Being fit and healthy isn't stopping people getting covid and having lasting respiratory issues.

I'd rather being able to deal with any "Lasting issues" than death...

Here’s a thought for ya.
Covid is really only a symptom of the much bigger problem that is global warming.
Discuss.

At this stage I say F#$€ global warming/climate change.

How about no, this isn't a global warming thread.

Interesting Harvard paper:
https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/c-change/subtopics/coronavirus-and-climate-change/

In which the question asked is:
How likely are we to see infectious disease spread as a result of climate change?

The answer being:
Climate change has already made conditions more favorable to the spread of some infectious diseases, including Lyme disease, waterborne diseases such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus which causes vomiting and diarrhea, and mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. Future risks are not easy to foretell, but climate change hits hard on several fronts that matter to when and where pathogens appear, including temperature and rainfall patterns. To help limit the risk of infectious diseases, we should do all we can to vastly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees

Why don't they tell us how many of the cases are asymptomatic? The contact tracers ask if you have had symptoms so it's wouldn't be too hard to provide the data

The death rate is much higher in people who are obese, its the main factor in the younger deaths we are seeing. So yes bring healthy could increase your survival rate by a huge factor.

I'd say more to do with our ever expanding horizons into the wild and the biodiversity crisis.

Yeah all part of our interfering with the environment via global warming and wrecking the place.

I'd rather nothing, no lasting issues or deaths. Gyms are the worst place to be right now. An hour's workout, huffing and puffing and spreading covid, no thanks.

So you're not concerned about lasting affects in these fit and healthy people?

Contact tracers would need to follow up for many days. I don’t think they are coping with current workload so doubt they can keep ringing back.

Well isn't that one good thing coming out of this pandemic, air travel massively reduced, I would say work comutes massively reduced. Two huge contributers there

Course I am, but being healthy is important. Loads of high profile footballers have got it and don't seem to have any lasting affects on them.

As concerned as am I about any other random illness.

The odds are similar

Absolutely.
However did global warming and climate change actually lead to the conditions that led to the emergence of covid?

To be honest I'd be hopeful that this will turn out to be overstated.

The gym I go to is cleaned every hour and also equipment cleaned between use by the users. 2m distance is also enforced. Please shows me any source that gyms are contributing to increased cases.

I work in a supermarket that follows all the guidelines, I feel safer in the gym.

Our hospitals are perpetually hitting capacity.

I wish I had your optimism. I lot of the early studies aren't exactly promising.

I have had pneumonia before, it can really have a longer lasting effect.
