It's bad, real bad over there; There is a rising incidence in patients appearing to be doing ok with relatively mild symptoms, then after a week or two suddenly deteriorating, cough, vomit, bleed, die. That's new, do we have a breakout strain on our hands.
Well we havn't really finished first wave antics yet, the media have been calling the resurgences as 2nd/3rd waves, these are just lockdowns and re spreading of the similar strains of the original virus. Delta has the same MO as the original, just spreads faster. These are just small issues compared to if the virus adapts and decides it wants to become aggressive and attack more vigorously to survive. During the Spanish flu the true second wave was far more deadly and vigorous and attacked the young and healthy. Again the downside of letting a nasty virus run free, it allows greater chance for both worse or less deadly strains to mutate. The more spread the more chance of mutation for good or bad, then you leave it up to lady luck for survival.

Come on guys back to pages & pages of endless stats to bluff the sheeple -) I enjoy reading the numbers waiting to die of this wildly infectious disease that will kill you, well according to the lunatic Andrews that is!-)
I know you probably don't care, but that statement just rubs **** in the face of the families that have actually lost loved ones through no fault of their own.

“The United States’ Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had received 1,226 reports of myocarditis following 296 million doses of mRNA vaccinesadministered up to June 11. This equates to a risk of roughly one in 240,000 doses. These cases were mostly in young men and predominantly occurred after the second dose.
Not saying in regard to the general public, just to this particular individual. The chance of Myocarditis is very low, however this guy may have had an underlying condition making him susceptible to it, therefore both covid and the Pfizer vaccine could trigger a problem or death in this one individual. A recent observational study focused on 12-18 years olds in particular found a much greater proportion had Myocarditis after second dose, also underlying from even mild covid exposure. Not necessarily causing death, but there is definitely something in that male age group in the USA that makes them far more likely to get it.

Myocarditis is the inflammation of the heart muscle, it swells and causes complications. If it becomes acute then similar to a heart attack can leave scarring on the heart, which may not have immediate consequences but will reduce the lifespan of the individual and complications as the heart ages. Basically you can lose large parts of your heart muscle to scaring and still live, however your maximum physical activity reduces and continues to reduce as the heart ages. This in turn means you are more susceptible to anything that stresses the body.
