I absolutely am advocating that. If you are not afraid of Covid, you are foolish. Is that what you consider a 22 year old woman, a “contrary example”?!?! Stunning.... You are a lay person who is attempting to apply population level data to individuals incorrectly. Further, I will say it again, death is not the only endpoint.... Ask her, oh wait...still intubated.

Maybe prof is saying that considering only fatalities is limited view of the risks associated with covid-19. There is mounting evidence of long lasting, possibly permanent, damage to lungs, kidney, heart muscle and even brain.

I don't relish the thought being transformed to foggy brained, seizure prone covid-19 survivor with bad ticker and leaky kidneys.

While no doubt...every age category could likely experience cases reaching mortality...

This link provided the most startling statistic that 42% of covid-19 deaths occurred in Nursing Homes and Assist. Living Facilities. (and that number did not reflect those transferred and died in hospitals). But it did reflect the mishandling of the crises by State Governors...who took their direction by listening to King Fauci and Co issuing guidelines (which changed almost every day in an ambiguous and contradicting way).

https://freopp.org/the-covid-19-nursing-home-crisis-by-the-numbers-3a47433c3f70

Some, like Cuomo, followed their own misguided paths...to exacerbate the problem with "non"-caring for the elderly living in these restricted facilities by mandating (executive order)them to take covid-19 elderly even though they could not safely do so...

https://khn.org/news/is-cuomo-directive-to-blame-for-nursing-home-covid-deaths-as-us-official-claims/

The interesting thing about the current spike in states that previously had very low covid-19 infection is that now they are exploding...and people are surprised...

Didn't it dawn on the experts that eventually, with a highly infectious disease...and highly mobile country, that everyone...with the exception of those "imprisoned" in their carefully restricted Nursing/Assisted living Facilities are likely going to be exposed?

It only takes one mobile infected person in this country to become a super-spreader...physical prophylactic's (masks and hand washing)...will never be 100% bullet proof.

IMHO...The only way to end the scenario/cycle is to develop and dispense a highly effective therapeutic to kill the virus upon contraction.

...has anyone here ever heard of Brilacidin?

(that's my one post for the day...and I can't respond if you comment on it)

That's just it, Its not about fear. Its the irresponsible mentality and arrogance of those who suggest inconsideration and want to relay this kind of attitude to anyone under 50, so they can take it to their aunts, uncles, parents and grandparents.

I am sure these are the same people who have not been directly effected by the virus. When it does, really want to see what the next deflection from reality will be.

And again, its not just mortality, A 22 year old who gets a heart or lung condition from just contracting it, under such mentality, is effected for the rest of their lives. It is happening all over.
Just do not know what is so hard to comprehend, but that's me, the fear monger. Their are far more end results than just death and people want to compare it to the common flu.

Therapeutics like those from IPIX are so desperately needed if deemed lifechanging. Go IPIX..
