Anyone remember 2020?

Shuck-and-jive as you will (and you know who you are) . . .no one above the age of six or seven during he pandemic will ever buy into that stuff agin. . . . .and that could be a tragedy if we ever experience a true pandemic of something as lethal as Bubonic Plague was to Europe in the high Middle Ages.

Covid19, while indeed serious for those in high risk groups, was less lethal than the influenza of 1918 at something less than 0,01%. We don't know for certain because the stats were intentionally skewed by not reporting the numbers of folks who recovered. The so-called Black Death of the 1400-1600s was around 30% lethal.

not quite. from the CDC:

"(Covid's) Case Fatality Rate: As of April 2023, roughly 1% of confirmed cases resulted in death.Total US Deaths: The CDC reports over 1.2 million deaths."

Thank you pxmcc for not throwing out obtuse figures like maggies are known to do. And the figures you give for the annum, Covid still takes a bite out of the population. How anyone can shrug it off seeing that it has been determined to have lowered the lifespan in such modern times is beyond me.

Shuck-and-jive or whatever. But feel free to identify your object of intention since it is like maggies to misdirect by not using specific nouns...like donny always talking about many people with tears in their eyes. We never know who these people are and they have been likened to figments of his imagination.

And comparing this pandemic to ones in pre-vaccination times, dare I say Dark Ages is likening apples to oranges. Not something a sound statistician or good medical person would do.

...but I could be wrong. Can any Covid naysayers show me some links that show the an organized vaccination program to treat the plague from yesteryear?

"Confirmed Cases". is the key phrase. A lot of younger folks got slightly sick or had symptoms that were minimal. In either case their Covid infection went unreported.Our pre-teen grandson was symptom free wile oothers in his family were obviously sick. He now tests positive for Covid antibodies.

And pretty much in the way of stsatiics on Covid from. the CDC in that time period is suspect in my book. Faucci is at the root of that, playing dodge ball with the facts to boost vaccine usage over therapy to his personal profit aaaaaaaa (insider investing and under the table kickbacks etc). And N O, I can't substantiate that but it's out there.

And I don't have to back that up . . .its the way I remember the pandemic and its sequellae.

"I can't prove it, but it's out there" and "I remember it that way" is not an argument. It's just bullshit with nostalgia.

So yes, mystery solved: no evidence, no sources, no case — just vibes pretending to be facts. If anyone was still wondering who was shucking and jiving, that last paragraph answered it.

We're done.
