Wow! We "know" this??? You should alert someone because then Trump can be removed from office on corruption charges. Oh wait, you aren't even American. So fuck off with what you "know".

Oh shut up about "permanent damage". That is true about any viral infection. A very very small percentage of people will get damaged. You guys continually move the goal posts. The number of COVID cases isn't going to zero. It isn't going to magically disappear. So what do you want?

If by "spike" you mean go up a bit then yes. However it is obvious that the cases are going MUCH higher while the death rate isn't as much. And yes, death rate follows case rate, but this has been going on for months. You cannot hide from a virus forever.

Not just obesity. but Americans also take a lot of immuno-suppressant drugs.

The Washington Post is solely owned by Jeff Bezos. You should realize that. If you trust Jeff Bezos then I guess you can trust it.

You should rather ask why the NYT prints such articles. What is the purpose? Slashdot editors are just idiots who cut and paste stuff. But why does the NYT, WaPo, cnn.com post these kinds of articles? The question is rhetorical.

" 100% of the population is destined to be exposed to the virus."

It won't be 100%, but people need to accept this reality. This is what viruses do. Welcome to Earth. No one lives forever and the chances you are going to die of COVID is extremely small. Sweden realized this early on, and now other countries are coming around as well. Just manage it so hospitals don't get overwhelmed (which despite breathless reporting hasn't happened).

The NYT wants things to remain shut down. It is political. It has nothing to do with science or facts.

Don't bother. These guys aren't interested in data or facts. You are 100% right: the number of cases rising dramatically and the number of deaths are not. There may be a bump upwards in deaths but that is explained by more testing. Even if you don't agree with my speculation, anyone who isn't blind can see that the case rate is going up 700% but the death rate isn't even close to tracking it. This is political now.

And yes, the more people get it, the more people will die in general. However, you cannot escape viruses. Even New Zealand is learning that and they have the easiest task of all the countries. What is truly scary is how people want to remain in lockdown until the number of cases is a handful. That isn't possible. That will never happen. Thousands of Americans still die of h1n1.

Wow. Europe and Canada are AT AN ALL TIME HIGH FOR COVID CASES. But I guess it is because of US Trump rallies and Biker festivals. Congrats: you just proved the OP point. This is political with you guys. STOP IT. Trust the science and the scientists. Stop politicizing it.

Yeah, why aren't they pro-China? I mean China is really good. All countries should be like China.

You act like licking it is somehow bad.

Yeah just a "bit racist". My god, you people are unbelievable. Maxo-Texas you are a SELF AVOWED Marxist. You have literally told us that. But now it turns out you are just another IT guy working for an American corporation who outsources to India. How fucking CAPITALIST of you. You guys are a literal, fucking, joke. And yeah, you sound pretty fucking racist yourself and your comment about "1st world" is laughable. How do you people not realize what absolute hypocrites you are?

No I wont. But it is very "progressive" of you to try and shut me up!

Well I hate to break it to everyone, but there is a big world outside of America. And I say that as an American. The guys in India could complain that we have "zero cultural knowledge". Where are the SJWs? They are being strangely silent while everyone piles on the Indian engineers here. AmiMojo? No comment?
