[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 191757, member: 18023"] I would disagree with your post on several fronts while agreeing with some of it. More a matter of degree than anything. These things aren't black or white. 1) Treatment has improved, I don't think Remdesivir is all the effective, steroid help a lot more, avoiding respirators in general at all costs helps. [B]BUT the bigger part of the overall improvement [/B]is because more younger people are getting it. 2) I would strongly disagree with characteristing this as deadly to [B]most [/B]older people. Rather, it's say 3 times more deadly for older people. Even though it's much higher death rate ii's still a minority of older people that die from covid. 3) Even though masks can't stop the smallest particles from being dispersed, it's common sense that it stops [I][B]some [/B][/I]percentage of spread . And most (? who know for sure, but I would bet most people), people aren't extremely careful about how they use a mask or really any hygiene issue. IMO the real argument should be how effective mask are? And does wearing a mask cause people to take more risks? 4) It really isn't the fatality rate that is the biggest problem, it's the hospitalization rate that causes the big problems. Hospitals simply can't handle the surge, causing many problems such as not being able to handle other emergency problems such as accidents, heart attacks, etc. For instance, if 2% of people who got infected just got sick and died in 24 hours after infection, having 271,000 in the last 10 months would be a tradidy, but it wouldn't be an emergency. Probably more like 1% if you take into account a lot of people get infected but never show up as an active infection. I am 68 and got covid in March, it was nothing, a runny nose and 99 fever. I don't show up in any stats since I never got a test, the only reason I know I had it is because I took an antibody test in June, and my wife (who is 44 btw), had a more serious case with all the symptoms though we never went to a hospital, I had planned on taking her had it gotten a little worse. She couldn't walk a mile without running out of breath She never could get a covid test at the time, so I don't think she shows up in stats either. [/QUOTE]
