Wuhan Virus

I believe it. It would be wrong to think that the takeaway is that covid isn't dangerous though. We Americans are a generally fat and unhealthy lot, and while it would be Ruggedly Individual™ to die of a heart attack at 50, it's probably better to not be nudged in that direction by something we can control.

In fact, I would say the takeaway is that we need better, more accessible and affordable healthcare, but that's a story for another time.

Since the vast majority of health issues in the US are due to poor nutrition and lack of physical activity, we might better spend our money on revising the horrible FDA food guidance, stop trying to shove a one size fits all nutrition plan down people's throats and maybe work on improving truth in labeling.

Weren’t you just a bit ago, fighting for LESS government interference? Now you want the government to do more?
Which is it?

Oh, it's all or nothing, obviously. Nice argument.

Because it potentially does permanent damage to the cardio-respiratory system.

I've read that here a couple times, but I've not seen anything since a couple of one off reports in april and June. Has there been a study or something more recently showing the same?

It makes sense to me, I mean if you are older and get some very debilitating disease, I think it's natural that your heart/lungs might fully recovered.

I feel like there's an 80's martial-arts action flick theme song in there somewhere.

If there is, it' says "You have a stupid argument and shouldn't argue on the internet" in it as a hook a thousand times.

While I do what less government interference, since they are already interfering in this area, I would like to see them change the direction of the interfering. And I don't want the current interfering to somehow infer or support more interfering.

There is still much to learn, but heart damage (scarring), lung damage (scarring) and brain damage (strokes, seizures and temporary paralysis) lead the list. Aside from the obvious slant of "stay in, stay away, stay safe" the most troubling in my view is the brain damage. Heart and lung damage are definite problems, but brain damage is unusual. And all three are occurring in all population groups - we just see the immediate effects in elderly and chronically ill.

Thanks for the link. I obviously missed a "not" in my sentence, as in "might *NOT* fully recover"

Actually, his argument was all or nothing. So yeah nice argument, makes your comment look pretty silly.
