Media Cody Garbrandt suffering from long covid effects

You can't compare an infectious disease with things like heart disease and cancer. If those are your analogies, we aren't engaging in an appropriate conversation. And while covid didn't shut down the economy, it forced governments all over the world to shut it down. Not sure what you are implying by that statement. I get closing the economy has costs and will impact millions, but so would Covid not closing, you aren't a position to tell me which is worse, but there are appropriately informed agencies running those cost benefits. As for the morality rate, many people tired of Covid like to discuss low mortality rates, but don't like to discuss long-term effects and rates related to the impact of those effects. You've taken the opposite extreme over fear mongering, you are being dismissive to the extreme. And breathing fresh air isn't restricted, you're welcome to do that under the current restrictions.

People never discuss the long term effects of influenza either.

That quote that you have extrapolated to all of society and the general population was one where he was talking about wanting to re-open high schools, and is specifically referencing the 14 - 18 year old demographic.

Also, since suicide rates and statistics won't be available for they year 2020 until late 2021, at the earliest, it's pretty safe to say his claims in that regard lack a certain factual component to them. And, yes, experts within the field have criticized him for advocating political policy above the medical science.

The claim that the talk about the dangers of famine being due to lockdown measures, and somehow wouldn't be there if the virus was allowed to run wild, but people weren't locked down is a pretty fucking wild leap on your part.

You seem to specialize in taking out of context quotes and making wildly unsubstantiated extrapolations with them.

I was asking why you think the fact that you have a mild case is relevant to a larger discussion about whether the virus is a serious problem or not.

Ah man don't get me started on covid sceptics. "oh it's just a flu, people die from flus. The Spanish killed millions. He's an athlete, he'll be fine" lol morons.

Exceptions prove the rule. I'm curious though just how "healthy" alot of these fighters are. The constant physical damage they take, in cage and during training. The sweat, dirt and grime when your rolling around on a mat with like 30 other dudes. Then there's the weight cut's. We dont even know what kind of damage they do. Most of them have had staph multiple times, off season drug use etc.
 
Buncha morons in here.
  • "Brain fog" is very common amongst people who've suffered from Covid-19 and as of now, it looks like Covid-19 decreases IQ, because it attacks the brain.
  • You're not necessarily safe from more severe conditions of the virus just because you're young and fit. A german wrestler who was about to compete in the olympics also caught it and his respiratory performance decreased by 20%.
  • There are young people who got Covid-19 and had speech impediments afterwards and started to stutter.
  • Saying it's no big deal because you got over it despite being unathletic is on the same intellectual level as saying smoking isn't a big deal because you haven't got cancer yet.

I had Covid and was pretty much asymptomatic.


And pretty sure the mental fog has a lot to do with CTE and him not being very smart in the first place.

The brain fog is actually a very common symptom amongst Covid-19 patients, even amongst young ones.
There are reports of people who startef stuttering and had trouble speaking after getting sick from it.

Dude, agreed. Just because cause one is a high performing athlete doesn't mean their immune system is bulletproof. Like you said the number of staph infeftions etc. Just wish people would take covid more seriously. Just because vicente luque beat it, doesn't mean every Tom, dick and harry can recover from it. Also doesn't mean every mma fighter's "got it like that". I'm not surprised to hear about Cody. It was only a matter of time still something like this happned.

There are two kinds of science denialists in this pandemic. First, those who underplay the gravity of the effects and dangers of the virus. Second, those who underplay the effects that economic stagnation has on lives and health.

The majority is caught in one of the two, because of squarely political inflections. The only serious non-science denialist is one that avoids both underplayings, and integrates analysis of the virus' effects to economic ones. We should listen to doctors and virologists, but also to economists and sociologists.

Yes, the virus has not only lethal but oftentimes long term health effects. Yes, economic stagnation causes death indexes to rise and potentiates physical and health issues. The two are correlated in complex ways insofar as enforcing mass preventative measures against the virus leads to economic effects for a variety of reasons, and these in turn have health and social effects, e.g. incapacity to work, depression from losing work/isolation, etc.

To produce a comprehensive comparative model that factors in all the available data is quite complicated.

You looked at the same issue from two points of view. That is a sign of intelligence. You don't belong on sherdog.
