Well yea that’s kind of the irony in the way those stories are presented as “if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone!!”

Really? It can happen to Somone who takes precautions, wears a mask, and is up to date in matters of their health?

She hardly represents the norm which you clearly laid out yet the news positions the story like it’s just a regular, cautious, citizen when bu the looks of it she’s anything but.

This article is calling out people who aren't taking it seriously. I'm not sure how you and welfare are interpreting it so differently... It's a very short, simple article

Hey all I'm saying is don't present a story in a manner that looks like there's some agenda. Or else people are likely to think there's, well, an agenda. Which was pretty evident in the comments of that story there and on Twitter.
Regardless of the intentions, i don't think it helps.

Because if you actually read it without looking for some weird agenda, it's just a story of a person admitting they didn't take it seriously because it turns out she had a condition that made it nearly deadly for her, and she wants to warn other dumb/ignorant kids not to be like her.

But I wonder what you think the actual "agenda" is? It's an incredible short, easy to digest story so I am genuinely curious what it takes to find extra meaning.

Yea. I get that. But you think they could have mentioned something like a tumor in her lungs a little more explicitly.
Rather than deceptively dropping it in the story, in a single sentence, at the end.

You think them blatantly editing that part of the story is a good idea?
That the segment of the population not taking it seriously aren't going to see that garbage and use it to assure themselves?
It's no wonder people don't trust these clowns in the media and then go off on their conspiracy tangents FailFish

If you were at death's door unable to breathe on your own, covid is absolutely your first priority LUL

If you survive that, then you can deal with whatever the tumor is. Could be anything from a benign cyst, to cancer

16.
Looking at previous stats, that same age bracket, the number is probably 40-50 times that for cancer this year.

I'm not saying this thing isn't nasty if you get a severe case. I know of several people who've gotten it bad. But there are much more fatal and prevalent illnesses (like cancer) for people in that age group.
