rcuthbert Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Some Covid info' from the Mayo Clinic: "Treating COVID-19 at home: Care tips for you and others" "Most people who become sick with COVID-19 will only experience mild illness and can recover at home. Symptoms might last a few days, and people who have the virus might feel better in about a week. Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms and includes rest, fluid intake and pain relievers. However, older adults and people of any age with existing medical conditions should call their doctor as soon as symptoms start. These factors put people at greater risk of becoming seriously ill with COVID-19." https://www.mayoclinic.org/treating-covid-19-at-home/art-20483273 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of people who recover have months and months of revalidation some never get back to normal. So please stop acting like its nothing. Yes MOST have no problem. But a lot do. Those people are never put in the stats just the dying so the deniers feel safer. Early in 2021, researchers in Wuhan, China, reported that 76% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients had at least one symptom that persisted 6 months after acute infection, mostly fatigue or muscle weakness. "Studies of non-hospitalized patients have shown that anywhere from 35% to 50% of non-hospitalized patients had symptoms 2 to 4 months later," Navis noted. https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/91270 Edited May 1, 2021 by robblok 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in reality it's probably rare to literally die of old age. Old age makes a person more vulnerable but usually it's something like heart disease, cancer, Alzheimers, stroke, or in this case Covid-19.

That is for sure, lot we don't know. But people keep acting like covid is nothing and it only counts when someone dies. I know a few people who caught it and it took months for them to recover. I also know of people who recovered fast. But the constant pointing out of the deniers to death rates but forgetting that there are other consequences then just death is just sad. This is not something you want to catch you might be lucky but quite a lot are not lucky (and im not talking about deaths) but long hospital stay and revalidation. Never getting back to normal. They should tally those people too. To show that this is serious. Too many people seem to want to make it look a lot less then it is because they hate it that bars are closed and they can't go out. I am certainly not too worried because of with my health i should be ok. But its no guarantee some healthy people end up badly too. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Died of Covid-19, or with Covid-19? There are many variables, made more confusing and misleading by the media and government. Pnuemonia, a major cause of death in the elderly, gets little notice, even when acquired in hospital after admission for an unrelated reason. Who knows the truth behind any of this? Death comes to us all... that is for certain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course death comes to us all sooner or later, but would his death have been later had his relatives possibly no transmitted Covid to him from their travels. The world will never know.
