The corrupt media and some corrupt politicians are attempting to make COVID today the same as AIDS was in the 80s. That is, they are implying that if you get it, it is pretty much a terminal condition.
COVID and AIDS are not similar in any way. I have read that the actual death rate of COVID is around 3%. And the majority of deaths were people with preexisting poor health conditions.
But there is no way to know if this is true because everything is political (not medical). All the numbers change every day, depending on who is reporting them. This is certainly a political issue more than it is a medical/health issue. It is much more about "power" than it is about health. Therefore, you can't believe anything the media, the government, or anybody says about it. All the numbers are fake and nothing is real.
