People who have had transplants or chemo or radiation therapy for cancer are very at risk. His doctor told us that what happens is that it causes double viral pneumonia and it literally shreds the lung tissues. Just being placed on a ventilator for any period of time has it's own inherent risks. One of my husbands friends spent 8 weeks in a rehab center after being released from the hospital. He just got home last week and he's still on oxygen for 24 hours a day. This is a man who had been extremely healthy but who had been treated for liver cancer. The cancer was gone but then he contracted Covid. He's 62 years old. So it has caused a lot of problems for a great many people, but to say this is a worldwide hoax when so many have suffered is a bit ludricous. We know of others who've had it with no problems at all. j

Hi num1camp,
Please accept my most sincere condolences for your husband's illness. I pray that he completely recovers.
We're continually surrounded by deadly health risks. Probability lies with your having staph on you skin at this very moment. A portal on your skin could allow opportunistic staph to invade your circulatory system possibly resulting in death. Our mouths contain over 300 species of bacteria some of which could be fatal if they were to enter our circulatory system. TB is prevalent in the USA. You could stand in a grocery store checkout line next to a TB infected person. Living a normal life involves risk.
But health risks are not my basis for concern. One of my undergrads is in history. I've taken many upper division courses in US history. The country we live in does not resemble the country created by our incredibly brilliant Founding Fathers. I see none of their core tenets in operation within our federal government. Depending upon source, the USA ranks 27 on the world freedom index. Other sources have us ranked lower. In essence, the United States of America has transitioned in to a Third World banana republic where elections are routinely rigged, justice is bought and sold, coup d'états occur with predictable regularity depending upon caprice of ruling elites, and we now exist in a de facto, government created caste system in which laws used to intimidate and control the unwashed masses do not apply to the Jeffery Epsteins, Comeys, Brennans, Bidens, etc. A substantial core tenet of our Founding Fathers was rule of law: no one was above the law. We now have a two-tier justice system in which our ruling elite is above the law.
Like a fool, I supported Bush 43's
Patriot Act. I should have read it before deciding. The
Patriot Act is not about protecting us from terrorism. It gave governmental agents authority to invade our privacy with virtually no just cause. Bush 43 used the classic propaganda tactic of fear of an illusory enemy to sell the destruction of Americans' rights and liberties. We haven't been the land of the free since 1913.
Illness, whether real or fear of, must never be causal of destruction of our Constitutional rights. Should I be given authority to force anyone to wear a face mask because I have a bad cold that I want to prevent from becoming pneumonia?
We do not quarantine the healthy.
num1scamp, there was an ulterior motive to create fear among Americans of a disease that has a statistically insignificant mortality rate. It could be our economy that has one foot on a banana peel and the other over the precipice of financial collapse. Our secured debt is at least 30 trillion bucks, assuming Biden's reckless and dangerous fiscal policy is approved. Our unsecured debt (promises to pay) push our debt burden to over 200 trillion bucks, an amount for which we'll never be good. In essence, we're destroying ourselves via reckless, profligate spending.
If JFK's murder proved anything, it proved that the president of the united states is not the most powerful person in America. And that's why our uniparty system feared President Trump. He was destroying their illusion of a sovereign nation. He was returning the United States of America to We the People from whom it was stolen.
num1scamp, we exist within a country with a totalitarian governmental construct complemented with mercantist economic construct. Our rulers confiscate our money and hand it over to their homeboys. Their homeboys become phenomenally rich and We the People become poorer. Covid caused the biggest wealth transfer in American history. Interest on our secured debt is about 400 billion bucks. American taxpayers foot the bill for our secured debt interest payments. That 400 billion bucks goes into pockets of our ruling elite.
If our Constitutional rights are not absolute, then they're merely privileges subject to interpretation and caprice of our rulers.
