Coronavirus: COVID-19

[CBJ]

That's something I'm curious about - nothing is said, if there are or there is any pernament health dammage after COVID.

Not sure what you get the idea that "nothing is said". This is the information felter was referring to. Also a video.

I saw this report once or twice in last several months.
I'd expect that if this is wide spread, or at least statisticaly significant (e.g. 5% of all critical cases), then the media would talk about it constantly.
There is already 5.5 mil recovered, so I'd expect that they should have the data.
As I said, this would be very good argument for people to follow the restriction and treat it seriously.

It doesn't help that media have the attention span and memory of a gold fish.

There's also the fact that the after effects of contracting covid isn't a threat to the public whereas the disease itself is. You're more likely to find that information in medical journals than in the news.

[Alan Phipps]

The best 'treatment' for Covid after-effects is not to catch it in the first place. That should be the emphasis, rather like with heavy smoking and after-effects such as lung disease, etc.

Given the behaviour of some people since the lockdown started to be eased, I think it could be argued that it's the general public that has the memory of a goldfish, and that the media are just catering to the market.

I'm going to be honest with you when it comes to America. We have never done this mask crap before with a flu. It has been overhyped to excess and there are a legion of Karens out there willing to be citizen gestapo to enforce it for virtue signalling purposes. I never wanted to play this game or make it a political statement. This has been stupid the entire time. I didn't do the the mask thing and I won't now. I respect the rights of businesses to require that nonsense and I have my own discretion to go where it is not a factor.

It is hard to imagine how you can possibly reconcile your refusal to wear a mask with: Coronavirus: 'Swift and dangerous turn' in Texas cases, says governor. Can't you see how such attitudes are literally killing your own Texan countrymen. And no, it's not because of more testing, or the liberal media, or Obama.

He can't ever see it

America is burning right now, with over 125 thousand dead, 2.5 million infected, Texas alone is seeing around 5,000 people per day in hospital admissions for virus related problems. They have a president who doesn't seem to care, and is only interested in how it is effecting his image. Then you have a part of the population who are being asked to help save their country, to help and slow the virus, to save the lives of their fellow citizens and they refuse to do so. Do they actually hate their country that much, that they are not willing to wear a simple mask to hep out, is it that much of an inconvenience that they would rather see their countries economy go up in flames along side the death rate, rather than just covering their mouth with a bit of material. It's not like they are being asked to go to war and give their lives for their country, like many have done in the past. It's simply help save America, help save American lives, help their country get over this and help it get back on it's feet again. I just don't get it, why do they despise their own country so much, that they wont help it in it's hour of need and all over a little piece of material. They should be ashamed of themselves.

[mr.WHO]

In regards to mask - one thing that makes me facepalm hard is that some people are not mentally capable to wear the mask correctly.
I can respect that someone refuse wearing the mask (but I'd stand away from, in public transport especially), but when I see someone wearing the mask on mouth, but with nose sticking out, then I seriously cringe.

It might sounds harsh, but none of these people seems to be children, or visibly mentally deficient, so I can't see any exuse. I think media spammed how to wear the mask sufficiently in early stage of COVID (one of the rare case, where media actually did proper job).

[Vertigo 7]

John Oliver made a really good point on yesterday's episode. Aside from the absurdity that republicans have turned protection from disease into a culture war, they missed a massive opportunity from the beginning and should have made a million MAGA masks and littered the streets with them. Does anyone doubt that if Trump wore a bright red mask that his cultists would too?

[mr.WHO]

I seriously doubt it - the are people who were beaten by just wearing MAGA hat.
I wouldn't like to have a target reticle on my face.
Second, especially at early stage of epidemy, it would be very bad PR to hoard resources for perfectly fine masks, to turn them into MAGA masks.

Standard pneumonia needs long-term treatment, because it leaves your lungs damaged.
Covid is, in a lot of cases, a severe pneumonia.

Have more than 120,000 people died from wearing a MAGA hat? Have more than 2.5 million people been sick or injured from wearing a MAGA hat? People didn't stop wearing MAGA hats just cuz a couple of the nutters got whopped up on. But an awful lot of the nutters didn't wear a mask because the Orange one told them not to.

4 of the last 5 days there has been over 40,000 new virus infections in America, meaning over 208,300 new infections, there are only 12 countries that have accumulated more infections since this all started and America did it in under a week. Dr Fauci warns the senate of a possible 100,000 US cases per day. Not good, not good at all.

Meanwhile, as if to score a point for stupidity, South Dakota is planning a 3th of July celebration at Mt. Rushmore. Republican Governor. Noem says 'we will not be social distancing' at celebration with Trump. Masks are optional. This at the same time as the data that felter just posted above.

Noem promised a "large event" set for Friday on her Ingraham Angle appearance, saying "we told those folks that have concerns that they can stay home." As for everyone who comes, "we'll be giving out free face masks, if they choose to wear one," Noem said. "But we will not be social distancing."

[felter]

Go back several weeks ago and it was the virus only effects old folk, well it is turning out that this is not quite true. The other day there I mentioned that there were post virus lung problems, well it turns out they are starting to see a rise in neurological problems. The really troubling part is where the lung issues were mainly with people who were hit badly by the virus, these neurological problems are also effecting the ones that had mild virus issues and not just older vulnerable people either. You do not want to catch this virus, you may think you are safe because you are not in that vulnerable group, well think again.

If all these health issue that are beginning to be seen are caused by the virus, America you are royally screwed and it's only going to get worse there. They are looking at potentially hundreds of thousands of people with respiratory or/and neurological problems. At the end of the day a lot of people are going to be wishing they wore the mask after all.

[Observe]

How many supporters would Trump lose if he wore a mask? Probably quite a few would be my guess. These are the people who would wear a mask if the government banned masks. Tell them to gather in close proximity and they will isolate themselves and insist that their free expression overrules the knowledge of experts acting on the behalf of us all.

Wasn't USA just after widespread protest of tens of thousands in multiple cities across whole country?
At this point Mt. Rusmore celebration is a small stupidity of entire special olympics of stupidity.

You can say what you want, but BLM protest ended the lockdown - at this point no one will stick to it anymore - you can just prepare some cardboard with BLM and when police show up you say you protest (already there is dozen of such stories).

Old and unwell (ekhm..fat) people should think for themselves and self lockdown.

[BrasatoAlBarolo]

Black Lives Matter is turning to Bad Lungs Movement in a stylish way, I see...
And I agree with Mr. Who, thinking about an healthcare point of view, BLM protests and rallies have been untimely even if socially understandable.

The fact is noone can do anything to actually stop people from gathering unmasked not respecting social distancing. Just about ten infected in a rally like that are enough to start a carnage, but nobody is even warn this people about that, everyone still minimizes covid despite the 7-figure number of infected, which is probably a lot less than the actual size of the pandemia.

[mr.WHO]

What is a WORLD GRADE stupidity is that BLM protest spill outside USA.
To some point I can understand how "special" the USA is on that matter, but having BLM protest across the Europe?
UK police brutality? UK police is the most castrated and harmess police in the world.

It's almost like someone intentionally want to sabotage the lockdown...and it's not Trump (unless you think Trump has power across the whole Europe internal affairs).
