They called absolutely everything that had cold symptoms Covid. If it wasn't a test it was "presumptive positive" anyway. Of course everything else went away.
I had Covid with a positive test. For me, it was a slightly worse than average cold. In 2019 I would have called it a cold. I damn near didn't get the test as I didn't find it necessary.
Chainsmoking 50 something relative with liver issues since I was a child: couldn't taste shit, muscle aches, over it in a few days
2
Chainsmoking 90 year old relative diagnosed with pneumonia, asthmatic: didn't catch it, was in direct contact with person 5
3
somewhat obese thirty something with no other health issues: same "symptoms" as person 1
4
50 something relative with end stage renal disease, diabetes type 1, and recovering from a blood infection due to a careless nurse: didn't catch covid symptoms after being near a person who had it and had not developed symptoms yet.
5
This person acted as caregiver for 4, got Covid from person 3 after that person returned a loaned object. contact was prior to person 3's knowledge of even being infected: 5 experienced the same mild symptoms like yours, person assumed it was the flu as it progressed. Recovered fully.
So deadly, eh?
intended targets either didn't get infected or didn't experience symptoms.
None of the "oh but so and so's auntie's cousin's step son on the next block got it and died" bullshit. Covid. is. a. fucking. hoax.
I had one die in my immediate family, but we are talking about an obese 80-something year old with every health issue in the book including a history of lung and heart issues (seem to be the highest risk factors). I saw them a couple months before and if you've been through many older people dying you could see the dramatic decline already there before they got sick. So while I believe that Covid was what put them over the top, the fact of the matter is so would have any run of the mill disease. To be honest it did them a favor, because I've been through enough of the people on that last couple years of life grind and it sucks.
Another one in same house about same age was hospitalized for a while including ventilator. Similar risk factors minus a bit of the severity and obesity. Not necessarily on their death bed. Generally ok now except things you'd expect from an 80-something that spent a month in a hospital bed.
It went through a ton of the family around the same time, and wasn't really that much. I as a generally active late 30s was sick for about 36 hours with a low-grade cold. I know a few other older people that got it with minimal issues. So yeah, it's way overblown. The vast majority of people that died were almost there anyway. Hence the nursing homes being so bad. If you've been to many nursing homes you know they aren't generally a place you come home from.
