CV and mad panic behaviour

[flyboy77]

Sars-CoV-2 is a seriously complex viral infection, it affects many organs with the main short term issue being the lungs. But liver, kidney, heart are all affected, and there are signs that eyes, brain and nervous system might also be targets of infection. It is not trivial to determine what is a direct effect and what is a side-effect, these things take time, years in fact.

It looks like there are many potential drugs to treat it, either as a prophylaxis or as a remedy, it appears almost none of them work broadly to claim Sars-CoV-2 won't infect or have some side-effect on some part of your body. The main successful push appears to be one of developing managements, in effect stop it doing the really bad stuff in the short term to give your own body the time to fight the infection.

So the best defence is still not get it in the first place, there are no miracle cures.

Social distancing is king, do not go where crowds are unless you have to, and when you do wearing masks should be compulsory, they do not stop you getting it and the people around you without masks should be considered your enemy stay further away. Which includes Donald Trump, because masks do greatly reduce you giving an infection to somebody else, treat people without masks as contagious, treat them like they are zombies, give and request a wide birth from them!

Things could continue like this for several years, claims we will return to normal sooner than later are likely to be very very premature!

Some quality propaganda there LP. Gotta keep up the fear right....

Off the bat, why is it called SARC COV-2? Because it shares so much in common with SARS COV-1 - it really is not 'novel' at all.

There is no science to support the proposition the SARS COV2 has any more long term harmful effects than any other significant respiratory illness that overwhelms your immune system (if you let it). Zero.

There is also overwhelming evidence that there are several very cheap and highly effective treatments (if given early - pre hospitalisation - who would have thought to treat an illness early!) readily available but largely shunned by the powers that be - and the money machines that are Big Pharma.

Masks? Again, zero evidence that there is one iota of benefit to an otherwise healthy person wearing a mask. Zero. And a lot of evidence that wearing said masks can be, and are, harmful.

And heck, aren't we compelled to social distance any way?

It is self evident now (even if not back in March) that COVID19 is a very mild illness in the scale of pandemics over recent millenia. Indeed, in the scale of all things that kill us.

It's mortality rate continues to fall, suggesting the current mutation(s) are relatively benign (which again is the norm for these viruses).

The so called second waves in Europe and the US - nothing but casedemics. and that's there's something of a rise as Europe/US moves into winter just shows the seasonality of the bug.

That we have to 'test, test, test' to even be aware that there's an issue says it all really (note the absence of data on the false positive rate of the infamous Beijing PCR test here in Victoria nor the number of cycle thresholds, amplifications, they're running with any given test).
