So far you've linked a random video on Facebook and the Russia Times. You are brainwashed and you don't even realize it.
Someone makes a video saying their dad went to the hospital for something completely unrelated to covid, dies, and covid is written as the cause of death, and they wont give her an explanation as to why. You didn't even watch the video. You calling me brainwashed is the pot calling the kettle black friend. Willfully ignorant.


Do you know the difference between an anecdote and actual data that can be verified? What you are claiming is conspiratorial, to prove what you claim is happening requires evidence that can be independently verified. A random person on Facebook and a Russian propaganda outlet do not meet that threshold.

A friend of mine from college who thought that Covid was BS lost his police officer cousin to the virus. Now, he's on Facebook begging people to take it seriously. But guess what that's an anecdote, you can't extrapolate that across the US and the world. What you can extrapolate though is that people were dying by the thousands in Italy, Spain, France, etc. before the virus really hit the US. I guess they are all in on the lie too?

The entire world shutdown to fight the spread, but nope Becky on Facebook saying that her Dad did not die from covid proves it's all a massive conspiracy.

Not to mention, the proof that there is already a permanent loss of lung capacity after the first recovery. From what I have seen, the images of the lungs decrease with each recovery.

Meaning a 31 year old athlete (like KD) won't feel the difference in breathing after the first recovery. If he were to catch it again.....and possibly again it would be harder and harder to run up and down the floor.

Viral infections are also one of the key triggers for the onset of type 1 diabetes. It doesn't matter how healthy or young you are. We need to practice good hygiene and do what we can to limit the spread. There are more things to be concerned about beyond mortality.

I am 34 and my lungs and O2 levels are still the same as they were last year. I have COVID 19

Unfortunately, people are catching Covid multiple times. Recovery is great but KD is just as likely to catch it again....and again. I have already come across a patient who caught it three separate times and that patient is a young healthy person otherwise.


really? I thought that's a testing issue more than covid-19 actually infecting someone that has already developed antibodies. your patient must be a really rare case
The antibodies have only shown to last 2-3 months

Glad you are not having any serious issues. Really really glad.

Your experience however is not everyone's experience.

Imagine posting garbage like this after well over 100,000 people have died.

Not saying we should downplay this stuff but I'm pretty sure each year more than that die to common flu. Granted most are old people but a lot of same is here. maybe not as extreme case as with flu.
45k die annually in the US from flu. 100k + have died in a quarter in the US.

Not O2 levels, it doesn't affect the pulse ox. It affects lung capacity which is determined using an algorithm. You say that you currently have Covid? Again, I said it normally happens after the entire progression of the disease. Does that mean it will happen to EVERYONE? No, you could be one of the lucky ones.

As was stated, I am a nurse on a covid unit. I also recovered from Covid once, with a lower lung capacity. I have seen multiple patients and the majority of them show a negative effect upon exam. I don't feel a difference, still run the same amount of miles per day as I usually did with no problem. The problem would be, if I were to catch it again and again to see how that hurts me long term. Hopefully, it doesn't happen.....but it comes with the job.

That's great to hear. Hopefully that will end up being the case for most people

And that's WITH fairly drastic social distancing (which we don't do for the flu)

I'm for whatever gives smaller market teams a fair shot. If a new CBA can address that, that's great.

I doubt it will, but at least a new one can make an opportunity there.

By all means, go right ahead. For better or worse, everybody has had 3+ months of data points, endless tweets, anecdotal experiences, etc where opinions are formed in concrete.

At this point you just have two sides digging their heels in and talking into a wall.

They're certainly scary, but far, FAR from something healthy younger people should expect to experience (or know of anyone around them in this demographic to experience). It will be very interesting after his blood work is finished to (hopefully) identify what it is about his system that failed where the vast majority in his demographic show mild to zero symptoms. It could go a ways to further identify the non-elderly susceptible and how to best treat them.

People seem to have a very hard time grappling with the fact that this is A) a very serious virus that we need to take the necessary precautions to protect against by all reasonable means necessary and B) not allowing it to drive fear into all of society to the point of tens of thousands of businesses being ruined due to irrational mass/blanket shutdowns.

Extraordinary anomalies like this man aside (that you will find with literally all viruses), we have clearly identified the smaller subset of the population that this virus is truly dangerous towards (65+ and immune deficient), and those are the ones that all of our efforts should be focused on taking care of. Luckily, the most prone to serious illness/death are those that are often already out of the workforce and already receiving government aid. We could have saved thousands upon thousands of small businesses (absolutely destroying countless lives... a horrible phenomenon that won't be truly felt in the states until these UI boosts are removed in 3 weeks and peoples savings run dry) and trillions of dollars had we done this 4 months ago (as I have been saying for >4 months).


Yeah that’s worked out great in Texas, Florida and Arizona
:roll:


The ultimate irony is that the people who claim to care about "businesses shutting down" also are those refusing to wear masks.

Wear a damn mask in indoor public spaces and we can keep a lot more businesses open.


Here’s the thing. I’m not some extremist that believes that the world needs to shutdown indefinitely but listen to the science and experts. That’s what New York did and the rest of the sane countries in the world. If every state had taken strict approaches like New York, even if they weren’t as hard hit, they’d be opening up now and probably in a lot of cases even earlier.

But the same idiots that were claiming to open up after a month in lockdown are the same ones saying that places like Florida and Texas going back into lockdown is going to hurt the economy like the spike in coronavirus cases isn’t going to do the same. If these states had just listened in the first place and the Federal government had expanded testing months ago the US would be trending down like the rest of the world instead of going the opposite way. People can’t admit that they’re wrong and instead have to post misinformation or minimize over100000 deaths :noway:

The only way to do it is to create a massive, massive, massive financial incentive for players to stay in those markets. Which is a pipe dream because the Players Association won't agree to it. But I still want to see the battle fought.
