True.  We would be screwed if it was.  We are lucky. 

But it a pretty vicious virus if you fit the checkboxes of those that it really goes after hard.  It isn’t a the flu for them.    So it depends who you are...how serious it is.

for example, I’d let me son go to school and yet I’d quarantine my father.  Same virus.  But those two can’t view it the same. 

COVID has a more skewed survival rate than say the flu.  Flu is more well rounded.  Young people getting COVID aids the numbers much more so than the the flu’s numbers.  Flu can kills the young and old.  COVID doesn’t really.   COVID is much deadly for the old than the flu....which gets lost when just talking overall numbers.

Acquaintances who have had it were pretty sick for several weeks without being able to barely get out of bed.  It can be pretty bad even when not lethal.

I'm in quarantine now after a friend who I had some contact with tested positive. No symptoms for them as far as I know yet. Test for me tomorrow.

And we all know people that died from the seasonal flu, pneumonia and on and on.  I’m not saying there isn’t a virus, just that it isn’t as contagious as we are being lead to believe.  

well I don’t know what “we are lead to believe” means. 

COVID is pretty well documented by the scientific community as very contagious.  Much more so than other recent pandemic scares.  More so than the flu.

Actually the fact so many people are asymptomatic and it can take anywhere from 2 to almost 2 weeks to show symptoms is one reason this virus is so problematic.  Dengue fever was a lot more deadly but spreads less easily because it requires a mosquito vector or infected blood.. There are over 100 million cases of dengue fever globally on an annual basis but few cases here because it is easier to trace and isolate. Because it is more deadly there isn't a  high asymptomatic rate and it doesn't spread as easily. Hence the reason why it doesn't scare folks like the Corona virus does 

And if everyone gets the Corona virus at the rate of .025% it would still be over 8 million deaths in the US alone. That is pretty deadly to.me and surely no flu.

He hasn’t backed that number up and I haven’t seen it reported anywhere.

My dad who is mid 60s and going through cancer treatment (for the second time) just got the virus one week ago, tested positive last Wednesday. Felt crappy Monday through Saturday and today he feels great.

I thought for sure he’d be done for or at the very least in bed for a couple weeks. He said the worst of it was that he couldn’t taste and was very weak.
 

Strange virus indeed.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      By X-Clown · Posted

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
