I show a great deal of respect for the dead because I'm not posting fearmongering nonsense nor do I want to place any more restrictions on people's lives than should be necessary. Much of the suffering has been induced by actions of the government (supported by cheerleaders like yourself) because they have no context in how to think longer than today. Not thinking about what the unintended consequences has generated far more suffering than what the virus will ever do.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 11:46 amThe 862,700+ dead people around the world and their loved ones will dispute your absurd assertion that COVID-19 is like other viral and respiratory illnesses. That death total is on its way to a million, even with the most extreme global mitigation effort in over a century.steel_hop wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 9:45 amYour last sentence almost reads like comedy because it ignores that fact that many viral/resipiratory diseases do the same thing as COVID. When you start posting about the long term consequences of those outbreaks then I'll be concerned that you are actually working in the same realm of reality as many of everyone else.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 7:13 amThe dangerous, ignorant misinformation here really needs to stop.JoeMauer89 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 9:40 pmUnknown,Unknown Participant wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 9:32 pm As an anecdotal, and I am not a scientist, Dr., etc. In 1998, I was a USMCR with Weapons Company 25th Marines after 5.5 yrs in the tip of the spear with 1st Bn., 6th Marines 2MARDIV. Back then as a general rule, I never went to the doctor (my old sawbones dad was good enough). In the summer between my IL and 2L years at law school, I had the most ridiculous case of something (maybe narcolepsy (if that is a thing)). No energy, just wanted to nap, which I did all the time. It was brutal. I worried that I had Lyme, AIDs (had been to Olongapo City in 88), Cancer, Malaria, I literally just wanted to lay in bed and sleep forever. It lasted for a month or two. No f'n clue what was the cause (29 Palms water maybe), but I had something. Was really worried about my prospects for 2L. But I got over that just as fall semester started and I was good to go. Who the f' knows. All these Covid novel theories about permanent impacts on health, like Doc B sprouts, he has no clue.
This is a great post, thanks for the personal insight. These theories about permanent impacts on health, are just theories for now. It's the hyperfocus on this virus from the MSM that has unfortunately changed the way certain people accept the information that is disseminated.

COVID-19 can permanently injure the lungs in some patients.

Other COVID-19 patients have experienced cardiovascular complications like stroke.

Of course, there is nothing more permanent than death, and nearly 190,000 have died from COVID-19.
You two should be banned for your dangerously ignorant and misinformed posts. I know the Administrator is reluctant to do that, but a warning should at least be in order here.
There is nothing more dangerous than misinformation in a pandemic.

Of course, you still think DP still deserved to be coaching at Hopkins so that tells me alot about where you stand in the realm of reality.
You show little respect for the dead and the mass global suffering inflicted by SARS-CoV-2.
