Ivory Soap Covid-19

[granite]

Like Ivory Snow.

It’s one of those stats they don’t list explicitly. You have to use a calculator to subtract “serious/critical” from “active cases”.

Also, the U.S. recovery rate has been increasing (96.04% now, increases by ~0.02% every day). Texas is approaching 750,000 recovered cases.

Define “mild.”

At this point I personally know an increasing number of people who have had it and it was a living hell for them to go through. These were very young and healthy people. One older person I know died.

This is hitting home too much as of late which is why I get very angry with the amazingly stupid posts “this is no worse than the common cold” that some even now are still posting.

I had it and wouldn’t consider the 12 days down with it “mild”, but on the flip side, it wasn’t anywhere near a “death sentence” either. It’s a nasty bug and weird. Some people have no symptoms, others have mild symptoms, while others like me, had it a pretty rough go of it for awhile.
The main thing is I had it, got over it and now carrying on with life.

President Trump took various meds and appears to have had a pretty easy time with COVID. His younger wife the First Lady says she didn’t take anything but vitamins and had a rough couple of days.

IOW experiences vary. The bottom line is that the hospitalization rates do not justify economy- and lives-ruining shutdowns.

[SkyPilot]

No, no, no! It's worse than the Black Plague. We must continue to shut down our entire economy, strip away all Constitutional rights, make little children suffer, and WEAR YOUR SLAVE MASK!

[I want the USA back]

And so 210,000 didn’t die from the disease. That number includes those who had 1 or 2 viruses when they died. Who benefits from the inflated number? Those who planned to blame it on Trump from the start.

Butt butt butt.....death sentence. WTH?

There is a song about 99.44%.

Me and my family came down with it, and like the article, we had mild symptoms.

And 99.44% of the cases that *aren't* mild affect the +70 population,nursing home residents and those with underlying lung diseases or weakened immune systems.

[nevermorelenore]

How are we doing with ventilators..
???

[ETCM]

You are trying to interpret incomplete data. The only data most states and countries report is positive tests and deaths. You realize the same site lists the fatality rate for the USA at 2.7%? Yes, most cases are fairly mild, but clearly nowhere near 99.44%. Unless you consider being “extremely sick but hey, I survived” to be mild.

[maddog55]

MSM: TRUMP LET 00.56% HAVE SEVERE CASES OF COVID-19.

PELOSI: TRUMP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL 99.44% OF MILD CASES AND MUST BE IMPEACHED.

SCHIFF: THIS PROVES RUSSIAN COLLUSION

It is a severe respiratory cold/flu. If you have a weakened immune system, it can complicate into pneumonia, which can lead to death. Otherwise, it’s a cold/flu — you’ll probably get over it.

Don't forget, be sure to wear your mask DURING meals. Only take it down long enough to shovel in the next bite.
