Anyone that has or had kids or knows someone with kids that age can tell you there is no chance to practice social distancing, wear a mask or wash their hands properly with kids that age. Now your immediately exposing the teacher, janitorial staff other workers at the school. And their grandma when they bring that crap home.
I'm still obese, have high blood pressure, 60 years old. I've not had a cold/flu type illness in 2.5 years. Not a single day. No temp. Nada. Correlates when I started exercising and lost 100lbs. You think I'll have the same results if I get Covid? I'd rather not take that chance.

What is added by this report?
This first preliminary description of outcomes among patients with COVID-19 in the United States indicates that fatality was highest in persons aged ≥85, ranging from 10% to 27%, followed by 3% to 11% among persons aged 65–84 years, 1% to 3% among persons aged 55-64 years, <1% among persons aged 20–54 years, and no fatalities among persons aged ≤19 years.
I understand you have an agenda, but you look really foolish.
You and a few others have attempted revisionist history a few times and here is just another example.
Have a good 4th..get out and soak up some of that Vit D my man. [Reply]

I'm confused, are we selfish individuals today or all in this together patriotically? [Reply]

Didn't we already do this? Everyone stay home..except the essential workers to cook our meals, stock our shelves, man the hospitals while some white collars got to stay at home and others got unemployment plus?
Of course in order for some to post Safer At Home on Facebook there was an army of people continuing to go outside. Those Amazon deliveries require people working at warehouses...
But it felt great..we were all in it together, too bad many essential workers never saw much of a pay raise for staying out there. [Reply]

Seems like enough evidence to shut those things down. :-)
Obese young people are the vast majority of younger patients with COVID-19 complications. Non-obese younger people who go to restaurants/bars and get COVID-19 have no issues.
Instead of a mask, these fatasses should have their jaws wired shut to get their weight down and preserve hospital capacity. [Reply]
Current hospitalizations are also half the time than earlier hospitalizations during the peak. That's another indication the virus is weakening.
My daughter has symptoms now, her roomate has been sick and her test was positive for Covid-19. Plus two other friends who she traveled with to the beach bars a weekend before last, are sick with it and tested postive. None are seriously ill—more like a bad cold with my daughter's symptoms being even milder.

This is where football will have the hardest time, not just because of all the contact, but guys are kind of locked into positions. Marlins lost 4 guys today including the guy who was supposed to pitch today. In baseball a lot of teams have backups who can play multiple positions but football isn't like that at all. Say a team has 2 QBs test positive on a Sunday I don't know what you do.
Sources: Marlins new positives include Cooper and Ramirez in addition to Urena, plus Alfaro had been positive. So they’ve now lost their starting RF, DH/1B and C in addition to one of their better pitchers. @ByRobertMurray 1st on some names
