    While there is truth that people can take measures to build up or weaken their immune systems, it's not a guarantee against serious illness just like wearing a seatbelt isn't a guarantee you'll survive being hit by a drunk driver.

    There are a lot of variables in play here. Yes, most of those with weakened immune systems such as aged women like yourself, are more vulnerable to COVID, flu, anthrax, whatever compared to younger women, but if all are infected with a virus, it's not a guarantee of who will live and who will die.
    But let’s be thankful for statistics lol.

    Statistically, a very significant part of the population has little to fear from COVID. We all know about the nursing home victims. But with that population, COVID is just another wolf in the pack.

    Young people—especially young kids, should worry just as much about the flu, if not more. Again, statistically.

    Stretch is right about the immune system factor: many if not most COVID victims die from multi-organ failure brought on by the Cytokine Storm—an autoimmune syndrome *which is triggered*, by the COVID virus. To say COVID isn’t killing so many people isn’t semantics: it’s a VERY critical bit of information in terms of possible treatments.

    Whether it’s the strength of the immune system or a *factor* in the immune system is an interesting question. It certainly seems age related and I think a certain blood type correlates to susceptibility. So take it easy on Stretch, she’s not as far off as you’d like her to be.

    But there’s your informed medical opinion for the day lol. I know how much you enjoy them. You love it when I talk medical, don’t you.

    Many could have had simple colds which weakened their immune systems which in turn made them vulnerable.
    People had no clue back about such things at that time. So many other factors too...poor diets, lack of sanitation, on and on.
    Polio struck many very young. Children.

    Measles rampant among children.

    The families, loved ones, and friends of the 130,000 dead Americans will not be very comforted to learn that it wasn't technically the disease which killed them. They have still lost their loved ones. Those deaths happened because of the pandemic. If a very significant part of the population doesn't mind losing relatives and friends then they have little to fear. It should be noted that medical expert Dr Fauci said 20% of the people who get sick with this will get VERY sick. An 11yo boy died on Miami. The Chinese Doctor whistleblower who died of COVID-19 was 33 years old. He's dead now.

    But this isn’t the time for emotional arguments.

    How many lives do you think the lockdown cost? Have you seen the suicide numbers? How many kids are going to be scarred for life from being quarantined for months with abusive parents? How many more alcoholics and drug addicts do we have now compared to February?

    How do you suppose the affected families feel about that?

    These are serious questions—but Fauci could only focus on one thing. COVID deaths. We are just starting to see the social costs that are going to arise out of this.

    If humans were animals there’d be an argument to call the humane society on our experts.

    Well, science trumps common sense lol.

    There’s any number of things that seem intuitively true that have been dispensed by science: flat earth is the most famous example.

    Masks *seem* like they should prevent transmission. But the only literature I could find on the efficacy of masks [specifically masks, not masks correlated with pandemic numbers] concluded they were useless to prevent transmission.

    And it wasn’t one peer reviewed study—it was a review of several studies and each came to the same conclusion: masks don’t work in a clinical setting.

    I posted the link but it was derided because it was done by dentists and oral surgeons. The problem with that objection is they reviewed studies from different disciplines. In one instance, they found no correlation between surgical staff wearing masks and wound infections. Didn’t matter if masks were worn during surgery or not—no statistical difference in outcome. That actually surprised me.

    So, how can masks be useless in a clinical setting but useful when worn in public by the public?

    Of course that's true. DUH.

    According to World0Meters serious/critical cases are still flatlined.

    This need to change for the alarmists to have a case.

    It's pretty easy: If the CDC says something a Trumpette likes, then it's worth citing. If the CDC says something she doesn't like, then it's "Fake news! Democrat lies! A plot to put both Obama and Hillary in the White House, dammit!". Easy peasy

    It was weeks ago that I was looking into the matter, what I found is that wearing masks in surgery has never been backed by science, there never was any evidence that it does any good, that the practice continues because it cant hurt and it makes people feel like they are trying.

    It's possible that the last dozen or so people in the world who are arguing that masks don't work are on JPP...
