Isn't it strange that the big actors, sports players, politicians and royals get mild symptoms?

Well those people do have access to the best healthcare and tend to be able to eat better than most of us.

They should by default be healthier than the average full time job doesn't have a cook, nanny type Joe average.

I think these "VIPs" are more likely to be tested with any symptoms whatsoever. The fatality rate among us plebes in the US is around 1%, not sure what the rate of severe disease is. Figure among the Exalted Ones, that rate will automatically be lower based on more of their mild cases being tested. It may be 3x as many of them with mild cases and positive tests for every severe case as it is among the "general population."

Its still mild for most, their higher likelihood of testing with even a whiff of symptoms means that "most" percentage is even higher among them. Probably just a matter of the odds - and healthier living (lifelong and current access to top-notch food, stress reducers like daily massages, cleaner air, more separation from the general public (when they choose to, i.e. no need to run out to stores.) If needed - bmeasy access to better medical care.

He meant anyone he's heard of.

that maybe, still doesn't change the fact that they were well known celebrities.

i'm sorry that some don't have a broad enough attention span to recognize that there other people in the world that don't fall into their little scope of the world. there are others celebrities that are well known by millions.

That is the most baffling part of the OP.

Just because “you” haven’t heard of somebody doesn’t make them any less famous or well known. It means you haven’t heard of them. That’s it. Has no bearing on the fact that millions of other people have.

I find it odd that I haven't heard of a single person dying of anything other than the virus since it was big news.

Yes, but has anyone you know or people around you known people that have died from it?

I haven’t heard one story in my circles.

Why is it such a hard question?
Pneumonia is the deadliest complication that can develope
But there's heart failure too.

Except the heart failure usually happens in those who already had cardiac issues.

Basically, the other factors that raise your chances of real trouble are things like cardiac issues, lung issues, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and immunocompromised. Those things can affect anyone at any age and present increased risk no matter what.

Exactly and we are used to seeing famous people die every couple of days for various reasons but now they are all dying of Covid 19.

They are not dying of anything right now, that's the point, except withdrawl symptoms from their narcissism.

It looks like it's us and them and they are all in it together, but what does that mean and why.

It means we must start eating the rich and famous.

I won't stop exposing them and telling anyone I see about the nocebo effect, the police won't be stopping me ⚡

A Spanish princess (admittedly of a cadet branch of the family) has just died.
All of the classes you mention spend their lives meeting many people, so it's not surprising that they get symptoms.
If is is true that most cases are mild symptoms, it may not be surprising that they mostly get mild symptoms.
You would be just as suspicious, and maybe more rightly so, if NOBODY in the powerful classes was affected.

An Olympic gold medalist said it was one of the worst viruses he endured. The virus reacts differently with everyone it seems like.

It's wierd. Some people get mild symptoms and some need to be hospitalized.

No true because all sports people at the highest levels are at peak fitness they are more susceptible to illness and disease as they are on a knife edge.

I do yes.

Yeah a bit like nerbot says:

Apparently NYC has spiralled out of control and people are dying to the point they're being removed in refrigerated trucks.

So why is NO-ONE here saying "My NYC relative died of corona" ?? Or, "Someone I knew in NYC" or even "Someone I know who knows someone in NYC..."

In fact I'm yet to see a post on this board about any death in the USA affecting a member here. And yet I've learned that when things are really happening to Americans, someone here typically verifies it reasonably quickly.

I've seen posts here "We had Corona" (but noticed they made no mention of any official test for it) and plenty of conspiracy ideas but if people are dying why are very few people saying someone they know (and links to people can be very thin for this kind of news/detail to still exist) has been hospitalized or died?

I'm not going to scream conspiracy but there is a substantial air of "yeah? when? where?" in a lot of the stories about affected places/people. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough. I prefer to see a "pattern" or a "quantitative" data set rather than read one article about a single death on BBC and believe that must be the extent of things everywhere.

Back to point - lol, celebs, elites, they have expert health care, remember M Jackson had his own private doctor? These folks are at the top of all lists so what do you expect, really.

Prince Charles damn sure ain’t a sports star. I would imagine these people have all been taking the malaria/z-pack combo and they are cured like everyone else treated like that.

It's weird, but with me, if my life has stress, but I handle that stress ok, then I get quite bulletproof to disease. Once worked for 3 years in a quite stressful environment. During the first 2 years, I didn't take any longer breaks from work then 2 days. Colleagues, with couple of them being former local top athletes with good health, often got the flu or the cold. We worked quite closely and I always expected to get ill aswell, but I just didn't. Everyone around me took their turn in getting sick, but it somehow always passed me. After two years I took my first week off work, and on the first day got sick as a dog with 39.5C fever and was in bed for the whole week. Felt like more then a coincidence that I got ill as soon as I took a proper break. So I think that it has something to do with me losing the tension in me and becoming more susceptible to sickness because of that.

Wonder if theres factors like better diet and less worries than the average hand to mouth person as they got millions in the bank plus the fact that some people just seem immune to everything like Keith Richards who probably helped Columbia get started in the drug business and kept them going till Charlie Sheen took over.

Wonder if all that inbreeding in the royal families has perhaps mutated a gene that helps them out which does ask whats the infections like in Alabama
