    I know there are some other threads going around but I just can't find a good answer to this question. I hear anecdotal stories about somebody's niece's friend's boyfriend that died from covid and was a health nut but no real data to back it up. I also keep seeing articles about "healthy young people" getting intubated or dying but then when you drill into the story, you see that the person was grossly overweight. Are healthy people (people under 70 with no comorbidities and actually in good health), really being hit hard? I'm sure there are cases but can't find any actual data.

    I’m 30, great shape, when I got it I was running 50+ miles a week and just got back from an elk trip I just wrote up in another thread.

    it knocked me on my butt for 3 weeks. Ended up in the hospital with chest pains, they said I wasn’t dying and sent me home. Ran a 103 fever for 2 weeks straight.

    only thing I have in the negative column according to doctors is my BMI. I’m overweight for my height but like I told them in the army, does it really matter what I weigh if I’m doing a 290+ PT score?

    The numbers listed by the CDC are an additional 375,000 deaths last year. I've seen 600,000 also. By their own numbers that would be 0.11 or 0.2% of a 330 million population. Pandemic? About 2.8 to 3 million die each year, roughly 1% of the US population. These facts are never discussed. IMO the "vaccines" and mandates are the real bioweapon for depopulation, not the election flu set-up.

    I could fill pages and pages from all over the world. Don’t believe the narrative fed to us by the media. go out and find your own news. Everyone has an agenda. what I have learned over time is to no longer blindly follow along. Question everything and look into it for yourself. It has probably been over 100 years since it has been safe to trust our government.

    I had a thread on here about a month ago. One of my closest friends passed away last month due to Covid. He was 50, ran maybe every other day, lifted weights, was a black belt in Jiu Jitsu, did local MMA style fighting, ect.

    Those links you posted all all media, and sites and people with an agenda.

    I refuse to blindly accept them.

    And remember there can be underlying issues that arent detected because they had no reason to be tested. Some of the kids who died did so from things like undiagnosed heart conditions. Nothing in their daily lives caused them to be screened. I mean, when was the last time you had your kid take a treadmill stress test? Of course you havent. You had no reason to.

    Now something comes along that inflames a perfectly normal heart and causes fatigue and other serious but not life threatening issues. Now apply that same swelling to an undiagnosed bad heart. Its like a bad car battery. Car starts fine, so you dont think anything of it. Then there is a cold snap and now the solenoid just clicks. The battery was bad, you just didnt know it until something minor stressed it.

    Edit: Some of these kids are probably the same ones that would drop dead during a HS sporting event and have to be revived by medics on hand for the game had Covid never happened. "Gee, we never suspected an enlarged heart. He seemed so healthy"

    I wouldn't take mass media scare stories seriously. Most of the "perfectly healthy" people they showcase are as big as houses in their pictures.

    Healthy people are statistically at very little risk of actual death, but within those stats is the noise of individual variation, and the actual course and severity of the illness for people who recover is even noisier still. There is also the matter of Americans having a general culture of avoiding the doctor and not managing chronic issues. CM is absolutely right that someone can have an undiagnosed illness that has a bad interplay with the virus.

    Also, the issues with the data collection are well documented. "Perfectly healthy" gunshot and car accident victims are in the covid stats because they got tested a week before they were shot.

    But yeah I would ignore the media stories about hyper-healthy 18-year-old high school linebackers dying on vents, gasping out last desperate pleas for other people to get the vax. It's nonsense.
