Here's the deal, COVID is devastating for a small percentage of the population. With a population of 360 million, a small percentage is still a big number. For a slightly higher percentage, COVID is a medical problem (ie requires medical care). For most, it is a common cold or less.
The heart deal is likely overblown because we haven't looked at it closely in other conditions. In other words, it is possible many illnesses have an effect on the heart.
The fact that we are calling positives based on a PCR test at 37 to 40 cycles is baffling. Now they call them detected vs undected rather than positive or negative. That's a direct effect of not knowing cycle number vs biological relevance even though policy is driven by number of positive or detected cases. HUGE PROBLEM. Should be criminal and investigated but i don't think most understand the significance of that.
I've known 3 families that have had it. In 1, the Male was hospitalized and recovered; the female had very minor symptoms. In the second family, four had virtually no symptoms and the dad had to have a lung transplant. In the third family, 2 were hospitalized and recovered; 3 had no symptoms; 1 died.
All were predictable based on medical history. It is damn near criminal that we aren't using epidemiological data and science to navigate our response to the virus. That and calling 37 or 40 cycles positive (now detected) needs to be brought before Congress.
