95% of European Covid-19 deaths are people over 60

And older folks bring lots of value to our societies of wisdom, lost history, care for young ones, values, family heritage. And we should not be sacrificing them so that our porfolios and bank accounts will look better, right?

And even if you are under 60 and get coronavirus, the hospitalization and ICU rate is still significant even if the chances of dying are low,

Severe Outcomes Among Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19

 

I should think that the American statistics will be very much like the European statistics of 95% over 60.

Biden is in such poor shape mentally that you have to feel sorry for him. He has had a face lift, hair plugs, and gotten a new set of dentures, but they have forgotten to download the app to tell him where he is and what day of the week it is.

 

Yeah, let 'em all die, I say!
On the other hand, perhaps not; I'm one of them.

 

Mostly those over 60!

 

The thing is, that it is taking out people with a reduced autoimmune system or as they call it 'compromised', and if you check the label on the drugs they are passing out lately for a lot of the medical issues, such as transplants, arthritis, diabetes, etc., it tells you it does exactly that. So that is what is accounting for many of those dying, especially those that leave the doctors scratching their heads. They come in, with a slight cough or sniffle, and die that night or next day. Its my hunch they were on these types of drugs...

The "uncompromised', mostly the young or those in good health with little history of use of medicines, leave the hospital just slightly worse for wear as they say, a few days later..

 

Yes. The virus is not very deadly and for a large majority people (80% of confirmed cases and more when you count undetected asymptomatic cases) they get mild to moderate symptoms and do not need hospitalization. However it is very infectious causing exponential spread and has a reasonably high complication rate for young and older people leading to hospitalization (20%) and ICU (5%). For comparison influenza has a hospitalization rate of around 1% and a death rate of around 0.1%.

Even in hospital, most people survive and if your hospital system is not overrun, 99% of confirmed cases survive with most deaths occurring in the elderly and people with preexisting conditions.

The problem happens when exponential spread of the virus leads to so many cases coming into hospital that the system becomes overwhelmed which happened in Wuhan, Italy, Spain and now the US. That is when lots more people die because hospitals can no longer deliver basic care due to patient load.

 

But what did they practice for and prepare for all these years... If this is the new normal, only the young and 'uncompromised' by these drugs will be alive.....Hmm.

 

But if these drugs are 'tinkering' with the immune system, it might be causing the over 'reaction'.

 

I don’t understand what those sentences are asking. Who practiced and prepared for what? What drugs for whom? What new normal?

I don’t mind answering your questions but you need some context to what you are taking about.

 

Which drugs are you talking about?

ARDS or acute respiratory distress syndrome happens when lung infections progress to a certain stage and occurs regardless of what drugs have been used.

50% with no symptoms says nothing about how deadly a disease might be.
It does cause us to be concerned however when we realize that a large number of asymptomatic people can spread the disease without even realizing it.

The knowledge of low lethality (although still higher than influenza) is something I have been saying since the first post I've made on this forum about covid19 about 3 weeks ago. I've been telling people not to panic, but definitely to act because covid 19 is very infectious, causes many hospitalizations and brings health systems to collapse. That is when the deaths happen as we are now witnessing.

Please listen to Trump now

 

No, that doesn't square with what has been reported, what you have posted.

COVID-19 deaths are not happening due to hospital incapacity. Deaths are happening due to already compromised health in those contracting it. In fact, the death rate for these individuals is very high.

Perhaps you were being hyperbolic to scare people into listening to you?

 

I think I rather like this comment, as a large percentage on this board are over 60. However, some of them, maybe most of them, take issue with you. So you may want to rethink your statement, assuming you actually believe it.
