Well my grandmother died from it. She lasted 3 weeks. Her blood oxygenation was 70% right before she died. The paramedics came 3 times but wouldn't take her. There is 0% ICU capacity in my city. We are at the epicenter. Since hospitals are at full capacity paramedics make the call whether to take you in or not. Even if you get into a car accident, if you look like you won't make it they won't take you to the hospital. Oxygen is being rationed.
Sure she was old but she was in good shape otherwise. She said "ive never felt so horrible in my life". Three weeks of drowning while awake. Her mind was clear. She's the kind that would have lived till 103 and died in her sleep. Instead she suffered immensely. And it was preventable. But it was minimized, ignored, disregarded and grossly mishandled.
It is really a shame to hear people here dismiss this. With your mask mistrust, mischaracterization of this as just another flu, vaccine disbelief and politicization of a human health crisis, you are part of the problem.
I suppose ill chalk it up to the autism or aspergers that invariably inhabits a number of you naysayers here on bluelight (and for these all i can say is, "forgive them for they know not what they do") but for some of you it is likely plain foolishness and hubris. And there are of course the armchair experts, who's misanthropic view of the world (and perhaps a fair dose of autism) fuels [their] rejection of the scientific consensus through [their] clearly superior understanding of all of this.
The truth is the world is afire with this and the flames are being fanned by fools. And for the "it has a 99% survival rate" chanters: the virus will result in a generation of permanently injured survivors, many of which were young and previously healthy.
Those who perpuate ideas which spread this plague are complicit in a crime. My suggestion to you is to go to your nearest airport and lick some handrails and let natural selection start its work.
