"Covid-19 is not a cold virus, but a well treatable condition with a mortality rate comparable to the seasonal flu. In other words, there is no longer an insurmountable obstacle to public health.
There is no state of emergency."
@sda my wife's a respiratory therapist that cares for COVID patients every week. This is 100% false. She tells me constantly about the crazy-high mortality rates of this disease and how incredibly difficult it is to care for.
@Demosthenes
Guess it depends on where you live.
Northern Italy, NYC, NJ and other places of high air pollution also have high rates of Covid fatality.
There were zero deaths in my mountain county until last month. Then it tore through the nursing home less than a mile from here resulting in 9 deaths.
Since you (or your wife?) seem to know more about the situation in Belgium than 468 Belgium doctors and 1477 heath professionals I assume that's where you live. What's the ineffective treatment(s) they're administering where your wife works?
@sda I'll have you know that I have a grade 3 black belt in Belgium Healthcare. The military kicked me out of their medical school because I was just too good.
To be serious, what rubs me the wrong way is that they're implying COVID is just as dangerous is the flu. My wife regularly tells me stories of people dying because of COVID. I never heard that with the flu.
