This isn’t the flu.
Months after infection, COVID-19 patients report breathing difficulty, excessive fatigue
For thousands of COVID-19 patients around the world, the disease has become a chronic condition.www.ctvnews.ca

“... The British Medical Journal released new guidance for health providers in August on how to treat long-haul COVID-19 patients, estimating that up to 10% of all people who have tested positive could develop a prolonged illness. The guidance includes specific blood tests to perform, possibly referring patients to pulmonary rehabilitation and having them use pulse oximetry at home to measure oxygen saturation in the blood.
Results like these fly in the face of a narrative that took hold early in the pandemic, in which many medical professionals believed that the average COVID-19 patient would be sick for a couple weeks, clear the virus and be fine afterward.”

The percentage of people who’ll end up with long-term damage to their bodies is completely unknown at present - but it’s asinine to believe this virus is no different than the flu, and to deny the possibility that a significant percentage of people who get this disease will end up with lifelong problems.
Anecdotal, yes - but I have three colleagues at work who all got sick with Coronavirus way back in February, before we knew it was even in the building. All three have taken sick leave multiple times throughout the summer, all saying the same thing, that they just feel ‘very unwell’. One is a 26-year-old male who used to be an avid cyclist - he says he can’t even ride four blocks without ‘feeling ill again’. He was sick with Covid19 in February. I even remember the day he left early, saying he felt sick. I wouldn’t see him again for three months.
It’s bizarre that so many people believe this virus is either fake, or that it really isn’t that much worse than the flu. Hopefully, the number of people who suffer from long term damage will be low - but the early evidence doesn’t actually support that. Either way, we simply don’t know yet.
We need to science this. Not just dismiss this virus as being ‘like the flu’. Personally, I haven’t ruled out the possibility that this virus is from a lab. That alone should cause people to re-think the notion that this virus is ‘normal’.
Also, about masks. If I’m wearing a mask... a proper mask, not a cloth one, but a nurse‘s mask, or an N95... and you’re wearing a mask... then the chances of transmission between us are low. What’s so difficult to understand about this?
Again, anecdotal - but my girlfriend is the Dietician at our facility, and way back in February one of her workers went into her office coughing like crazy, saying she needed to leave early because she felt terrible. My girlfriend said the coughing was so bad she just assumed it was theatrics. Nevertheless, she told her worker to go home. This worker was someone who, pre-pandemic, always wore a mask, and thankfully was wearing one that day. There were two others in the office. Had my girlfriend’s worker not been wearing a mask it’s a near certainty that everyone in the small office room would’ve gotten Covid19, which is what the worker had. (The outbreak at our facility would be discovered and declared 48 hours later.)
This idea that masks are a threat to your liberty is asinine.

University of Pittsburgh scientists discover antibody that 'neutralizes' virus that causes COVID-19
The antibody component is 10 times smaller than a full-sized antibody.

The murder-suicide from early May pops back into mind with the professor at that same university who was supposedly about to make "very significant findings" (source: CNN).
Health officials worldwide are receiving death threats because of their work to educate the public and stop the spread of COVID-19
At least 24 local and state public health officials in the US have quit or retired since the beginning of the pandemic in January.
That headline is garbage and those officials will get absolutely no sympathy from me. There would be no anger directed at them if all they were doing was "educating the public." There is a ton of deception in today's mainstream reporting working to prevent this beautiful ship full of hysteria from crashing.

I do enjoy the updates from Chicken Little here. How far has the sky fallen today?
Just as far as in my post , how are the conspiracy theories today? Any alien government plans uncovered?
in winter and the next couple of years with measures 
and I bet you will all be pushing the same political bull shit .
Doesn’t matter I live in The Netherlands... land of free speech and weed on every corner.
Are you sure we will be here for the next couple of years? Aren’t you presuming a lot with COVID. Winter is coming, right? I thought you took this thing seriously....Just as far as in my post , how are the conspiracy theories today? Any alien government plans uncovered?
See you all
The problem is , everything is restricted so it’s not weird that numbers are lower , thats not to say the virus is less harmful , there is a difference.
Sorry even they implemented measures ...
It will take longer than years. COVID is permanent. It’s going to be added to the list of circulating Coronaviruses that we already deal with. And it’s a shitty virus. It makes some people pretty sick and kills some people.
Cases will rise and fall for a while. It's inevitable. We just need to do our best to protect the elderly and the sick. Those of us under 50 who have our health need to get a little courage and get on with living. We're going to be OK. The idea society needs to be shut down over this is asinine. Maybe, MAYBE, we needed to do all this back in March because we just didn't know what we were dealing with. We were operating literally out of ignorance and fear, but to continue to allow ignorance and fear to control us is foolish. We know so much more than we did six months ago. Its time for us to start acting like it and for our leaders to do the same.

Finnish top health authority saying that the virus isn’t as dangerous as assumed in the spring, that approach should be reassessed
THL:n Salminen: Korona ei ole niin vaarallinen kuin pelättiin – arvioi, kuinka kauan epidemia jatkuu
Koronan kokonaisvaikutus pitää arvioida uudelleen, sanoo Mika Salminen.
Shocking news
FWIW, the Finnish authority is very conservative, while Sweden stayed open Finland locked down an entire state of the rest of the country
Technically you have to wear a mask inside as well, and only take it off to eat but no one does that, they just let the masks over their chin and chill. Oh and, water parks are open here but kids must wear a mask in school. So the frustrating thing for me is all the contradictory measures this Belgian government as installed, they don't make any sense. /End of vent

You are a joke. You have become a caricature of the most clueless COVID Karen chicken little. "That single maskless person is a health hazard." Your posts are starting to look more and more like satire.
Please. Stay home. It will be better for everyone. I know you’re scared. Just stay home where you’ll be safe. Then you’ll be safe from those maskless maniacs outside and we don’t have to read your whiny bitching.
