Throwing prednisone, et all at stuff is like prescribing antibiotics for stuff without diagnosing a specific bacterial infection. |

Did you just compare a preventative measure such as the flu shot to a treatment approach such as an antibiotic? I mean................ 1. I hope you understand why the flu vaccine needs to be given annually? Also, if you can answer that then you also know that not getting the flu in the past is NOT a predictor of avoiding the flu in the future. 2. A flu shot helps reduce the chance of infection by around 40-50%. Since there are relatively little complications from the flu shot, why would you not simply get the flu shot to decrease your chances of getting the flu for not only yourself, but also spreading it to your family? 3. A flu shot does not provide full immunity but can absolutely lessen your symptoms if you do get the flu. Studies have shown that around 75% of those who die from the flu each year did not get a flu shot. 4. Given current COVID knowledge and past research with the flu, some asymptomatic spread may be present. Vaccinating as many community members as possible could provide a greater herd immunity, which is especially important for those who may be unable to get the flu shot such as those who are allergic, some individuals who are immunocompromised and some with neurological disorders (Guillain-Barré syndrome). 5. Flu shots are extremely safe. 6. GET THE ****ING FLU SHOT. |

My anecdotal report is I was diagnosed with this shit, and continued to run multiple miles a day. Also I’m continuing to run multiple miles a day with no time lost of my normal pace. So hopefully the reports of long lasting damage is a small portion of people. |

That's good to hear. Also out of all the pro athletes who have gotten it, most seem fine. But they're also world class athletes in their 20s and 30s.

Another new hypothesis regarding Covid19: bradykinin storms (I'll admit, I don't know the first thing about bradykinin, but found the article really interesting...
