    Here's your fear mongering clickbait article of the day. Wow, just LOOK at that headline! Shame... linked by drudge nonetheless. I've taken to calling them the dreadreport.

    Obviously when you read the article it renders the title false. Very irresponsible.

    Don't know about taking years off someone's life, but consuming Fake News LW-MSM will definitely strip IQ points away permanently.

    Always consider the source, right?

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-star-uk/

    "Overall, we rate the Daily Star UK Questionable based on frequent use of sensational headlines, routine publication of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience, as well as a long track record with failed fact checks and fake news."

    The Daily Star is a tabloid, not a news source.

    Well, apparently if you die of Covid it will take years off your life.

    It's clear that Drudge has been selling out bit by bit just like Fox News has been doing. Both of them need to just go ahead and apply to the DNC for a patented leftist-loyal MSM license to lie.

    It's a little early to tell. We are seeing reports that survivors of Covid are showing signs of kidney trauma and blood clots.

    "Recovery" may be a bit of misnomer when it comes to Covid-19, but again, way too early tell.

    Majority of survivors of C19 don’t even see a doctor it is so mild on them. No way to have a suspension of any long term issues with them.

    The majority of ones hospitalized for C19 already had other underlying medical issues. They are the only ones that medical personnel might have indicators of long term issues related to C19. But with previous medical issues that would be a questionable thing to state at this point.

    Too early to tell, as I said.

    5 years from now, if we start seeing spikes in kidney disease, we may be able to trace things back. But again, it will
    be years before researchers will have enough data to make any determinations.

    Oh I fully expect to see it surface during the campaign this year. The attempt to gather hate towards Trump will include attempts to imply that people who did not die of C19 have long term health issues because of the “Trump Virus”.

    That is how Trump Rage works, just apply it to anything real or false..

    Wow. Back away from your keyboard. Did I mention Trump in any way, shape or form in this thread?

    This. No matter our politics, we are all equally concerned about the virus and how to stop the virus and what it's longterm impacts will be. You gave some very useful information we might not have been aware of, and you should be commended for it.

    Sure. SARS and MERS had some nasty long term consequences for some survivors. That covid would be similar is reasonable to suspect. However, that's not the focus of the article or it's title. That's all I'm highlighting here.

    About a extremely public subject. A POTUS campaign, might be more than just you commenting on it....

    “Oh I fully expect to see it surface during the campaign this year. The attempt to gather hate towards Trump will include attempts to imply that people who did not die of C19 have long term health issues because of the “Trump Virus”.

    That is how Trump Rage works, just apply it to anything real or false..”

    Where in that did you assume I was speaking about you? I was not. But like I said, if you are feeling guilty about what I implied then that is on you.

    Looks like we're taking a pretty reasonable approach... something like retailers, etc, can only operate at 25% for now. I just hope we keep the schools closed for the rest of the year. My boys are driving me batty, but I'd rather have them home for now.

    Really? Can we take 13 yrs off these researchers lives immediately? Can we hang them by their balls like Global Warming experts who predicted FL would be underwater by now? If anyone hs the guts to make these sort of predictions they better have to put up collateral if they’re wrong. I say put up their offsprings lives since by the time their predictions can be proven true or false they’ll be ****ing dead:)
