Covid-19 Is Over-dramatised

Yes Covid-19 can have bad consequences, just like many other viruses which we don't lock down our economies for.

I'm sick of the media cherry-picking Covid-19 sufferers. They try to find someone who almost died of Covid-19 who is under 60 years of age, and looks relatively healthy. As against the typical aged, or obese person on a ventilator. Their message is clear. We all need to fear Covid-19 because it can have drastic consequences for anyone.

What the public don't understand is that relatively healthy people can end up on ventilators from seasonal influenza. Google 'flu and respiratory distress syndrome videos' and this video, and plenty more like this will pop up: https:// youtu.be/ khK7YfzSDk4

This shows a relatively healthy looking, young male who spent two months in ICU including about 45 days unconscious on a ventilator just from seasonal infuenza.

We've also seen many articles and news stories on so-called 'long-covid' or about people suffering debilitation conditions long after they have recovered from Covid-19. Again, this condition, known as post viral syndrome can occur with anyone who suffers any viral infection.

Medical News Today writes, 'Almost any viral infection can trigger post-viral syndrome, including:
common cold
flu
pneumonia
Epstein-Barr virus
herpes
HIV
Post-viral syndrome may be more prevalent or apparent in people with weakened immune systems.' https:// www.medicalnewst oday.com/ articles/ 326619#symptoms

The symptoms of post-viral syndrome may vary from person to person, but most people describe feeling fatigued and generally unwell. This feeling persists no matter how many hours of sleep the person gets or how well they take care of themselves.
Post-viral syndrome may cause additional symptoms, such as:
confusion
trouble concentrating
headaches
aches and pains in the muscles
stiff joints
a sore throat
swollen lymph nodes
In some cases, it may be that the body is simply taking extra time to clear the virus out completely.

The government and media have made the public so risk averse with sensational Covid-19 stories, that they will readily accept major limitations on their freedoms. Worst of all, they'll be grateful for politicians for imposing those restrictions.

Of more than 1,500 active Covid-19 cases in Australia,

China must be re-thinking their military budget. There's no need to spend trillions of dollars on hardware and personnel to destroy Western civilisation.

I have attached a screenshot from the Australian Health Department website. It is a reminder of how un-deadly the Covid-19 virus is to most people. In Australia the average age of death with Covid-19 is well in excess of 80 years. Any frail elderly of medically vulnerable person should be assisted if they wish to self isolate, wear PPE or get vaccinated. Everyone else should just get on with life as they are doing in Wuhan China.
