No I’m not saying that.

But all this creating 10 threads a day on Covid and spending countless hours debating Covid when the vast majority of the world are moving on, living life and not thinking about it makes it redundant.

As for ICU numbers I’ve seen posts by medical professionals says they were told they can’t publicly release information on why those numbers are the way they are.

The hospitals are admitting patients who test positive for Covid into the ICU unit even if they have little to no symptoms thus inflating the ICU numbers.

Also according to John Hopkins this virus has a 1.7% mortality rate so :manny::yeshrug:


Well do you automatically believe everything you read on social media? Were the posts by "PatriotDoc!" and "MAGAnurseMAGA"?

And those claims don't pass the smell test at all. The daily # of cases is way higher than the daily # of hospitalizations and most of the hospitalized aren't in ICUs. It's completely impossible that they're just putting any Covid-positive case in an ICU, they don't have nearly the capacity. Not to mention that putting an asymptomatic person in the ICU would be total medical malpractice and no one should be expected to believe that.

Read the links. You seriously want us to believe they canceling cancer treatments, shipping patients from Louisiana to Texas and from Arkansas to Indiana just to make room for perfectly fine asymptomatic people? You want us to believe that these hardcore RIGHT-WING governors in southern states are declaring states of emergency and requesting field hospitals just so they can participate in some sort of hoax?

I ain’t no expert so I’m not gonna debate you. But according to John Hopkins this thing is a 1.7% mortality rate should you contract covid-19.

What appears to be the main issue is hospitals being over capacity. And I’m not telling people not to get vaxxed, never once said that.

That's a really fukking high mortality rate for something infecting tens of millions of Americans. It's a higher mortality rate than anything that has ever swept through this country in any of our lifetimes outside of AIDS, and AIDS wasn't contagious in the air nor did it affect nearly as many people.

A fully vaccinated Southwest Airlines flight attendant has died from COVID-19 nearly two months after he tested positive following a work trip to Hawaii.

Maurice 'Reggie' Shepperson, 36, who was based in Las Vegas, died at Henderson Hospital on Tuesday after spending weeks on a ventilator.

He had checked into the hospital on July 7, weeks after testing positive following his trip to Hawaii in early June.

Shepperson's mother said her son had taken every precaution against the virus, including getting fully vaccinated, wearing a mask, washing his hands frequently and sanitizing surfaces.

He is among a very small fraction of Americans who have died after suffering 'breakthrough' coronavirus infections after vaccination.

Shepperson had been a flight attendant since 2007 and has worked for Southwest for nine years.

Dubbed 'high flyer' by his co-workers, Shepperson was known to pick up more work trips than any other flight attendant, both for the money and the ability to travel to new places.

A flight attendant from his training class Kiki Lee told USA Today: 'He was hitting the skies right way, using his benefits. He loved working, and he loved the perks.'

One of Shepperson's first trips was to China, shortly after graduating from flight school.

. It’s a cure? I don’t think it is.


I’m fully vaxxed. I still mask up everywhere and avoid places with a bunch of people when I can. Covid is still running rampant. I don’t see myself taking another cruise for a long time
yea that hurt my feelings when this all started cuz I was prepped to go on a couple different cruises and thats not happening for some years now:mjcry:

These anti-whatever idiots love to bring up the low mortality rate but never mention the "long-covid" symptoms that around 25% of survivors continue to deal with after the virus is long gone.
