Some Simple Coronavirus Facts (COVID-19 Fact Thread)

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

It's the same arguments with these people...

Vitamins killed 50 people last year *Coli militants scream for taken vitamins off the market*

Prescription Drugs killed 200,000 people a year *Coli Miltants silent*

terrible comparison.

with a compromised immunity the bodies will keep dropping from other infections which means healing isn't the end of it's impact. you want to only count the initial body count to feel good and ignore the long term ramifications. yet you live in a country with no fair health access. If most of your nation is living in chronic illness then imagine what medical bills and life starts to look like for 40 to 70 percent of people. that's not some joke. y'all think the NBA would have suspended the league if it was just like the flu

have you looked at any health stats in the last 20 year?

poor quality high protein diets are producing a lot of colon cancer and mortality rates are down across the board. nothing you said is reality.

well get your information from somewhere else not here

they've already said for people to stop making the flu correlation it is misleading yet here we are... OP meant well.

thecoli.com

I took health probably 10 years ago in college so my info may be outdated. However, eating adequate protein helps your immune system.

I don’t eat low-quality protein so I rarely get sick.

The terrible comparison was the CV is like AIDS and SARS together. It's a bullshyt claim with no evidence. I volunteered at a hospital years ago and witnessed AIDS patients struggling and how destroyed their ability to fight. Show us videos and pics of CV doing the same as AIDS.

That's one point I agree with you, the article where the doctor was quoted saying that COVID-19 is "like AIDS and SARS together" was taken out of context and he was doing too much when he said that.

This might be a good place to collect CoronaViros Covid19 science based facts and figures.

The less contentious the better I think, to limit discussion to the Latest News pinned thread or elsewhere.

Maybe this comes to nothing but I think it might be a good idea to collect hard advice somewhere where it is easily accessible. The main Latest News thread moves so fast that it is hard to keep track.
