Re: What's your chance of hospitalization if infected with COVID?

The largest sample size of the survey participated in July 2020 during a month when COVID cases had doubled and there was still a lot of uncertainty about the transmissibility of the virus. If the survey were done in 2021 the results would undoubtedly be different. Ajax is saying these were from March 2021 because he's a lying idiot who is too lazy to read the sources.

The survey question doesn't ask "What's your chance" of hospitalization as ajax falsely claims. The question asks “What percentage of people who have been infected by the coronavirus needed to be hospitalized?” This question could be interpreted different ways. Does one "need" to be hospitalized for quarantining purposes? Because that was the only way it was handled in the beginning. During the first months of the pandemic virtually everyone we heard about getting the virus was also hospitalized, but it doesn't mean they were having complications with it.

In the early stages of the pandemic when testing was scarce we knew very little about how easily the virus was transmitted and even less about why some people have complications and others don't. So what if some people thought it was more infectious than it was? Better to err on the side of caution than be one of these Republican idiots which the same survey blasted for their ignorance:

"those who deny asymptomatic spread or believe the flu or auto accidents are more deadly than COVID-19 are much less likely to wear a mask or isolate themselves from non-household members, according to our survey results."

Morons. But of course, ajax doesn't talk about that.

I have never believed that nonsense, and have kept up the the science all along, nor has the mainstream media I subscribe to promoted such lies.
Really, so why do you think so many Democrats believed that you have a 50% chance of being hospitalized if you get COVID in this survey taken in March 2021?

They don't, you're misrepresenting the question. But why do so many Republicans think more people die from the flu than COVID? Because you're ignorant mouth breathers who believe Tucker Carlson tells the truth.

The survey was based on data collected last year, not from questions answered two months ago.

"These were among the considerations that motivated Franklin Templeton to partner with Gallup and launch the Economics of Recovery Study. Starting with a survey of 10,000 U.S. adults in July and 5,000 each month through December, we have sought to better understand what is happening during the pandemic, better anticipate what is likely to unfold, and inform public policy along the way."

It helps to read the actual study instead of reading opinion pieces about what someone thinks it means.

I came across this subreddit today, and thought Xanax might feel at home there. For the rest of us, it’s stupid awesome.

The media/Democrats wanted the economy handcuffed and stifled as a means to force tax and spend socialism upon those who opposed it. This was achieved by bullying and condemning those who continued to go to work as murderers and whipping up a frenzy at fear of how many people would be left permanently disabled due to COVID infection. A year later, 99% of us are still alive and healthy but only $8 trillion poorer with an accelerating national debt and a Democrat in office.
Your orange moron of a President murdered a couple hundred thousand Americans by spreading disinformation about the dangers of COVID and bragging about imaginary cures. He held super spreader events that killed many of his followers, including Herman Cain. If the country had actually treated the pandemic the way Trump wanted, we'd be well over a million dead already. The only think that has kept the deaths below 600k in the first year is the guidance from Democrats and the CDC who insist on following science over baseless mantra.

Face it dumbass, you were wrong about this virus from day one. You said it was a hoax. Then you said it wasn't really dangerous. Then you said few people were dying from it. Then you said the flu was more dangerous. Then you said it was cured as early as last Spring. Nearly 600 thousand dead and you're still pushing the big lies about the virus.

It doesn't appear like ajax wrote a single thought of his own in this thread. Every single post of his sounds like something regurgitated from another idiot.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

This was a global scamdemic. And the globalist oligarchs are still scamming people today.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Yes, you would be stupid enough to believe that the hundreds of thousands of corpses is just a figment of our imaginations.

Are you going to explain why you intentionally misrepresented this study and ignored the survey parts that prove Republicans are ignorant mouth breathers? Nah, didn't think so. That would require testicles and a spine.

Xanax,

Do you believe the Evergreen cargo ship was or is full of trafficked children?

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

Ajax, you're just blowing off steam. You covered yourself and got the vaccine. You got it before I did! You believe in it. You're just angry. No, it wasn't because your employer "made you do it". That's an easy excuse. They sign the cards first and you could have easily made off with the card and avoided the vaccine.

I had to go in for a knee surgery. They told me they couldn't do it because my PCR test for COVID was positive. That's the only way I'd have had any inkling that I had COVID. I was completely asymptomatic. I had no reason to fear COVID nor the vaccine. The only thing for most people to fear was lost wages due to a positive test result. I had a black patient yesterday who lost several months of work and wages because the stupid PCR test kept coming back positive even though he as well was completely asymptomatic.

Yes 600,000 people died from COVID. While it's hard to trust those numbers, that's the not the scam. The scam was how the media and the Democrat party used this to meet their own political agenda. The scam was the home foreclosures, exhausted savings, lost wages, and repossessed vehicles due to a virus that had a 99.96% survival rate. What's even worse is that as a result of our overpopulated planet, we're going to have more viruses arise and the globalists oligarchs will use them to their advantage once again. At least the bubonic plague ultimately helped the peasants demand higher wages.
