"On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 percent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus, while 88 percent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity - many had two or three," [said an adviser to Italy's minister of health, Professor Walter Ricciardi].

Please note that this is an unconfirmed hypothesis and treat it as such.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

It was like a flu except for the persistent dry cough and a really annoying throat tickle that kept me awake nights. No shortness of breath, though.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostAccording to the Washington Post, US intelligence reports from January and February warned about the coming pandemic based upon what happened in China and what was happening in Italy.
Still pushing PRATTS that have been terminally rebutted and beaten into a fine pink mist?
In an attempt to prevent the panic that was sweeping the nation and being stoked by the MSM. The CDC was also telling folks to stop panicking since it only makes things worse. The problem is that telling folks to stop panicking and that everything will be alright almost never works and may even be counterproductive as well (there are numerous psychological studies on this) and yet we continue to do so.
Numerous experts have opined that this might be like a seasonal flu which abates during warmer weather only to return when it gets cold again. The evidence is still out but it is a fact that the Chicom coronavirus has not been anywhere near as severe in the Southern Hemisphere (look at Africa and South America for instance) which was experiencing summer until a few days ago.
Originally posted by Tassman View PostTrump wasted precocious weeks downplaying the likely pandemic when he should have been preparing for it. And now the US is paying the price.

The loss of appetite was particularly notable, since one of my quirks is that I usually get an increased appetite when I have a cold or flu. I lost 10-15 pounds in six weeks.
I still have what feels like irritation to my glottis from the violence of the coughing. (I still have a cough, but I've had an allergy-related dry cough for over 20 years, and it got worse after I started on Lisinopril several months ago -- infamous side-effect.)

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostUmmm...that's pretty much the whole point, right? Covid-19 is more lethal for people who have pre-existing conditions, especially if they are lung-related. I'm not seeing anything earth-shattering here. If they had pre-morbidities and were managing them, and then caught coronavirus and died, it seems fairly safe to say coronavirus was a contributing factor.
But then again - I'm not a doctor... soSome may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
