    Life is risky but smart people minimise risk. That means when there are several infectious diseases circulating at once - isolate at home

    Is that an assumption or can you back that up?

    Because I'll tell you, when I was getting my vaccines back in 2021, quite a few of the people in line with me were not people who took care of their health "in a host of other ways".

    My anecdotal example is definitely not proof, but I'd be willing to wager that the spread of folks I saw when I was getting my shots done was probably fairly close to the sampling you would have found anywhere. It was a mix of young and old, men and women, with a whole range of body types and conditions ranging from rail thin to morbidly obese. Included in that sampling were folks who did match your comment, who did appear to take good care of themselves. But they weren't the majority.

    I am not sure why you are saying this. Young children and the elderly are particularly susceptible to infections. Most parents ‘bother’ to get their young children vaccinated against various diseases to protect them from these diseases. Elderly people get them to protect them due to a weakening immune system. Elderly people ‘bother’ to get vaccinated against the flu and covid because whether healthy or not, they are the most vulnerable.

    The immune system peaks around puberty and declines thereafter. It is been my general observation that healthy adults tend not to get flu shots because they feel they don’t need to whereas unhealthy adults tend to get flu shots as an extra precaution especially those with respiratory issues.

    Hmm... So the CNN writer makes an assertion not predicated on the actual facts, since the actual quote doesn't support the fear mongering at CNN... The quote was, reported an 82% decrease in attendance last Friday, which it attributed to illnesses including flu and colds, And yet, CNN is trying to scare folks, again. Gosh, we must be getting close to an election....

    You realize that Los Angeles is one of the least dense cities in the US, right? Why let facts stop you though...

    You seem to have forgotten that LOTS of vaccinated folks have also died.

    While there may have been some deaths directly attributable to COVID, there are self admitted deaths that were from existing health issues, and COVID was present, not all were attributable to to the actual virus.

    While your picture has all the markers of playing on emotions, it also is not in the US, has 60 million less people than lives in the US, where we also have more widespread healthcare then Indonesia. But hey, don't let that slow down the fearmongering....

    Do you actually believe that an otherwise healthy diabetic people with controlled diabetes actually died from diabetes when they were on life support due to the covid virus infiltrating their lungs and with a cascade of organ failure? It was the virus.

    Do you actually believe that all the overweight people suddenly died of obesity and covid was just ‘present’.

    Do you actually believe otherwise healthy people older than 65 were dying of existing health conditions rather than covid when the only vulnerability was their age? If covid hadn’t been ‘present’, they probably would have lived longer until natural death took them.

    What is the purpose of denying the cause of death when the cause of death was covid?

    This stupid idea that people were dying of existing health issues when covid was present is actually misinformation. The most vulnerable people who had existing health issues ended up in hospitals, intubated, lungs full of virus, leading to multi-organ failure. If they hadn’t contracted covid, they would likely still be alive today.

    What the heck is a ‘self-admitted’ death? If one is dead, one can not admit anything.

    And of course not all deaths were attributable to the virus during the Pandemic. 7.3 million people died during the Pandemic and their deaths were caused by SARS-CoV-2. There are also likely millions of other deaths that were indirectly caused by the virus. There was also under-reporting of covid deaths in many countries.

    Anyhow, this virus is about closing down schools to increases in flu, covid, RSV, strep, and other respiratory infections. It’s the right thing to do to curtail infection spreading out into the community to the most vulnerable.

    The vast majority of hospitalizations/deaths from Covid were those with existing medical conditions. The elderly, sick, and frail may want to consider consuming the product. While I don't get colds and flues, I did catch Covid twice. Both times, my immune system knocked it out quickly. I felt a bit tired, but I could have gone to work.

    I am curious, would you make it mandatory to take the vaccine?

    I didn't say 'all', so stop acting like there is only one way anyone could have died during COVID.

    If someone had respiratory issues before COVID, and died of respiratory issues with COVID as an underlying cause, which did they die from? Not necessarily COVID. The assumption that someone tested positive for the virus doesn't mean that is what killed them.

    Self-admitted - the attending physician STATED that a disease or condition was the PRIMARY cause of death, and COVID was only an underlying cause. Again, just because someone may have tested positive, does NOT mean that is what killed them. I don't know why that is so hard to comprehend.

    Oh, and by the by, one does not die from diabetes. They die of the complications of diabetes.

    Actually, it is more likely that COVID deaths were over reported rather than under reported. Between false positives and positives/non-symptomatic the blind assumption that COVID was a primary cause of death was built into the payments medical facilities received. And, the group most likely to need medical care and/or die from COVID, is the Medicare patient.

    so it's smart to lose your job and drop out of school?

    You know every time school starts there are several infectious diseases circulating dressing is smart people would never go to school.
