Orange County FL officials held a covid press conference over the weekend. It’s health director, Dr Pino, said “for most people, about 80% of those who come in contact and develop the disease is
just a regular cold/flu-like disease.” He then goes on to explain that, as with any other illness, its the chronic health issues that will complicate matters for some individuals. This is not the first doctor or medical professional I’ve heard call it a flu or a cold.
Yet, people on here get pretty abrasive if someone were to suggest otherwise. They are adamant that this is not a cold, and this is not a flu.
After spending some time on this thread I’m learning that there’s way too much panic and hysteria being generated here. Mass graves you can see from space? Not happening. Possible reinfections? Not likely. It really seems like a number of people are parroting attention grabbing headlines as fact without corroborating anything. After tonight I’m done with this thread to save my own sanity. I’ll just use this isolation to work on my garden and not go anywhere near the internet.
