      I get it. You're scared. Trying to be delicate here because I don't aim to insult but you realize your ask, right? That healthy people quarantine to protect you from your previous choices (obesity being mostly non-genetic)? This is the definition of moral hazard.

      Jesus fucking wept, dude. Healthy people are getting sick, too, and suffering from sequelae that may be lifelong. The economy can be rebuilt, but people can’t come back from the dead.

      Look, of course healthy people are getting sick too. And most are healing just fine. Long covid is as yet unproven. The effects unknown but not likely to be much diff. than other respiratory viruses. I never mentioned the economy. This is about not just life but *living*...

      Bullshit The first SARS was a respiratory disease -- COVID-19 is not 12% of hospitalized patients in China came out with cardiac damage, 30% with kidney damage A cytokine storm is a known, predictable "phase 2" of COVID-19 symptoms if you survive the "phase 1" pneumonia

      Cytokine storms are not unique to covid and they occur in critically ill patients. Whats your point? They happen with many other, wait for it, *respiratory diseases* including common colds, flu, SARS, MERS, and a host of others. This is *not* indicative of "lifelong sequelae"..

      My elderly mother got flu two winters ago. Laid her up for weeks. This isnt "long flu". It just kicked her ass and took a bit to overccome. Same for me with pneumonia a few years back. I was ok after 2 weeks but not fully "right" for a few months. So it goes. Noone freaked out.

      Yes, I know, sometimes people die of serious diseases, sometimes they make a quick and full recovery, sometimes they make a slow recovery, sometimes they don't die but never fully recover The thing about a "serious" disease is if it's more serious, *all* the numbers get worse

      The idea of a hard bright line where if you don't die from it, you're guaranteed not to be damaged by it does not make actual sense It is a classic cognitive error and wishful thinking "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and other useless aphorisms

      The cognitive error is not admitting critical cases exist but are minor percentages aas Ive done. The error is your assumption that these are something akin to universal. They are not.

      Yeah I know, you think the basic ethical principle of Rawls' "veil of ignorance" (or as a much older ethicist put it, "the least of these") is an "error" That's the fundamental difference between you and me, and why I don't feel bad about calling you a selfish piece of shit

      Leaving that basic ethical difference aside, if you are going to try to make some kind of utilitarian calculation about it, the evidence is much stronger that there will be long-term sequelae than not -- the evidence you've provided that there won't is just false equivalences

          You understand there is quite a lot of evidence that SARS-CoV-2 spreads throughout the body a lot more than rhinovirus or influenza, right You can't spread a cold or flu by not washing your hands after you poop ("stomach flu" is a separate virus, not the flu)

          Someone dying of heart attack or stroke from getting a cold or flu is not common, it is extremely rare -- rare enough that no one lists heart attack as a "flu symptom" (And contrary to Trumpist conspiracy theories doctors did not change their charting to "get more COVID money")
