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!

And all the people who die daily from all the other diseases?

You care about that? You going to stop driving because people die everyday in car accidents? Of course not.

Life IS a risk, and has risks. You can be proactive, but you can't stop that.

After 24 years of working in a Hospital I have become desensitized somewhat to death etc, diagnosing friends and family with cancers and so on, so if this virus only killed 90+ year olds my opinion might change but it is also doing a number on 60+ which is a little harder to wrap my brain around. My dad at 73 would be considered high risk and to take him away from my kids right now after their grandma passed away at 62 from Ca would kill them, would I get over it sure , seeing my kids in pain would suck ass though.

Sure:

*Data during this period are incomplete because of the lag in time between when the death occurred and when the death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS and processed for reporting purposes. This delay can range from 1 week to 8 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction, age, and cause of death.

Miami Dolphins' CEO discussing plans for fans to be in the stands at their home games this fall...

The mock-up plan mirrors carry-out food line protocol established by restaurants. The Dolphins would include colored spots on the ground to mark where people stand before entering Hard Rock Stadium, allowing fans to stay six feet apart. The Dolphins could be down to 15,000 fans in the 65,000-seat stadium.

Hard Rock Stadium became the first public facility to earn the Global Biorisk Advisory Council's STAR accreditation, which is the standard used for facilities to implement cleaning, disinfecting and infectious disease prevention work practices to control coronavirus risks.

Is that common? I'm not sure. But it is happening here and there.

Six more people, possibly nine, are thought to have gotten infected at the store. I mean, that’s basically nothing for a Wal-Mart with the amount of people it sees and certainly isn’t showing some huge problem. I’m certain there are way more attached to that store. I would guess at minimum 70% of of open grocery stores and Wal-Mart type stores have cases connected to them, it’s just we probably don’t know about them.

Remember that the New York antibody tests were done in grocery stores and other big box stores so clearly there are infected people all over those places. These places aren’t like nursing homes, prisons, meat plants, etc in their level of risk. The question is why. Is it demographics of customers? Of workers? Space in the store? Mitigation efforts? Probably all of the above.

You are obviously more dead if you die from Covid than other things.

I have no idea why, either.

Maybe it’s similar to not being in control of another person that has the ability to hurt you through the car/sickness.

France found a Covid Case from late December. I know CA is going back to December to check all the flu and pneumonia deaths to see if there are ones with Covid. I think every state should start doing this.

The patient was tested in hospital on December 27, a month before the first French cases were confirmed, Cohen said, adding that the test had been repeated several times to confirm the result.

The patient was sick for 15 days and infected his two children but not his wife who works in a fish stall of a supermarket.

Cohen initially questioned whether the wife had been exposed to fish products from China, but later confirmed that she had only been exposed to fish produced in France.
