This has been my general view. I've know few who have got it, all saying was like a cold or the flu except one 65 year old diabetic who was hospitalized but recovered. This isn't like every third house on the street is flying a white flag of contamination and they are burying bodies in trenches.
SO I HAD COVID FOR CHRISTMAS. It wasn’t all that bad — more or less like a medium-bad cold, with a bit of muscle aching and a few days of lost smell. I’m better now and well past the isolation period. I’m lucky it wasn’t worse, but not that lucky. Most people I know who have had it had a similar experience. Many thought it was allergies. (It does, for some reason, seem to be milder in general in the East Tennessee area, according to some doc friends. Maybe it’s our killer pollen.)
Anyway, it occurred to me that we may see the reverse of the AIDS education process. Back then, people didn’t take the disease seriously in general until someone they knew — not necessarily very well, but in their circle of acquaintances — got it. I wonder if widespread experience of not-very-serious coronavirus infections might have the opposite effect. It seems less scary than it did in March. Yes, people die of it, but not the 5-6% we feared then, and in most people it’s pretty mild.
The latest CDC weekly coronavirus numbers lists 294,884 deaths due to coronavirus.
10,874 deaths from intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning and “other adverse events.” 11,554 are due to Alzheimer’s disease. 47,351 due to Diabetes 33,367 heart attacks 14,350 cancer patients
For months doctors and investigative journalists have wondered why state coronavirus death counts include motorcycle accidents, homicides, birth defects, gunshot wounds and thousands of intentional injuries and poisonings to the US Coronavirus death totals.
And– In Singapore and other nations, the medical experts follow the World Health Organization guidelines and DO NOT INCLUDE non-pneumonia coronavirus fatalities in their death counts.
So, of course, their numbers are much lower than in the US.

COVID BED CHECK California has passed the 25,000 mark for COVID deaths:
LOS ANGELES (AP) — California surpassed 25,000 coronavirus deaths since the start of the pandemic and officials disclosed Thursday that three more cases involving a mutant variant of the virus have been confirmed in San Diego County.
The grim developments came as an ongoing surge swamps hospitals and pushes nurses and doctors to the breaking point as they brace for another likely increase after the holidays.
Politico noted a few days ago that California, which has tried to impose some of the most stringent lockdowns in the nation, is not doing so well. This paragraph especially jumps out:
America’s most populous state has become one of the nation’s worst epicenters for the disease, setting new records for cases, hospitalizations and deaths almost every day. Things are so bad in Southern California that some patients are being treated in hospital tents, while doctors have begun discussing whether they need to ration care.
I don’t doubt that hospitals are badly strained at the moment. But is this really unprecedented? Check out this Los Angeles Times story from January 2018:
California hospitals face a ‘war zone’ of flu patients — and are setting up tents to treat them
. . . The huge numbers of sick people are also straining hospital staff who are confronting what could become California’s worst flu season in a decade.
Hospitals across the state are sending away ambulances, flying in nurses from out of state and not letting children visit their loved ones for fear they’ll spread the flu. Others are canceling surgeries and erecting tents in their parking lots so they can triage the hordes of flu patients. . . Many hospitals also say they’re too full to accept any more patients or ambulances.
Or have a look at the situation in Britain over the last decade, as compiled from Guardian headlines:
Of course, in Britain’s nationalized health care (ditto Canada) rationing of scare resources is par for the course. And American hospitals don’t like to devote too much of their space and resources for expensive ICU beds that would sit mostly empty in ordinary times if we built them out for peak capacity of flu season or any other cause.
We are hanging on for dear life here in California. Every day we lose more men to this damnable pandemic. Bodies are stacked in the streets and orphaned children roam looking for food and shelter. We look in vain to Washington DC for the leadership we need but are left hanging and must deal with the idiot in Sacramento who has no answers other than to drink at his winery and shoot orphans for sport

It will never be so simple that a leftard can understand it. flea has the same econ background that phucked him us as AOC. Leftards have no desire to actually understand. Just a desire for power, free sh*t and control. So, our so called medical experts which haven't suffered a missed day of work, unlike the tens of millions of Americans they put out of work, have just one job to do and they come up with a system that intentionally overcounts chicom crud hospitalizations and deaths.

"Differentiating between 'with' and 'due to'
Yet many, if not most, states are failing to make the distinction between patients hospitalized because of COVID-19 versus those who simply test positive for the disease while hospitalized for something else, according to a Just the News survey of state health departments.
That data would provide a fuller picture of both the pandemic and its toll on local medical systems. Yet state public health officials consistently told Just the News that their respective health departments do not track that data."

Can you see the sparks shooting out of @dflea's ears right now? You are way, way over his head at this point.
Best to stick to See @dflea. See @dflea run. See @dflea run and fall. See @dflea run and fall in his muddy driveway to his trailer.
You're such a fucking pussy, TurdEater. Everything you say is a lie, because that's what you have to do when you're a little punk ass bitch like you. I own you.
Gatorz guessed 350k dead, and that's what the CDC says. Your response is to be a little cunt and whine about how the statistics are kept. That's like taking a poll what the unemployment rate will be and the gweebing after the fact about how the labor dept calculates unemployment. A little bitch move.
You're a fucking worm, so I guess it isn't surprising you'd go with the cunty technique you did, though. Did your parents teach you to be a cunt like that? They were liberal teachers, right?
lol
Fuck yourself, faggot. Or hump my leg again so I can kick your dumb ass back across the street. Again. Shit dog.

So simple even that stupid fucking @dflea can understand it.
Well, actually not. That Econ degree really fucked him up.
In an idiot's head, but still.
I own you, bitch.
