and women differently isn’t just in the way that the virus is making us sick – it’s also in our long-term health and economic prospects.

Disease differences

One of the most striking differences that has emerged so far is in the death rates of men and women.

In the US, for example, twice as many men have been dying from the virus as women. Similarly, 69% of all coronavirus deaths across Western Europe have been male. Similar patterns have been seen in China and elsewhere.

One team of researchers, led by Anna Purdie at University College London, is charting the gender differences in various countries and working to find out more about why.

Didn't read but I'm going to guess Smoking and Cardiovascular health play a big part in this, again stop smoking bruhs
