RE: Media Freaking Out Over More COVID Cases, Yet 80-90% Drop in Deaths from April High

in Deep Dives4 years ago

Like the flu in some ways, but not completely. It's a bit more deadly (even with worldwide lockdown we've lost about as many people as from a bad flu). It's also more contagious than the flu (very hard to avoid getting it). There are also complications like permanent damage to organs, but more research is needed on that. But yeah I agree with where you're going with that.

Agree with you completely here. Bottom line is much more research needs to be done on the long term effects of the virus and to jump to conclusions one way or another can be very harmful.

Still around 4.7k deaths every day worldwide. That isn't coming down at the moment and we might not of seen the full impact of easing lock downs yet. When this Covid-19 outbreak is over, it will look far worse than the flu. There's obviously still a long way to go.

Yeah, years of it! But still a long way for the flu to go, too.

If you look at when COVID was first detected, and when it first started to climb fast weeks later, you should also look at when the "life-saving" lockdowns were put in place (the quick climb started when the lockdown went into effect)
