COVID-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)

[Pimp]

All the overweight people are getting hit hard

Have you seen the average American? Damn near everyone is overweight.

It's amazing how Reggie Wright survived after 6 months in the hospital with tubes feeding him. It aint over til its over but get vaccinated or take this chance with the Thanos snap.. Random selection..

Israel can’t get out of their own way in their messaging and presentation of data. Absolute bunk. The messaging makes it sound like the vax is failing. It’s doing anything but

guess which group in Israel is acting most like evangelical christians in the US and is not getting vaxxed like the rest of the population

Spoiler

If you're visibly 50 to 75 pounds overweight but you havent been to the doctor in 5 years, that doesnt mean you don't have any medical problems
Its been 18 months, with minimal effort everyone could have lost at least 30 pounds

Nearly 80% of those being hospitalized with covid are obese. Which means America does have a pandemic but it's not covid it's obesity.

Are any of these folks Coli posters

It took you this long to figure it out.

If you have a preexisting condition it can do serious damage to you (obese, hyper tension, diabetic, etc) Those states that have populations with these conditions in high numbers are getting hit the hardest. Those people should consider getting vaccinated or do everything possible to avoid it (mask, social distancing, etc.)

New Zealand has only about 20% of the population vaccinated (no mandates) They shut everything down and focused on testing and quarantining the sick. They are pretty much back to normal.

You are not going to convince everyone to get the vaccine, so see if they are willing to do everything else like wear mask and get tested.

New Zealand also had 4 lockdowns over a handful of positive tests. Things haven't really been normal there since the beginning. It's also an isolated tiny island. As for preexisting conditions, many of Americans especially lower income folks are in poor health to begin with so maybe that's why you guys have a higher rate of infection and hospitalizations.

people keep underestimating this virus.

And overestimating that they will not likely be exposed to the virus or if they do get exposed that it will be mild.

It only takes a couple of seconds to be exposed. Just like with a cold or the flu. It is virus. It only takes a couple of seconds of exposure. The thing about COVID is that nobody knows how their body will react once exposed to the virus.

I've seen those who don't want to take it simply because of the time table - most of our other shots have been around longer, so we have a better deal about long term side effects. This one was made in a year, and the companies can't be held liable. So I get those arguments.

But the other theories or worries don't make sense.

That is uninformed and it shows that people have been subjected to misinformation.

Scientist in the USA had been working on a vaccine for Corona virus for decades. So they have always known about the virus and they had been working on a vaccination for it.

Depressing thinking about families having to bury an only child, all of that nurturing, building them up, investing in them all leading to this

So you're saying it was the parents fault for raising their child to be a dumbass?

 

[HoldThisL]

U can do everything right and still get it

I get what you saying, but I'm not around people to worry like that. I'm at home all day by myself. I wear my mask & social distance for groceries which is hardly since I do one big shopping or I order my food online. I disinfect my house too. I follow strict guidelines for myself and it has been working. I'm basically isolating myself from society.
I'm only gonna take the vaccine if I have to go in person for work again and have to deal with people.

what are the numbers in those countries. both countries have shytty living conditions to begin with.

The thing is, im sure before her daughter got infected she read dozens if not hundreds of antivaxxers who got sick and had a change of thought, and pleaded with people to do the shot...and she didnt

Just like antivaxxers will read her plea...and ignore it

You cant convince these stubborn people unless it effects them on a personal level..and even if it does effect someone they love, many still wont get the shot

It aint easy umbrainwashing a cult
