Ok so like Ebola, just not as deadly. (Which despite all the media fearmongering had basically no chance of actually becoming a pandemic. You'd be forgiven for not knowing that given the coverage of it here in the US.)

Don’t worry. We’re close to another election season, so it’s time for flu deaths and car crash deaths to be attributed to Covid again and try to force lockdowns again.

To not get Pneumonia when you're sick,
Step 1: Don't lay on your back, sleeping upright in a chair is your best bet, sleep sideways if there is no other option.
Step 2: Drink A LOT of water. It will break up the mucus and help you cough it out.
Step 3: Acquire a bunch of tissues ad actually blow your nose.
Step 4: Take Mucinex as this will help with first three steps.
Many people who got covid did not follow any of these steps and once you end up in the hospital on a ventilator, you're laying on your back 99% of the time and now the ventilator is also breathing for you. Once that happens you're pretty much fucked once they remove the tube.

I've still got my letter from Trump framed. Might as well add to the collection while we watch the economy burn to the ground.

Most of the world doesn't give one jot about the US election.

not sure if you followed the last one of these but it was a US operation through and through, no matter who cares about what election

I thought it was because covid got so bad in the lungs of those people, the ventilator actually blew their lungs out and made things worse. In any case, preventative actions usually result in the best outcomes. Whenever I feel I'm getting sick, I drink tons of water or tea and sleep for a day. I haven't been full blown sick in years, stuffy nose for a bit at best
There were similar sickness reports when US kids were going back to school. They weren't used to the exposure like they usually are. I think things just aren't back in full swing yet. Maybe we'll see a big drop next year in cases

Kids sick at the start of a cold weather? give me a break.
Fear is still the best way to enslave a population. With fear you can make people do anything, up to committing genocide (as long as it serves the agenda of the ruling class of oligarchs).

From what I understood about the ventilators, a person's body becomes so used to the machine breathing for them that in many cases when they are removed from it their body goes into shock and forgets how to actually breath itself.
Either way being preventative, like you said is the best way to go about things.
My friend also says to eat a ton of Zinc lozenges when you feel the first sign of a sickness.

Many East Asian countries (including China) used masks and social distancing long before the COVID-19 pandemic. This is nothing new. Even saw people do this in certain cities in Mexico back in 2016.

Here we go again.
My dad told me my sister called him two days ago, shit scared and crying that this is going to be "Covid on acid". She's begging for another lockdown and has already started prepping. My dad told her to seek help.
In the real world, this is probably nothing to be worried about.

Cool. I’ll ignore it and go about my business as usual, just like the first time.
