In this clip from the Downing Street Corona Briefing on May 11th 2020, Chris Whitty - the UK's Chief Medical Officer - says that, to most people, the coronavirus is entirely harmless.

By the way, the channel you linked to is affiliated with anti-vax NWO fuckwits. You should seek reality-based information sources instead.

and the deaths continue to increase.

- but we still need to vaccinate vulnerable people if we want to avoid massive unnecessary deaths.
I'm one of those hapless saps who needs a flu shot every year. I've still not fully recovered from the lung damage after effects from flu I got a few years ago, despite my vaccine.
Surviving a respiratory illness can still be pretty shit, even if you don't need hospital treatment.

But wasn't this before they realised there are several long-term side effects?

Surely damage mounts up over time.

reckons that most likely repeat infections are actually the same infection that didn't go away fully.

Doesn't make you any less of the Dunning-Kruger effect incarnate, but it's a refreshing change.

If you consider that they have been keen until the last couple of days to make it very clear that the vaccine is for vulnerable groups and those over 50, that's still carnage.
If you are seriously ill, needing hospitalisation, there's that risk of organ damage left needing treatment for the rest of their lives.
If you are in hospital, you are usually having kidney and clot issues in addition to your lungs becoming increasingly fucked.

I'm sure you'll be fine. According to this clip from a spokesman of a country that's handled the virus ever so well there's a better than average chance you won't die horribly drowning in your own phlegm as you struggle for your last breath

Go fuck yourself.
From The Lancet: COVID-19 is not influenza
"The studies by Piroth and colleagues and others clearly show that the risk groups are those with common conditions, specifically diabetes, obesity, and hypertension, and older people. Therefore, it is the responsibility of all of us to prevent spread of COVID-19. Physical distancing and the use of face masks is obligatory for all of us until we have a vaccine rolled out for major parts of the population. We should know that we can be infected and can spread the virus without having symptoms, and therefore the rules apply to all."
It's not about the impact on yourself. It's the impact you can have on others. I know you probably don't give a shit about others, but I don't want to be the one to subject my own parents to a horrible death with a disease I could easily not give them by just being a decent fucking human being.

would be harmless for the vast majority of them.

The standard magazine capacity is 30 rounds, and unless you are a particularly good shot the chances of you killing 30 people would be quite low. At a guess maybe half that number, maybe less but you would injure at least that number possibly more due to the energy velocity and range of the rifle. (and type of ammo used) #gungeek
