Some People Get Covid-19 and Never Feel a Thing: Why?

>"According to various estimates, between 20 and 45 percent of the people who get Covid-19 — and possibly more, according to a recent study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — sail through a coronavirus infection without realizing they ever had it. No fever or chills. No loss of smell or taste. No breathing difficulties. They don’t feel a thing."

PDS: Which leads to the inevitable philosophical question -- is a virus really a virus if it doesn't do anything?

And by extension, is a pandemic really a pandemic? If most people aren't suffering from the effects usually associated with pandemics?

You know, what's interesting is that up until this point in world history -- we've never called Cancer, AIDS, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Drunk Driving, World Hunger, Massive Unemployment/Job Loss, Poverty, Inequality, Racism, Alcohol Addiction, Crime, Terrorism, Social Unrest, Opioid Addiction, Illegal Immigration, Global Warming, World Wars, and the threat of (possibly immediate!) Nuclear Annihilation, or just plain Old Age -- "pandemics".

Perhaps what something is, or isn't -- is all in the languaging...

You know, there are whole industries (employing huge numbers of people!) that have sprang up around just creating problems for other people...

As in, they make money, actual money(!), and lots of it, when other people have problems...

Including (but not limited to!) News Media, Polticians, Lawyers, Medical Cartels, some factions of some Governments, and some Corporations/Big Businesses...

Prove to me that you don't have a vested interest in the outcome of anything you report -- and I'll consider what you have to say.

Otherwise, you're a shill for one complex or another, adding to the cacophony of crap (AKA fake news/false information/disinformation/lies/propaganda/fraud/misrepresentation/sophistry) out there...

The virus evolved this way, it’s all natural selection. Silent and contagious is ideal for reproduction and survival. Covid-19’s problem for its long-term survival is that it does kill.

The "dose" multiplies by itself when inside you, so that's not it...

>PDS: Which leads to the inevitable philosophical question -- is a virus really a virus if it doesn't do anything?

Yes. A virus is a specific RNA/DNA structure, not the outward symptoms of an illness or ailment.

>And by extension, is a pandemic really a pandemic? If most people aren't suffering from the effects usually associated with pandemics?

Imagina a virus with similar spread, where 70% of the population are to get it (if left unsupervised, no lockdown, etc).

Now say it's even better than this one, in that 90% of them will feel nothing, 9% will have some minor/medium symptoms, but 1% will get serious life-long issues or die.

That gives 2,5 million people in the US with serious issues / death. It very qualifies as a pandemic - considering flu kills about 60-70K every year...

I'm not saying that Covid will reach those numbers (though it might). I'm saying that, never mind, 40-50%, even a virus where 90% people have no symptoms can kill tons of people...

Evolved, because if it was engineered, they did a really shitty job of it.

1) The virus spreads to everybody, not a selected target group

2) The virus doesn't propagate that well for a virus--you have to get a pretty solid bolus directly via droplets. So, it mostly spreads by people being stupid--not wearing masks and attending large groups. Admittedly, that's a much larger group than I would have ever predicted, but I always underestimate human stupidity.

3) The virus isn't particularly fatal but also doesn't have an easy treatment. If it were engineered, you would want some easy way of treating it for your own important populace.

4) Coronavirii mutate quickly enough that you would eventually lose control of it in the wild.

If you really want to go down the conspiracy theory route, a much better theory would be that it was a virus that was being researched that escaped by an "Oops."
