Please, use masks and hands disinfection to protect yourself and the vulnerable people around you.
I hope you realise that these statistics tell us precisely nothing at all. What might be helpful is to know the median age of those who died, which I suspect is well over 80. For elderly and vulnerable people, all infectious diseases are potentially deadly, including seasonal flu. The obsession with Covid is not helpful.
sure, not helpful at all unless you or your beloved one gets infected, the organs collapse and die. good luck to you & your family.
Whereas dying of flu, food poisoning, or a disease transmitted by a mosquito is quite OK? People need to get some perspective on things, instead of following the crazy groupthink that has prevailed since 2021. We cannot wear masks for the rest of our lives: other solutions exist and need to be utilised.
you do as you like as long as you don’t set my health in danger.
C’mon, please stop spreading this COVID nonsense. Haven’t you had enough? How many people died from heart attacks, strokes, flu, drowning, lung cancer, car accidents, etc, yet you continue spreading this covid fear. Don’t you have anything more important to write about?
I do. about people who set others in health danger. but me too lazy to do it.
