5-year-old Georgia boy dies from COVID-19

[Hoosier Daddy]

It is getting younger and younger people as it evolves. It also if getting better at spreading. Increasingly it looks like we are in big trouble, and that the massive mismanagement/fraud of the pandemic by our leaders has a lot to do with that likely.

Also, we must have a conversation about whether this sort of gain of function research is going to be legal after it has fucked us so bad just a few years after it was started.

where the virus came from or how is not that important, goddamn it. and there is hardly any chance it was man made. go peddle that bullshit somewhere else.

[Hoosier Daddy]

That’s unfortunate but it’s not the usual scenario involving a runaway immune cascade in Covid deaths. I suspect some facts are missing.

but you suspect voter fraud led to trump getting his ass kicked by 8 million votes!! what the hell do you know?

Strep and staph are ubiquitous in and on our bodies. Normally our defenses keep them at bay. But once another infection, in this case the COVID virus, appears, the body diverts all its resources to fighting it. That gives the strep and staph a chance to flourish, which in this case they did very aggressively. You are right; absent the COVID infection, the child would likely not have died.

So what Volsrock is arguing is that Covid-19 is not that bad, as long as the child is in a germless environment where nothing else can effect him.

I think what he's doing, besides politicizing the death, is pretending that the child did NOT die from COVID (and by extension, neither did the other 630K Americans), but from the comorbidities of bacterial infection plus stroke. This has been an ongoing thing among the Reichwingers since the pandemic started. Remember Darth's "Only 61 deaths" thread? Case in point.

the boy also had two bacterial infections, strep and staph,pneumonia and he died of a stroke. ..... died with covid, not from it

But hey it was Covid and Covid ALONE that killed him

The virus moves down your respiratory tract. That’s the airway that includes your mouth, nose, throat, and lungs. Your lower airways have more ACE2 receptors than the rest of your respiratory tract. So COVID-19 is more likely to go deeper than viruses like the common cold.

Your lungs might become inflamed, making it tough for you to breathe. This can lead to pneumonia, an infection of the tiny air sacs (called alveoli) inside your lungs where your blood exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide.

f your doctor does a CT scan of your chest, they’ll probably see shadows or patchy areas called “ground-glass opacity.”

For most people, the symptoms end with a cough and a fever. More than 8 in 10 cases are mild. But for some, the infection gets more severe. About 5 to 8 days after symptoms begin, they have shortness of breath (known as dyspnea). Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) begins a few days later.

Many people who get ARDS need help breathing from a machine called a ventilator.

As fluid collects in your lungs, they carry less oxygen to your blood. That means your blood may not supply your organs with enough oxygen to survive. This can cause your kidneys, lungs, and liver to shut down and stop working. It can lead to a stroke.

What Else Does COVID-19 Do to Your Body?
Some people also have symptoms including:

Pinkeye
Rashes
Liver problems or damage
Heart problems
Kidney damage
Dangerous blood clots, including in their legs, lungs, and arteries. Some clots may cause a stroke.

They make it very easy to stop caring about them, and just let them die.

"very disheartening, especially for a child who had no or little underlying morbidity."
As usual no one in the media will dig deeper to discover what the "little underlying morbidity" may have been which left him so vulnerable.

Why should they violate his and his family's privacy just to satisfy your prurient and disgusting curiosity, Sister Stench?

We know, we know. You want to believe that every single individual who has died from the virus has an underlying condition. Guess what? You have at least one, I do too, and so does almost everyone alive. Now hop on your hobbyhorse and GFY.

Of course, that is completely unknown. It may take years to find the genesis. I know, you believe, That is all you require.
