The survival rate of the virus is 99,7%...
? Research Wanted ?
...what's the survival rate of the vaccine? Not the survival rate of the virus after the vaccine, the survival rate of the actual vaccine.
CDC says 99.987% I believe. And that's with all the fudging of the numbers/tests etc. Who knows what the actual figure is. And that's the # for everyone. If you're older or have health issues it's slightly lower, if you're young and healthy it's higher. For my age and health status it would be almost impossible for me to die from COVID. My 95 year old grandmother survived it just fine. Wasn't even that bad for her.
The thing is, we don't know if someone really has a covid-19 infection when they are tested as "positive" for covid-19! One of my thoughts is that covid-19 really is pretty deadly, but because so many people just have a regular flu, or maybe even a cold, and test positive for covid-19, it makes the lethality appear to be lower. Unfortunately, we don't know what the truth is.
I think my sister and her family really had it. One of the things that seems to separate COVID from the normal flu is the loss of taste/smell. All 5 of them had some weirdness with their taste/smell. My sister lost hers completely for months. I saw her this last weekend and she mentioned that she doesn't think her sense of smell has fully returned. We were outside in her hottub and one of her neighbors was smoking. We could all smell the cigarette smoke, but she couldn't. She normally has a super strong sense of smell. Even better than mine.
She knows tons of ppl that had the same thing happen when COVID seemed to go through their neighborhood in November. Her and her family are all young and healthy, so they said it was like a bad cold/mild flu except for the weird smell/taste thing.
Yes, when it comes to certain symptoms, it seems that covid has some unique ones. It is the test that I think is identifying regular flu and cold as covid. (and I hope my wife doesn't get it, because she's the only one who can smell a lot of things in our house now :) )
