If by recovered you mean survived, OK, perhaps that is true, however, the point of my entire post was that you can't judge this solely on deaths, a point you failed to offer any counterpoint to. There are people that have and will die from Covid related complications down the road, numbers that haven't been counted. We also can speculate that there will be people who die younger due to complications or damage caused by Covid. This is all yet to be determined, so you coming off as some sage that knows the future is baffling, especially considering your previous predictions.
I have known two people who contracted it personally. One survived, one died. The one who died was older, but they actually didn't die from Covid and their death certificate doesn't list the cause as Covid. Guess what it does list? Pneumonia. Guess what caused that? You guessed it, Covid. All of this to say that there is a counterpoint to your argument about governments giving money for deaths and thus medical entities wanting to get extra money and that is, often Covid doesn't kill the person but rather the damage it causes or illnesses it brings on.
As for the one I know that recovered, they are still dealing with a lack of smell/taste and are certainly dealing with the "brain fog". Perhaps with all your downtime you should go and read facts, not what some talking head spews out on the radio or tv. I do go to work and no, I don't live in fear, however, I am also not so ignorant to dismiss this as some passing fad.
I will wait for your reply, one in which I can almost certainly expect no evidence to dismiss anything in my original post and one that is filled with more of your typical talking points.
The "science" is all over the place with this and nobody really knows. I already gave you a percentage straight from the CDC website that totals deaths with those who have no comorbidities or are not over age 70.
Check out the "science." The Philippines had one of the most aggressive lockdowns in the world. Sweden was at the other side of the lockdowns with basically, continue life as usual and protect those that are elderly or have conditions. The Philippines actually fared worse.

Maybe YOU should do a little more research before just basing it on a "coupla cases" that you personally encountered. THAT is not representative of anything except an emotional response. With your judgment here, you really shouldn't be flying planes. I might suggest returning to your former career.
