If he lives today, it wasn't his deathbed.

meanwhile in 2020 when I got covid, I was the picture of poor self-care and a lack of physical fitness.. and covid, to me, was just a really bad cough, sore throat and congestion lol

He was in a coma. His family was prepared for his death. Everybody in the office came to grips with losing this guy as a friend and colleague. He made a miraculous recovery, but like I said - he never fully recovered.

No, this claim is not true. The first confirmed COVID-19 death in New York City occurred on March 13, 2020, when an 82-year-old woman with advanced emphysema succumbed to complications from the virus at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn.

You ever wonder if maybe all the other facts that made you come to the conclusion that covid was a death sentence are equally as false? I know they are now.

Jump off a tall bridge. You are a troll, and you have a negative impact on society.

Lmao "kill yourself, your kind makes society worse."

Nice society you have there.

Oh and go fuck yourself. Ban me from these forums I don't give a shit, I don't want to associate with people who can be swayed by podcasters YouTubers and stand up comics

I gave you a time article, and you gave me a fact that was wrong.

Nobody needs to be banned.

This is why you have this issue.

Youre like, "I got covid? KILL ME" ... "I disagree with you about a cold, kill yourself and ban me!"

Don't be so extreme [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I like you, zeld52.

Lotta people have died to flu

Lotta people have died to covid

/shrug

Sometimes the body can take a tremendous amount of punishment, just look at what homeless drug addicts do to their bodies and sometimes they keep on kicking

Or sometimes a stiff breeze kills a healthy person. But just because a healthy person can suddenly have a heart attack or aneurysm or whatever and die isn’t a reason to not take care of oneself or take precautions during a pandemic though, that’s just careless nihilism at that point

Covid for sure for me felt worse than any flu I had, but I also have horrendous flu reactions so I try not to get sick in general.

I too still fear covid like it's the plague, but am also extremely sad it was not the plague and we all got to go back outside.

This is a classic appeal to authority logical fallacy. What is true or false does not depend on who is making the claim, it depends on what they're claiming.

I've made this point a million times but I'm happy to make it again:

The flu kills lots of immunocompromised people, just like covid. Children are actually more at risk of serious illness from the flu than covid, which remarkably, barely affects most children. The method of transmission is essentially identical, the average morbidity is roughly the same.

Why has there never been a push to make everyone wear shitty loose-fitting masks during flu season? Don't you want to save grandma? A good honest response to this question would sound something like: "You know what? Ciderpress, you're right. We SHOULD have been wearing masks all this time, prior to covid, simply to protect against the flu. We were foolish not to, but going forward I will now don both my covid mask and my flu mask.".

I never get that response though, weirdly.
