Cooking the Books on Covid-19?

[Gandalf]

Now if your'e very poor argument in your own mind is that only flat-out DEAD BODIES are what counts, you are dismissed all other forms of destruction out their for the little ones. What's acceptable number of dead, sick/permanently maimed or organ failures to you? Are you gonna hide behind words like it's so rare that it doesn't even matter? Because you hide behind words to minimise the destruction of it. It's bad enough if even one single human dies of it. Weather its a infant, a toddler, a baby, a kindergartener, a elemntary schooler, middle schooler, high schooler, college student. Are you really gonna sit their and nit-pick the age groups to try to minimise the destruction of it all? What are uyou gonna gain from that? What are you trying to say? It's all bullshit, like TIC and others?

One very early study, published online March 16 in the journal Pediatrics, was the largest to examine the severity of COVID-19 in children. The researchers analyzed information from more than 2,800 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in children that were reported to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention between Jan. 16 and Feb. 8. As with previous reports, the new study found that the majority of cases — more than 88% — were mild or moderate. Among these cases, children experienced symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing and sometimes pneumonia.

But around 12% of children developed very severe or critical illness, with symptoms such as shortness of breath and hypoxia, or lethally low levels of oxygen in body tissues. (For comparison, a separate study that analyzed 44,672 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in adults in China found that around 18.5% were severe or critical.)

In 3% of cases, children developed acute respiratory distress syndrome, a life-threatening condition that prevents oxygen from getting to the lungs and in turn, into the bloodstream. Two 14-year-old boys from The Bronx and a 12 year-old girl from Brooklyn with confirmed COVID-19 died from the disease on March 6, according to The New York Times.

"What this [study] tells us is that hospitals should prepare for a significant number of pediatric patients because we don't rule out children," Dr. Srinivas Murthy, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of British Columbia, who was not involved with the study, told the Times.

In this study, infants and very young children were particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. Of the 425 children who developed severe illness, more than 60% were age 5 or younger, the Times reported.

Darling, you have been mostly talking about America as America is your obsession and have only just now pivoted global. So, yes I would agree that hundreds of thousands of failed organs would be tragic and must be avoided, but it hasn't happened has it? Be honest about who you are, about what you are saying, and about what you really think.

Where are the hundreds of thousands of people who developed permanent damage? This is a small study. Surely we would be hearing about the hundreds of thousands of the 1.5 million who have failed livers, kidneys, and hearts.

I am sure there is damage for some and it is horrible, but when you make wild statements, then you have to back them up. Prove what you are saying. I get criticized for talking about IQ but I can back up everything with hundreds of studies. It is on you to prove what you say.

If many have had it and not even been tested, then the proportion is even tinier. You do not shut everything down because of fear. Getting very sick does not mean permanent damage or no recovery. Even a stroke victim can make a great recovery depending on the stroke. Same with cancer. Same with heart disease. My grandfather had one decades ago and is still going. Bodies often heal and recover from terrible things incredibly.

Sweden is doing the logical thing in letting it spread controlled through society. The young are the most resilient. Not babies of course, but young as in those with developed immune system and powers of recovery. It is why the elderly fatality rates are so high. Old people can be knocked out by things very easily. Keeping everyone in and depriving them of Vitamin D is insanity really. You cannot have a healthy immune system without Vitamin D and to even absorb that vitamin D you need a healthy symbiosis of other vitamins and minerals. Basics.

Don't be fat, eat healthily, and do not live in fear. Most will be fine.
