How do you expect people to respond to this comment exactly?
"Oh, okay, lots of people have herpes and herpes infections have unanticipated consequences. I guess COVID-19 is no big deal."
- roenxi 6y agoHerpes has serious long term health implications and it is no big deal. Covid having serious long term health implications does not, in and of itself, mean it is a big deal. Long term health problems are a fact of life. If people are going to argue it is a big deal, they need to articulate their concerns more precisely.
- nomoreservices 6y agoWe don't see health care systems collapsing due to herpes infections. Look at what's happening in Florida, Texas, Arizona with COVID-19.

- dragonwriter 6y ago> Health care systems are furloughing workers because there are not enough patients. Sure, for routine care because people are avoid healthcare environments because of the risk of COVID-19. At the same time, the same systems are unable to deal with critical needs because ICU beds and other related critical resources that COVID-19 puts a high demand on are exhausted in some localities and nearly exhausted statewide in the worst hit areas.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI'm not sure why you're being so aggressive about it. The original comment asked why the long-term effects of COVID-19 were seemingly being ignored, and your parent comment responded with an explanation of why some people are comfortable ignoring them.
