Rant... you can’t fix stupid

 I thought the Goven mentioned was gong to ban "Tick Talk" but here we are.

IMO there is only one version of the 'Rona, because the person who came into work sick and gave it to me had many symptoms, and I had Zero(also known as none, "0", zilch, nada).  The difference between her and It is likely not even in my control, but I like to think its because I take care of my immune system(zinc, vitamin C/D).

Anyone who has looked at the numbers of sick/deaths could see that unlike the "spanish flu" this disproportionately attacks the very elderly and the immuno-compromised.  It makes considerably more sense for the people at high risk to quarantine/isolate, and the healthy people to GET the virus so it can burn through the population.

How so?  

Thousands get bitten by ticks....and a few die, or get extremely ill.

Thousands get infected with Covid.....and a few die, or get extremely ill.   

Relating the infection to the amount of severe reaction isn't really THAT insane, is it?   If everyone in the country played in the woods equally then the numbers would likely be parallel.   

Valid point.  Obvious difference is,  we can choose to play in the woods, or not.   Those who are infected with tick born diseases are not able to transmit the disease.  

 

But, I do understand the logic.

That’s why it’s not logical. 
Please don’t encourage him.🤣🤣

Just heard on the radio that getting the rona could have long term effects on men, potentially causing E.D.  Some of you don’t need to worry, but you others better start wearing your mask.

Actually now that I think about it, his theory makes more sense.  If your high risk, stay home.

My sister and her husband both had it.  Their only symptoms were a day or so of feeling lethargic, and losing their senses of taste & smell for a day or so.  She said people with Type O- blood don't seem to be bothered as much by the virus.  I'm not O-...

It makes absolutely no sense on how the two diseases spread.  One tick isn't going to spread Lyme disease or RMSF to more than one person.  Put it this way, for 10 people to get Lyme disease or RMSF, there has to be 10 ticks since ticks die shortly after they fall off and won't bite twice.  For 10 people to get COVID19, there only has to be 1 person that has it to give it to the rest.  And then those 10 people can spread it to 10 more people each for 100 people, and those 100 people can spread it to 10 more each for 1000 people, etc.  It really is apples to oranges.

The only similarity is if you walk into the woods that contains no ticks you won't get a tick bite.  Same as if you walk into a store and no one inside isn't infected with COVID19 you aren't going to get COVID19.
