Trump claims 99% of COVID-19 infections are harmless

[Mountain Man]

"The commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration on Sunday declined to defend President Donald Trump..."

Eh, so what. As discussed in another thread, the FDA is just another government body with its own agenda.

COVID-19 can cause permanent heart, lung and neurological damage in afflicted patients.

Sure, and it can even kill you, but the fact is, 99% of people who get the China flu recover with no lasting problems.

One of my cousin's son has the COVID 19. Cousin hasn't given much details yet but I gather it's bad

And a novelist I follow now and again had a month in the quarantine ICU before coming home, still isolated, and can talk only for 40 minutes without using her inhaler. And struggles to work at her computer. She's better now with 2 air purfiers in her home but still has to isolate.

Soooo...I don't know....taking this pretty seriously.

Sure. There are reasons people need to be cautious. We need the Zelenko protocol to be followed by as many people as see early symptoms. Still, the death rate has been similar to that of a bad flu season in the States. This it not sufficient reason to stop the media from finding new ways to say how the virus spreads. We will likely hear bad news (multiple meanings of this expression) by year's end. Gates is already looking forward to another virus hitting us -- one that will deserve the media attention this first one improperly got.

On the other hand, two very senior adults from my Church had Covid, and were self-quarantined, and are doing amazingly well.

(they hadn't been to church in the couple weeks prior, or since, but we've been staying in contact)

Isn't there a conspiracy board for posts like this?

COVID-19 can cause permanent heart, lung and neurological damage in afflicted patients.

At what frequency? The flu can cause some nasty lingering effects too, but it's pretty rare.

Why another board? We get to hear your conspiracies on tweb.

You look for silly knowledge with some focus on discounting our Lord and Savior. You come with actions that tear things apart, to harm people. I'm sharing news here that can save lives. That is quite a contrast. But if you get sick with coronavirus, you don't have to take medicine that will heal you the quickest. However, most of us would like to be healed as quickly as possible, without having to go to the hospital. So remember -- don't use the Zelenko Protocol because Mike was the one who has told you the benefits of it.

They know full well that China under reported the fatalities by 2 to 3 times. It is documented, because the purchase of burial burial urns was more than twice the reported number of fatalities.

Do you really believe the reported figures of fatalities by the Chinese authorities?

Minimizing the impact of the flu by citing questionable figures or ah . . . Sarcasm?

Do you dispute that 99% of affected people recover?

[Sparko]

COVID-19 can cause permanent heart, lung and neurological damage in afflicted patients.

So can liberalism.

[shunyadragon]

Do you dispute that 99% of affected people recover?

Yes. because the fatalities were under reported.

[Cow Poke]

Yes. because the fatalities were under reported.

Well, the recoveries certainly are! They barely ever get a mention.

And, since the newer cases seem to be largely YOUNGER people, you may be disappointed to see the death rate not rise as dramatically as you might hope.
