Pathetic Pandemic - Covid is weak

[ExtraSlow]

So looks like covid19 / coronavirus isn't going to dramatically reshape the demographics of the world, or even of individual countries. Death toll has been astonishingly low.

Very few countries have even lost half a percent of their population (source: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries ) and first world countries have fared much better than that.

Weak sauce.

Ummm... I think there is a vaccine. That's probably why.

By definition, we don't have a vacinne. Vaccinated can still spread and catch covid so...

I've also witnessed myself Gov't pcr testing as unreliable. I came back from overseas, tested negative before coming to Canada. Got here and was randomly selected for a covid test. It was positive. Took 3 rapid tests and they were negative. I had absolutely no symptoms

I don't know. A million deaths in the US doesn't seem minor for a little over a year.

That's more people than the US lost in ww1, ww2, Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq.


I guess that's weak.

And to the other guy, the vaccine may no longer prevent tranmsision with Covid 6.0 after about week 10 after booster, it still however decreases hospitalization and death by a huge margin (which was a core premise of his original post).

Several months ago, we (I think it was Alberta) passed the fairly important milestone of "CoVid has killed more people than the previous decade's worth of influenza deaths".
So, that was supposed to help the many many people who were saying "just a flu" wipe the drool from their lower lip and realize this was more serious.
Now, there are still those who might say "beating a decade of flu deaths is still fuck all"... But I think we can tell anecdotally, without any research that it is significant. For example, I don't know the last time I heard of anyone I'm mildly connected to perishing from influenza, but I can easily think of 2-5 people who died of CoVid.
Without anecdotes, it has been statistically significant. Has it not?

[Yolobimmer]

If we had a modern day jack the ripper that randomly killed a couple random people per month, people would be terrified, lock themselves in, not go out alone, or at night etc.

Now we have a pandemic that has.killed thousands in Alberta alone, and the droolers say "doesn't count, he was old and had elephantitis of the penis."

I thought CDC recently changed their definition of a “vaccine”. Someone may need to fact check this…

Yes, they did change the definition but that should be a cause of concern tbh. Changing definations to that it properly aligns with something that has failed under its original definition

Not really. That was always understood, as no vaccine guarantees immunity.

They had to dumb down the definition as more lay people and anti vaxxers started to argue over definitions.

Only a matter of time before they rename the VAERS for the same reasons of lay person misunderstanding.

It's not going to be significant in 10 years time when the average deaths per year from covid are well below the flu deaths. Plus we still have the issue of not knowing how much of the data can be trusted to begin with. Obviously the all cause mortality needs to be looked at and compared. Which makes it appear like nothing happened, however is that because covid deaths were just replacing all the shit people would normally be dying from while they were locked down instead? Or is all the other deaths the government caused by locking people down(suicides, overdoses, missed cancer screenings, etc.) making up those other deaths?

There are very few USA casualties when dropping bombs weighing more than trucks from 20,000 feet. But. If you ask any country who was actually on the receiving end of said bombs, Covid is just another bump on the road of life - much less devastating than even a loss in a battle, especially if being bombed.

McCain was one of the extreme few people ever to be shot down (probably due to poor flying), and he actually lived.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_U...ntial_election To this day, still find it disturbing that a carpet bomber who obviously killed a few women and children just by proximity - almost became president. Putin killcount also being extreme.

Its mind boggling how people will ignore anything that shows how ineffective the vaccine is and how poorly the pandemic was handled...

OK.... Now time and wait for some more negative Rep comments to be coming my way haha

It was a good effort @ExtraSlow

The 900,000 dead in the US alone would disagree.

yolodimmer is a modern day jack the off'er.

Initially the death toll was higher than many places could handle. Italy, Brazil, etc.

But that was with a stronger variant, and before vaccines.

Since then, Omicron has been shown to be less deadly - albeit more transmissible. But factor in that generally speaking countries are 50-99% vaccinated now and of course the death toll will be lower.

Wanna see what happens when everything suddenly opens up and vaccines lose their effectiveness over time? Maybe factor in a stronger variant at the same time? Then you'll get the death toll you're "seeking".

tested positive this morning. was supposed to go to Texas tomorrow. fuck.
