Reply to comment by rickymourke82 in Regular physical activity may boost effectiveness of COVID-19 jab. Risk of hospital admission among fully vaccinated healthcare workers was reduced by 60% in the group who engaged in low levels of physical activity, and by 72% and 86% in the medium and high physical activity groups, respectively by Wagamaga

Lockdowns actually helped prevent spread quite a bit.. when people actually did them. If everyone actually did it, it would have greatly reduced the impact of Covid, but people can’t follow directions or be bothered to give a crap about their neighbors and elderly.

They also don’t mean you don’t workout. I know I did a lot of jogging, calisthenics and Ring Fit during lockdown. Working from home during that period gave me lots of extra free time to stay in shape.

This comment is so dumb. You believe fewer ppl would die if the virus spreads SLOWER??

Um, I hope you just forgot there “/s”, because that’s kinda common sense and well proven. You slow the spread and you don’t overwhelm the Health care system.

Remember when hospitals were out of beds and running low on oxygen? That wouldn’t have been a problem if it spread slower.

Hospitals get overwhelmed during flu season. It happens all the time even when there’s no pandemic. Also, are you claiming that a significant amount of deaths from covid were caused by inaccessible hospitals?! Because that’s patently false.

This is just one of many reports/stories about it.

It’s really not something that’s up for debate, it happened quite a bit.

Also, brining up hospitals getting overwhelmed during flu season is not helping your point. Anytime someone who needs care can’t get it you don’t get good results… if not getting care didn’t have an impact, then the people didn’t really need the care in the first place.

The article is talking about ppl dying from socioeconomic issues and “accessibility” to healthcare. Not that the hospitals were too full.

I have a heart condition. I go to the hospital a lot. At no point during the pandemic was it too crowded (Cleveland, OH). Anecdotal, true, but heres something that’s not.

If hospital fullness were a concern, then lockdowns would be LOCAL based on current beds available. Not case count and not state or county wide.
