Did a group of researchers just find an additional unrecognized
155,000 Covid-19 deaths? Maybe...

SUMMARY - A group of researchers using a form of artificial
intelligence estimate that as many as 155,000 unrecognized
additional Covid-19 deaths likely occurred in 2020 & 2021
outside of hospitals.

SIDE-COMMENT:
Furthermore, How do we know the same is happening now in the
present time with the count and with long covid?
We can't even know for sure what catching covid does to a person
ten years later. So many questions as this is still a relatively
novel disease. So much more remains to be known. Covid can kill
silently and indirectly so I don't see how we can even come
close to an accurate count of all the hidden ways covid brings
on heart attacks and weakens immune systems etc.....Covid can do
so much damage as a catalyst as simply contributing to weaken
the immune system... Is long covid even considered a factor that
leads to death when these counts are being conducted. No doubt
'Long covid's' afteraffects are probably underestimated and is
killing on a major scale and being unaccounted for as we type
this.
Personally its way to presumptuous to declare this the end to
the pandemic when you consider long covid could be worse than
the initial infection even if they be considered 'mild'
infections for the majority.
I say the long term repercussions of some of these diseases we
carry are worse than the the short term initial infections. We
don't even know if several generations will get dementia sooner
in life for having caught these 'mild' covid infections. We
don't know what having caught covid in youth will do to people
as they age.
Insofar as those who say "covid isn't as dangerous as it used to
be" I say this "How do ya know because time has to pass to know
the long term repercussions of any disease...there is just no
way of knowing or proving covid is harmless to catch until time
passes.. this is impossible to know..there's something called
the 'test of time' and that has yet to come.". A new disease
came onto the scene and some people think they know how it's
going to play out. Those are 'know it alls'. I personally don't
sugar coat it and have no idea what will happen with covid and
if those infected with covid or those who continue to get
infected will face far worse days ahead as the years go by. It's
a disease and has been proving to carry long term repercussions
beyond what was expected or wished for.
For all we know some day people may refer to covid as the
'gateway disease' because it may have opened up the gate to
heart attacks, dementia, sugar diabetes, decline in immune
system.. etc.. You never know what's in store which is why I say
the pandemic isn't over because we can't know while we are still
in the process of processing it all! We certainly are in trouble
with long covid mutations, ramifications, & repercussions while
they are still in the making and are still happening and time
hasn't played out yet. Those factors aren't over. We aren't
there yet.
"It took over 50 years for the world to formally recognize
cigarettes were deadly, moving from initial scientific
suspicions in the 1920s to firm scientific consensus and public
warnings by the early 1960s
. While research began early, massive disinformation campaigns
by tobacco companies delayed widespread public acceptance until
the 1964 U.S. Surgeon General’s report."
"In the United States, the majority of adult men (over 50%)
smoked cigarettes from the 1930s to the mid-1960s, with overall
adult smoking prevalence peaking at over 40% (including women)
around
1964. Cigarette consumption was at its highest between 1944 and
1974, with over 40% of all U.S. adults smoking."
Asking people if they think covid is dangerous or if catching
covid has any serious longterm health repercussions 7-50 years
from now is akin to asking people if cigarettes are safe when
cigarettes first came out in history... what's the difference
breathing carcinogens with every so many breaths or catching a
respiratory virus know one really knows what they are doing..
It's called a bunch of people wanting everything to be okay no
matter what... I personally don't know what covid will do to
those it has infected or if today's infections are safe to
endure like a cold... I have my doubts because of the long covid
studies and research indicating long covid is real. I have a
feeling people who said covid was safe will regret that some day
like those who regret ever having had a cigarette.
ha! wondered if they ever called people crazy for saying
cigarettes are bad for ya? So is a guy crazy for saying covid is
probably bad for ya because its a disease and that some research
studies indicate that a giant percentage of people who get covid
go on to suffer long term health repercussions and it's only
been 6 years? when science tells a group of people something is
bad for them but they do it anyway succumbing to peer pressure
like using tobacco its crazy... Its crazy not to fear or respect
a novel disease... Its crazy not to mask!
...considering the general public's mindset for many decades
about smoking cigarettes, do you think the general public of
today can accept that diseases such as covid might have long
term repercussions and prove to be harmful for their health and
do you think the general public will ever accept the idea that
they should have worn a mask to prevent airborne illnesses and
airborne diseases? Do people nowadays know more about light,
mild or medium light covid than they did for fifty years about
cigarettes?
Do you know how long it took the world to accept black lung as a
diseases...
"evidence linked coal dust to lung disease as early as the 19th
century, it took
over a century for the public and authorities to formally
recognize and act on the danger. The disease was not officially
understood and widely accepted by the US industry/public until
the late 1960s, leading to the Federal Coal Mine Health and
Safety Act of 1969.
There was asbestos poisoning for quite some time and in even
for me I worked around guys briefly that put Sheetrock up.. I
was sort of warned even by them that years of sheet rock dust
could kill ya like it did their dads...
...If it is in the people's favor to downplay the dangers of
covid and long covid they will just make up whatever they want
believe before it even stands the test of time.. its not a bad
comparison cigarettes and covid.. the initial infection of covid
makes people feel really sick for a few days just like that
first cigarette seems to usually make a the person sick.. people
pat them on the back and say you'll be alright.. that first
cigarette lays makes everybody sick, then they offer them
another smoke and they go on for years smoking until lung cancer
or something occurs... it is very rare that the first cigarette
actually kills a person but over time ultimately cigarettes
often do kill people or at least cause great damage which leads
to death.
Ya think the world is ready to accept there might be serious
long term repercussions from having covid when it takes them
this long to recognize black lung and cigarette smoke is bad
for them? Black lung affected coal miners & chimney sweepers and
tobacco affects cigarette smokers and those around secondhand
smoke while covid is a contagious diseases that affects entire
populations. Think about how long it takes the general public to
quit working in the coal mines of West Virginia or to give up
their cigarettes. Do you think the general public or even
general healthcare can foresee or accept what covid might do to
them or that long covid even exists? Ever stood up to a guy and
tell him to put his cigarette out? I have and it often can
escalate to violence & physical fights breaking out. That's what
we are up against when asking others to protect themselves.
Each to their own , but I don't smoke tobacco or drink alcohol.
I care about my health and I want to minimize suffering in my
life. I guess I am a big baby. I don't like to suffer and I
especially don't like to risk long term suffering . I haven't
caught any contagious illness in over 6 years because of
masking. I currently don't have any covid nor have I caught any
contagious airborne diseases or illnesses probably because
I wear a mask for my health,
