Just curious how you are not concerned about the long term health affects of COVID infection on survivors?

  It's a good question. I guess here's what I'd say. Anywhere from 25 percent to 80 percent of people with COVID-19 have such mild cases that they are unaware they have the virus. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/50-percent-of-people-with-covid19-not-aware-have-virus https://www.healthline.com/health-news/50-percent-of-people-... And here's a follow up study done on severe patients with actual lung damage that showed the damage healed within 2.5 months: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-27359/v1 https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-27359/v1 Moreover, what we have to know is that organ damage is possible with any disease. People can get rheumatic heart fever from a simple strep infection. Millions of people get strep, yet millions of people don't get rheumatic fever. Organ damage is a possibility, but is a very rare complication. The simple flu you had last winter could have thrown you into the hospital and caused fibrosis, but it didn't. It's a risk with any disease.

    The simple flu doesn't last 3+ hours in the air, or 72 hours on surfaces....... If we weren't doing all this lockdown nonsense, more than 1000/day would be dead/dying in US. I'm against it, personal freedom perspective, but...the virility of this virus is undeniable.
