>"According to various estimates, between 20 and 45 percent of the people who get Covid-19 — and possibly more, according to a recent study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — sail through a coronavirus infection without realizing they ever had it. No fever or chills. No loss of smell or taste. No breathing difficulties. They don’t feel a thing."
PDS: Which leads to the inevitable philosophical question -- is a virus really a virus if it doesn't do anything?
And by extension, is a pandemic really a pandemic? If most people aren't suffering from the effects usually associated with pandemics?
You know, what's interesting is that up until this point in world history -- we've never called Cancer, AIDS, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Drunk Driving, World Hunger, Massive Unemployment/Job Loss, Poverty, Inequality, Racism, Alcohol Addiction, Crime, Terrorism, Social Unrest, Opioid Addiction, Illegal Immigration, Global Warming, World Wars, and the threat of (possibly immediate!) Nuclear Annihilation, or just plain Old Age -- "pandemics".
Perhaps what something is, or isn't -- is all in the languaging...
You know, there are whole industries (employing huge numbers of people!) that have sprang up around just creating problems for other people...
As in, they make money, actual money(!), and lots of it, when other people have problems...
Including (but not limited to!) News Media, Polticians, Lawyers, Medical Cartels, some factions of some Governments, and some Corporations/Big Businesses...
Prove to me that you don't have a vested interest in the outcome of anything you report -- and I'll consider what you have to say.
Otherwise, you're a shill for one complex or another, adding to the cacophony of crap (AKA fake news/false information/disinformation/lies/propaganda/fraud/misrepresentation/sophistry) out there...
