> by hiding them among good faith arguments It is literally in the HN rules that you are supposed to assume good faith, not concoct false attributions of intent and conspiracy. I did not intend to hide anything, I was earnestly asking a question (clearly shared by plenty others in this post). It should not upset you this much. I apologize for anything triggering to you that I said, that wasn't my intent. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    Question: how long does it take for that other famous disease to show the long term effects of t-cells exhaustion ?

      Are you getting at potentially unknown long term effects of COVID infection?

  What exactly does that tell you? I called you friend and apologized if I upset you (which you have acknowledged I did by comparing current strains to the original and making the judgement call that the current strains in our current situation aren't so bad... again relatively). I'm genuinely not sure what is wrong with any of that, perhaps a language barrier thing, apologies again in any case.
