I would guarantee you that there are far far far far more people in hospital beds with diabetes, strokes, heart failure kidney failure and dementia than with covid.
That may well be the case, but it's totally irrelevant. At any rate those illnesses
you list are more often than not the result of the natural aging process—not any
sort of acquired viral infection. I checked widely, and
couldn't find any statistics
on the types of hospital, admissions by specific illness.
So how can you "guarantee" the claim you make here? Any citations?
Quote:Covid is a nice scapegoat. But the demographic change and be general unhealthiness of people due to poor nutrition and poor exercise acceptance is a way bigger problem.
The effects of general unhealthiness and poor nutrition can be reversed
with the appropriate education, support and motivation. COVID can't be.
If, as a 75-year-old, I develop diabetes or suffer a heart attack I can do
something about it—a change of diet, lose weight, and more exercise for
example, which—hopefully!—would keep me out of hospital.
