Don't Worry About Covid if Under 80

[TeeJay]

https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/ontario-deaths-from-covid-19-concentrated-in-those-above-80

On Wednesday, the province reported 1,429 deaths from COVID-19. Of those deaths, 152 had occurred in retirement homes and 1,074 in long-term care facilities. That leaves just 203 in the wider community between the end of January when the first cases appeared and May 6 when these numbers were reported.

When it comes to the percentage of fatalities from COVID-19 there is a sharp spike for this age group. Among Ontario’s 1,540 deaths, those 80 and older account for 70% of all deaths. If you count from age 70 up, that demographic accounts for just 30.7% of all cases but 87% of the deaths.

To summarize;
Old People Die
Life Moves On
Liberals Need to be Overthrown

I worry about catching the virus not because
I believe my chance of getting killed by Covid-19
is greater than getting killed by common flu. I worry
more about passing the virus on to the elderly around
me.

Didn't you watch the news? Buy 1000 rolls of toilet paper and you will be fine

 

[Smallcock]

Toilet paper is finally back on the shelves but the idiots are still buying out sanitizer wipes.

Yup, Doug Ford is a Liberal.

Perhaps the shutdown has had something to do with less deaths?????

A nice handrail is waiting for you at 825 Coxwell so we can test the theory assuming you are under 70 teejay.

Less???
Our death count is one of the worst in the world!

Compare our shutdown with other similar countries (eg Australia, very similar demographics, population density, travel, etc)
Australia has about 1/10th of the infections and 1/50th of the deaths we do
Their curve was flat and now broken and life is back to normal

We have NO community deaths in Canada; the majority of our deaths are from small pockets (eg nursing homes, some of which have 50+ deaths in a single home) and in cramped places (eg Cargill meat processing plant, where immigrants live 10 people to a dorm and all infect each other)

All the hype and bullshit about community transmission is nonsense
Easy way to prove that is take a look at the multiple grocery stores and fastfood restaurants where an employee tested positive
A *single* employee
No mass outbreak at the store
No traceable outbreak to the hundreds who got food there that day
Nada

Before you continue what they aren't reporting are the after effects of recovered cases. Lots of things I've seen are serious respratory side effects among younger people.

And therefore more susceptible to pneumonia later and other things later.

Many random unsubstantiated comments of "young" ones which contradict everything Health Canada, CDC, WHO etc post

One medical link please if its true and not #FakeNews

Give us the data, not the anecdotes.

I know I know, Dr. Fauci knows shit because the amigos are the experts but too chickenshit to lick a handrail at the Covid clinic.

Well for the 60+ crowd I'd be very worried about the virus, even in good health. This doc was 66 & healthy & ended up in the fight of his life. If he hobbied I would bet he would be one of the least likely affected in his age group...well that's why I don't bet!


WINDSOR -- Dr. Dean Favot has never missed a day of work in his 35 years as a doctor in Windsor, but that all changed when he was hit by COVID-19.

“I always bragged, and prided the fact that I probably have the best immune system of anybody,” says Favot, who practiced emergency medicine at the Windsor Regional Hospital before retiring last year.

A month ago, he started noticing changes to his body.

“I lost my taste buds, had very hyper sensitive skin, painful. I said this is sort of strange, but it will probably go away in a few days.”

Those symptoms never went away. 10 days later, Favot was laying on a bed in the intensive care unit where he once worked. The doctors would slide a ventilator tube down his throat as his conditioned worsened.

“You can’t breathe, it’s worst feeling in the world,” he describes.

For the next 10 days, the ventilator push life-saving oxygen into his lungs as Favot was fighting for his life.

“It was the scariest time of my life.”

Meanwhile, his wife and kids were back at home, unable to be by his side as the hospital had implemented visitor restrictions.

“I dropped him off at the hospital. I couldn’t go in, I drove away. I parked my car and cried for hours,” says his wife, Giuliana Favot.

“At one point I didn’t think I was going to see him again.”

Family, friends and even acquaintances reached to Mrs. Favot during this devastating time to help in any way they can.

“We had to quarantine ourselves. I had food daily dropped off from friends and family, unbelievable,” she says.

After three weeks in the ICU, Favot started to regain his strength. On Saturday, he was discharged from the hospital as a recovered man.



And even more disturbing is the interview from CBC with a early 20's athletic university student from out west that got it & ended up on a repirator & a colleague's 27yo nephew from Germany that got it who's a professional athlete as well as triathlete & ended up on a respirator for 10 days! I assume these two example's are results of cytokine storms but goes to show you it affects everyone differently.

Other than wearing a mask if I go to a store or around the at risk & practicing good hand hygiene not much has changed in my daily routine. I don't have any risk factors & I'm in the lower age bracket, but it's definitely something knowone should take lightly whether your 25 or 65.

So you disagree with Canadaman that this is a simple flu? Even Trump deep down is scared shitless. Notice how Spence isn't allowed near him and they are saying it's Spence's call. LOL

Yeah, just kill your grandparents, and your long-time neighbors, and your old high school teachers, and your former coaches.

It should be a great game plan.


(not only that, but maybe you can do it without wasting time on the planning aspect)


What a terrific revelation you've been !

ROFL - only to idiots who have no understanding what a community is.

Well for the most part it is like a simple flu or no sickness at all, but for reasons unknown it attacks some healthy people & brings them to their knees. If I was Trumps age I'd be scared shitless being around that many people. At 70+ if it takes ahold of you your heading for a respirator & in serious shit...have the will made out ahead of time!

Knowing this, are you willing to play Russian Roulette with loved one's lives?

BTW, a "simple flu" does not behave like this.

No hobbying for me, the risk isn't worth the reward & I have interaction with a few people everyday that are in the at risk group. Got a FB that's treating me well & think she's parts nympho! Hopefully by July or August we can all go to the beach & I'll tag at least one hottie for you squeeze!
