Headlines in the newspaper "WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE......) someday..
Thank you for the sanity break. Everyone needs to take a freeking valium, and stop buying into the blatant media incitement of trying to imagine the scariest worst-case possibilities of everything.
Unless, of course, you want to image a city on fire, without water, and you're trapped in a high-rise building there when an earthquake hits, and as the building is swaying you see a television helicopter outside the window, but before you can be on camera you run to the restroom to brush your teeth, and there are three other people in there BUT THERE ARE ONLY TWO TOOTHBRUSHES!!!!
So I aks ya, WHO gets denied?!! Huh????!!! WHO??????!!!!!!
I have been reading posts her for many years and look at the screen name at the end and say yep that is that posters usual response.
I have just come across your posts here in the last few months maybe more and can say yep thats exactly how I would respond.
Thanks saves me from typing more than I care too at times.
Antibiotics will help with secondary infections of course. But they do nothing to stop the cytokine storms and inflammatory casades which were the major cause of death in 1918 and are killing some, but very few, young people in this pandemic. Anti-virals are somewhat effective but must be taken before or at the time one is infected to be of much use.
The problem would be, should another 1918 strike, the delivery of care. Supply chains snake around the world. There are barely enough mechanical ventilators for a normal flu season. Something big hit and hospitals will be swamped. Already happened in the Southern hemisphere with this flu.
People die if the flu and complications of it every year.....
As they do from skin cancer, falling in the bath tub and heart attacks. Not exactly a reason to shrug it off, is it? This flu is very different. It is hitting younger people and it is killing them.
