I've noticed that they have started to call Covid a disease instead of an illness.
We can recover from an illness. Can we recover from a disease? Or is is something that we have to live with and take a continued regiment of drugs to keep under control?

Abstract
Two different, though interrelated, conceptions of ill-health - disease and illness - are described. Recent literature on this disease/illness model is reviewed, and the value of this approach to general practice is shown.

Illness Vs Disease: Understanding The Differences
Understanding the difference between illness and disease is a matter of educating about the nature of both. Although the two terms are interchanged carelessly in many conversations when describing a reference of sickness, they are represented by two distinct definitions:
Illness is suffering from something that makes one sick. Illnesses span during a precise period of time, meaning they have a beginning and an end. In layman’s terms, an illness is basically termed as an unwell or unhealthy state of mind or body.
Disease falls under an entirely different classification. A disease is defined as suffering from a malfunctioning organism or function within the body itself. A disease is not something that can occur from an incidence, event, or from an external element or behavior.
Understanding the differences between illness and disease are critical so that you can receive the care you require. If you are unwell, contact GMP Medical today.
Differences Between Illness and Disease
Illness can affect the body or mind in a myriad of different capacities.
A disease has a specific result on a body part or function.
Illness can be a perceived notion of unwellness or derive from self-diagnosis.
Disease must be diagnosed by a medical expert.
Illness can fall under a generalized periscope of health maladies.
Disease is a named by a pathological identification label or marker such as diabetes, sickle-cell anemia, or lupus.
Illness vs Disease – A Few Points to Consider
Misunderstanding the difference between illness and disease has the potential to cause confusion amongst sufferers. Many clinical studies have begun to point out the distinguishing elements of an illness vs a disease in a different construct. They outlined a series of questions that pertain to an event of sickness such as:
Why did I get sick?
How did I get sick?
What will I do to recover?
The answers to these questions provide clues as to the severity and nature of the perceived notion of illness. Medical anthropologists reveal there is a self-diagnostic trait to illness related events. These are immediately distinguishable from disease-related events by the fact that there isn’t a substitution principle or high percentage of discontinuation of a form of treatment.
For example, the methodology of treating a common cold may vary from one person to another. Whereas, the treatment protocol for treating pernicious anemia is straightforward and prescribed to the affected patient. Subjective interpretation by the patient cannot occur without potentially harmful consequence.
Being labeled as ill can fall into a tidal wave of unverified descriptive situations: a common cold, a side effect, food poisoning, but also, a complication from a pre-existing disease. While there is a difference between illness and disease, in some situations, they do overlap. The terminology can easily become blurry, but it is worth noting the difference between illness vs disease. Because of the confusion many people have differentiating between both illness and disease, if you feel unwell it is essential that you visit your doctor immediately.

In my mind an illness is different than a disease. Whether covid exists or not is not my point. The fact that they started calling it a disease rather than an illness, is my concern.
An illness is temporary and has a beginning and an end.
A disease is something that a person may have to live with for the rest of their lives.
We know how they like to play with words and blur the lines.
They want people to think that they have a disease that needs constant monitoring and treatment. Endless boosters.
yes, so much BS on MSM
Even if it is true, with a 99.9% recovery rate for people who have no pre existing conditions, his death would have been "extremely rare"
They like to use the term "extremely rare" when referring to people who have suffered adverse effects from the vaccine.
Now calling covid a "disease" imo is more of their propaganda word play.
They guy probably would have lived if he had stayed away from the hospital. The hospital protocol probably killed him, but they will never say that.
Exactly.
The DEA is just a ruse to make the public think that an attempt has been made to stop drug trafficking when it is the government itself who is the Kingpin.
The problem is that people are still listening to MSM. Until MSM unravels itself, the normies remain asleep.
We can jump up & down and shout the truth all we want, but normies don't believe us.
I was literally told one day, "You're crazy, you don't know what you're talking about," by a normie who was suffering from Cog Dis.
But I believe that they will wake up eventually.
Everything good seems to take longer than we anticipated.
About 5 years ago, I had an inkling that things were not as they seemed, but I was still asleep.
I am only of average intelligence and I woke up. So if it can happen to me, it can happen to others.
Once you get the shot.
You will need endless boosters for the rest of your life.
Don't take the shot.
White man + White Woman = White kids
They want all non-Jewish White people dead.
That is why they keep pushing the interracial couples stuff. They want all non-Jewish people to be Brown or Dead.
Look at de Blasio with his half Black kids. That is what they are doing if they aren't Jewish.
Fairbanks is run by Mormons.
Spouse anon and I have noticed this as well.
Thought is was just people on their cell phones.
But it does seem to have gotten worse since the vaxx rollout.
Hadn't thought of that.
Probably right.
Can't have independent rogue drug dealers making big bucks.
Anyone who says anything negative about Jews is branded as "antisemitic"
They claim victimhood by perpetuating "muh holocaust" but any reference to it in comparison to what is happening right now is "antisemitic" and they demand an apology.
They can't have it both ways.
fake & ghey kids shouting out.
But also fake & ghey that Beau is her son.
He was her step-son after his mother was murdered and she was his babysitter.
Coincidence?
Does she have any natural children?
How and why did Beau really die?
Was he murdered as well? If so, why?
Don't use kids as pawns.
Just keep them out of the Government Socialist gone Communist School System.
Small private school or homeschool them.
