We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

The Tyrann Mathieu Foundation will be donating 30,000 meals to families affected by the COVID-19.

“In an effort to help ease the burden and anxiety in this unpredictable time, I am committed in joining my teammates by donating 30,000 meals to the families in need,” Mathieu said in a news release. “It’s so important that everyone protect themselves, their loved ones and give back during this challenging time. I urge everyone to remain informed and remember that we are stronger together.”

I haven't left my house in a week and a half. I'm fortunate to be able to work from home. Today, I ventured out at around 9am to go to Dollar General (I figured the supermarket would be ransacked). I only wanted to get some diet mt. dew and milk. I went in, grabbed a 12 pack of mt dew and a gallon of milk and then thought, I wonder if they have any lysol, so I ran back to the cleaning supplies and they were out. No biggie. I start walking down the main aisle to the front of the store so I can get the hell out of there and all of the sudden an employee walks out of one of the aisles and coughs twice without covering her damn mouth like 2 feet away from me (she mumbled excuse me as she walked bye like it was no big deal). I'm not the type to lose my cool so I immediately held my breath clear up to the counter, checked out, drove straight home, and took a shower. It's the closest I've ever come to bitching someone out in public. There are only 2 people in my county that have it (officially) and I would think at this point someone would have the decency not to come to work if they had all the symptoms, but I've of course been worried/paranoid all day. It sucks that we have to live like this now.

Seems like coughing and leaving it on surfaces seems to be the biggest culprit.

Let me give you a completely made up but plausible scenario. Let's say that the people between 0 and 54 ignore all the advice and put themselves at much higher risk. This activity results in 50x (all made up figures here, just to prove a point) as many cases in that particular age group. So in a certain geographical area you have 1000 people who are 54+ infected and 50,000 people <54 infected. 124 people from the 54+ group end up hospitalized. 76 people from the <54 group end up hospitalized.

OMG !!!! 38%are under 54!!!! Yes. and they represent .152% of the people infected from their age group.

Since we have absolutely ZERO clue what the true numbers are these types of percentages are completely meaningless. They are nothing but sensationalism meant to scare people. You maye be ok with it but I see it as outright dishonesty and it's ****ING REPREHENSIBLE behavior.
That's true but the whole notion that all young people who get it will be fine is complete bullshit. Young people can die from this. It's not common but it does happen more than you think.

Many of you on here act like this is only a virus old people need to worry about.

Do you really think someone who works at Dollar General can afford to miss work?

No one thinks all young people will be fine. That's ridiculous. A young person with leukemia (like your example) is at very high risk, same for one with chronic respiratory issues, etc etc

The data we have now points to very very low risk for healthy young people. That doesn't mean much since our data right now is woefully incomplete.

The difference is that I am not throwing out meaningless numbers in an effort to sensationalize things.

The news outlets pushing these numbers are either full of morons or being purposely deceptive. It's disgusting.

Philly and now San Francisco.

This is San Francisco during a mandatory quarantine

This is California under regressive Democrat policies

Leftists want this way of life for all of America

Ignore the text. Not why I posted it.

It's a video of people stealing hundreds of dollars of stuff because there's no real penalty.

Lucky for them, CVS is probably just right across the street for convenient robbing.
