For anyone wondering my entire family has passed COVID, 0 out of 5 of us have developed mental health issues. TLDR; People get paid more monies to scare you and lure in your attention by exploiting that vector of your psychology. Don't be afraid of COVID, do be afraid of countries locking you in your house to "protect you".
Do you understand what statistics and populations are and that they go beyond your family?
I have a connection to Bergamo, Italy and seeing them do triage (selecting who gets treated and who is rejected) last March/April was brutal.
Your comment is disrespectful to all of those who died, are currently dying or who lost one. And to those who suffer long term consequences that will affect them all of their life.
It's incredible that after nearly 1 year of constant information bombardment you are still too ignorant to understand that even 15% problematic cases will overwhelm the system and cause issues that you are completely incapable of understanding. Yes, 80% of infected will be just fine but the other 15-20% are what brings our healthcare system to its knees. Just be happy you were in the 80% and shut up.
You probably even think of yourself as a smart person (you are not), why else would you come to THIS forum and post this breathtaking bullshit?
People have different opinions. I am pretty sure you are not qualified to assess how smart someone is via the Internet. You just believe your opinion is more worthy or more accepted then the one you are attacking.
And I couldn't agree more with the parent you are replying to.
Cases are popping up. These days, we dont have to wait for the media to tell us how harsh covid really is. I know a number of people who have got it, and everyone of these is fine again. There was one case of a hospitalisation, but that person went to hospital with a lung problem last year as well, so they are what we call a risk patient I guess.
Waving the triaging situation around like you are jesus doesnt help either I'm afraid. Citizens are well aware that the triaging is due to politicians NOT putting extra money into the health care system. No, instead they were busy pouring tons of money into airlines and other industries which managed to cry wolf. I am convinced that if we instead had put only a fraction of that money into the health system, triaging would be way off in the future. But hey, it is easier to sell the measures if you can point at the health system breaking down.
