So let's look at https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/heal...s-to-the-lungs

Quote:
COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, can cause lung complications such as pneumonia and, in the most severe cases, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. Sepsis, another possible complication of COVID-19, can also cause lasting harm to the lungs and other organs.
Again, this is simply statistical malpractice. We are testing sick people. Because of the sample bias, we cannot generalize. If I tested people in a hospital I could easily 'prove' statistically that blonde people have a 35% chance of cancer. Now, if after reading about COVID if you think 'I don't need to see a tiger kill 10 people and develop statistical confidence' that's fine. Just be aware that you cannot rationally claim that the person next to you who is saying 'Sorry, I don't believe your dance caused that thunderstorm' is unscientific or unethical.

Also, these videos by Ryan Long are straight up hilarious: Defined by Trump and Woke/Racist and Selling footage to both CNN and Fox. Sadly I went full black pill after Trump enthusiastically campaigned for a COVID bailout that went almost entirely to the 1% (RIP Trump Keeps Winning), and now I think the most important thing to realize is that the vast majority of people live in an outrage bubble that has been carefully generated to keep us under control. Your neighbor is not the primary source of evil in your life. The system is. And you don't fix it by aggressively tearing it down, you fix it by passively opting out: stop watching the news, grow your own food, homeschool your kids, etc. Satyagraha for the modern world.
