8. ...but this really is the truth

Sun Jan 9, 2022, 12:35 AM

Jan 2022

There is really good news about how this pandemic is transforming. We shouldn't chastise bringing good news to light.

COVID ICU/death rate really is directly related to your current health, and should be seen as a good message people need to take to heart.

Not to dismiss any death, but people need to know the risks so they can take some action, no? If above all, obesity is the number one way to prevent a bad outcome, shouldn't people know this?

To the OP, this isn't eugenics at all because frankly, there is NO way to mask, vacc, or social distance our way out of this. This virus infects wildlife and there is NO vaccine currently available to prevent infection, and so, will never go away by any actions we take. We need to know how to decrease our risks for everyone's benefit, but no one is escaping it.
