Coronavirus/COVID-19, Thread 3 (Omicron & Delta Variants)

[Captain_Caveman]

51 million covid cases in the US

800k deaths

That’s 1.6 percent chance of dying from covid.

My age group 40-49 is only 3.9 percent of that 800k.

That’s 31200 deaths out of 51 million cases.

That’s strictly the numbers.

Make what you want out of it.

What I take out of it is that ~800k of our most vulnerable citizens have died in about 20 months, and that you don't care about that at all.

I don't need to know anything else about you to say that you are a bad human being based on that alone.

What in the ever loving **** is that supposed to be? I'm in the same age group and without checking those numbers I believe them, but it's not just me me me **** me. If I get sick I can pass it someone who is more at risk or someone who then passes it to someone who is more at risk. I could get really sick and end up hospitalized which is a higher percentage than death. Me taking up valuable hospital resources during a pandemic could cost someone else dearly. I could be part of the unvaccinated who are providing fertile ground for mutation and survive and not be a part of that myopic statistic you put up there. I could do it all while thinking, "I'll most likely be fine so who cares."

Don’t forget that 31200 includes the vaccinated as well. So unvaccinated deaths are even lower.

Are you trying to prove my point? It's working.

I’m just sharing factual data, sorry it upsets you.

[Scarletfire81]

According to the numbers I shared, the US population is 329 million, so I have a 0.01 percent of dying of COVID. That’s 1/100 of 1 percent.

Lol, you don't upset me you sad troll. Honestly you provide a valuable service, when I'm wondering to myself how in the **** are we still in this mess and what kind of mindset has put us here all I have to do is check in and see what you posted. Oh, selfishness and stupidity, that's what's driving it! I forgot.

"Yes but without lifting a finger I will most likely survive" - Anonymous selfish f*ckt*rd.

[Scarletfire81]

I actually found the exact numbers here. It’s 34k deaths ages 40-49, so I was very close. Only 655 deaths ages 0-17. It’s such a small percentage of children that are affected by this. I would like to see the adverse reaction deaths from vaccines next to the actual deaths from COVID.

So apparently heparin (anti-coagulant that has been around for decades) may be an effective preventative treatment as a nasal spray?

Heparin is the second most-widely used drug on earth and is stable at room temperature for more than three months, meaning it can be widely distributed.

Director of the Lung Health Research Centre at the University of Melbourne, Gary Anderson, said the spray would be easy to use — two puffs each nostril, three times a day.

"When [COVID] first gets into the nose it binds to a molecule called heparan and if it mutates that binding site it can't bind," he said.

"Heparin is so close in structure to heparan that it binds on and paralyses the virus, so it stops it infecting and also stops it spreading to others."

Do you have data on what number of dead people it would take before you gave a ****?

I care enough to look at the data and make an educated decision.

You are making a decision to not care that this pandemic will likely kill over a million Americans in two years.

What about the people with adverse reactions to the vaccine? You selfishly do not care about them. So sad.

Indeed, it truly works both ways.

The vaccines are very safe and will probably end up saving over half a million American lives by the end of this.

No, it really doesn't. In fact, you have to be extraordinarily **** stupid to try to create an equivalence there.
