Eating junk food has got bugger all to do with whether you will catch this virus.

Yet it has plenty to do with how one will defeat the virus with their immune system.

Oof!


Oof! what?

Are you telling me that this virus selectively infects obese people? No? Exactly what I said in what you've quoted I said then so why reply to it O_o

Once again, for the benefit of those who cannot read very well: I was replying to the suggestion that not eating junk food, sleeping at night and have breaks at work somehow miraculously renders one less liable to infection and illness from Covid.

I feel sorry for anyone who thinks that's the silver bullet.

Do some research about the past, for example when plagues did occur, and far further in History where the human population was decimated. ;)



So why don't you do what you promised - take your silly winky emote which is utterly meaningless and does not impart you with the mystique of some sort of 'insider wisdom' .....



its like the winky face was some kind of mic drop.

but yes i agree with you fifi. healthy life style has nothing to do with a virus we could all of been going to gym 5 days a week eating super healthy, but a virus or disease can take hold of us and wipe the human existence off the face of the earth. eating healthy has nothing to do with it


cause effect relation.

If you have a healthy life style, which includes a healthy diet will help fight against any viruses and diseases.


the conversation is about contracting the virus. not a miracle cure or inability to get it

ofc being obese or malnourished will effect this, cause that effects everything....

Incidentally you also said that herd immunity was the way to beat the virus. I remember it well because I disagreed with the statement. But now you don't believe that. Make your mind up.


"CAN YOU STOP SPREADING LIES!"


Now that is something I never do! - EVER!

It was several of the initial pages long of Dong arguing that 'Herd Immunity' was what she believed in and would help eradicate the virus.

Maybe she should check her account security because it is without any doubt whatsoever that someone on the account said that.

Also said it should be that family members should be allowed to comfort dyeing Covid victims. A somewhat different stance from expounding the attributes of a nation who did it right by doing a lockdown correctly.

Can't post a link to the exact posts as that thread is now locked.
However, pages 116 and 125 are worth reading. A lively discussion on herd immunity.

No lies have been spread, lol.

Original message details are unavailable.


If you are talking about past posts of mine saying herd immunity is best - I still feel this way. Nothings changed. As I said in past posts we need to protect the vulnerable. So I am certainly not against nor have I stated anywhere that I am against lockdown or quarantine.

In the long run, heard immunity for Coronavirus type diseases is best. Immunise those that are vulnerable the rest should should catch the disease naturally.



Adding winky face for inappropriate smugness. ;)
And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

I disagree with waiting for the population to develop herd immunity. As mentioned previously, for those with pre-existing serious medical conditions and/or are immuno-suppressed, it is an extremely dangerous way to combat this virus.

Considering that the more virulent UK strain has now made its way to Australian shores, I think that the vaccine path is the way to go, because herd immunity will not be sufficient to stop its spread. Although the current vaccines are not for the UK strain, other boosters may be developed to help combat it.

Immunity and immunopathology to viruses: what decides the outcome?

https://www.nature.com/articles/nri2802


Extensive but very interesting read.
Covid19 is not one of those viruses that you can benefit from contracting in the hope of Herd Immunity.
It can often do some very seriously nasty damage - often life changing damage.

I started reading that 3 times before I got to the end of it. Still not really any the wiser O_o

Whilst I understand some of it clearly, other parts confused me. Is it saying that the type of virus that is coronavirus is not a suitable candidate for vaccination because triggering the immune response, even in a controlled manner, will cause undesirable adverse damage?

Or is it indicating that a controlled vaccine exposure is safer by a country mile (despite some minimal adverse tissue damage) than allowing a person to catch it 'in the wild' so to speak and allow the body just to do it's thing?
