Surely if you add covid to a serious illness, your chances of dying are worse. Perhaps statistics of who could have survived if their body hadn't had to deal with covid as well might convince the doubters. The trouble with my previous statement is 'could have'. Statistics involving 'could have' have limited value, I suppose but it seems like a no-brainer* to me. * Straight to buttons thread. Do not pass Go.
Well,I am in my 4th week of symptoms after Covid, nothing whatsoever like a cold. I can hardly put one foot in front of the other! I really dread to think how much worse it would have been had I not been fully vaccinated.
Also we get told that more people are in hospital with covid but are they being admitted just because they have covid or are they going in for something else and being tested while in hospital
If I was sick enough to be admitted to hospital,I would rather that there was not the added complication of covid. If vaccination means fewer people have to be hospitalised, so much the better. I don't understand the point you are making @mac12
The point I'm trying to make is that we get told on this thread that covid is killing a lot of people and more people are in hospital with covid, if someone has a heart attack and while in hospital they are found to have covid then they haven't gone in because of covid just as if that person died they didn't die from covid.
@mac12 that same point has been made, correctly, throughout the pandemic. The only truly valid figure would for those who died where Covid was the direct cause.
I couldn't agree more so why do people still come on here saying how bad the death rate is and how many are in hospital they need to stop frightening people or put actual figures in print
You cannot possibly say that any death is only due to a single cause [ except possibly decapitation! ] People die with COVID and because of it, people die with heart disease and because of it.
An awful lot of people have died with it, some mainly because of it.
As I have already said today, the ICU docs. and nurses are probably the only people who have really seen how devastating this disease is, and they have every vaccination going.
Sorry but I think it is time I bowed out of this thread, the stupidity of some people is making me lose my temper and I think I can use my time better, there are people who who still believe COVID is a serious disease.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
