looking at the breakdown of deaths, they are largely skewed towards 60 years old and up.

The cat is out of the bag, so to speak and the known cases are multiplying at frighteningly rapid rates. It is almost everywhere in the world now, with a very high mortality rate.

Besides the obvious health implications, this could have a big effect on the world economy. With large portions of China on lockdown, exports will be strained and as we all know, it is hard to find an article of clothing or any item for that matter made in North America. Retail and other service jobs such as restaurants and truck transport are such huge parts of our economy if people stay home and transport slows down (ie.people are afraid to fly, eat out or go to stores) we could be in for a rough ride.
This was my response the Bae’s initial warning about how big this was going to be 18 months ago. I have not posted on a very long time as I was pretty disgusted with some of the comments. how dare people not care that children are getting sick. That people have died and many have long covid. That people won’t get the shot because some politician or Internet or TV fraudster has put doubts in their mind.
fast onward to today. I was hospitalized with bacterial pneumonia early this summer. The ambulance took me to a hospital with no Covid patients and yet they still allowed no visitors in the ER and very restricted visitors once I was admitted. I had gotten the pneumonia vaccine but it was a bacteria my body was not able to fight against. I don’t remember the first three days at all, but was able to get out of the hospital in a week. It has taken months and I am still not fully recovered. You know what the nurses told me? They were so happy when they saw it wasn’t Covid. They were so burnt out from having multiple patients die a day and they could not even get a patient to the morgue fast enough there were so many patients waiting for a bed.
fast forward to now, I still have some difficulty breathing but can do almost everything I did before, just sometimes not as quickly. I am alive and expected to improve more. There has been a psychological toll on me.

so as a high risk individual living in The Covid capital of the world, Florida I’m going to post next what it is like here now.
