Does it?

That is the big question right now.

Some reports have said that deaths have been over reported due to people testing positive and then dying of “complications” which were just other pre-existing medical conditions.

Some report that the rate is probably less than 1%.

Even if you discard that as “agenda biased” info, there is the fact that lots of people have not been tested that have had it.

Just in my family, I have this example: my 2nd cousin(30’s) tested positive (worked at the nursing home) and brought it home to his grandparents(late 70’s) and uncle(50). They never went to the doctor and never were tested. They have all recovered. Of those four, only one was confirmed and only one recovered(officially). Another of my cousin’s wife had it and brought it home to him. He recovered without going to the doctor or being tested. So that’s another unconfirmed case with a recovery.

It is a serious and dangerous disease, but the data is flawed, IMHO.

Still, the danger to certain groups like the elderly is enough to take it seriously and to practice safe measures (masks, gloves, social distancing).

I just question how deadly it really is?

We really don’t know, it’s all estimated based on this or that.

I am definitely taking it seriously (been pretty much nowhere for two months), but I just wonder if some media is trying to scare others who are not taking it seriously.

And I am not saying one side is right or wrong, just questioning the data.

My 85 yr old father and 81 yr old mother had it and both survived.. although mom spent three days in hospital. Their 99 and 92 yr old next door neighbors also had it and both survived. Our 27 yr old daughter also had it and was pretty sick for about a week, but now she's back to work.. so there's that. Praise God!

Fauci has flipflopped back and forth on this issue so many times as to be unbelievable. He's like Cal, just loves to talk and be the center of attention. Take anything he says with a grain of salt.

I'm not suspicious of the information coming from Fauci, I'm suspicious of you. I think you have either bought into or constructed a narrative, and then reject information (or come up with excuses as to why the information can't be trusted) that might contradict your narrative. I think you have a "side" in regard to some issue or point of view, whether fully cognizant of it or not, that influences what you're going to accept as true or not - and most likely predetermines what you're going to end up accepting or believing about a good number of issues.

Well.. color me chagrined! Quite frankly, I don't care who or what you're suspicious of.
