OK, so the media has convinced Karen-America that we are all going to die. That it is not safe for kids to be in school. That we can't go to a baseball game. With that said....Could someone please identify any American who has DIED of COVID-19 and who, at the time of their death, was 1) under 80 years old AND 2) was reasonably healthy? Seriously. For you Twitter people, please tweet this out. I want names, locations, etc. No "urban legends" about someone's cousin. There must be newspaper articles out there of the COVID deaths involving the younger and healthy. Right?
I’m so sorry that your family has to deal with CoVid at a time when your Mom is now in hospice care. What an ordeal for all of you! I’ll keep you and your Mom and family in my prayers. Are you able to visit her at all? Even through windows or such?
This thread is not going to age well.
They do indeed exist. A 14-year-old with no underlying conditions died of it in Fort Worth a couple weeks ago. You can’t release the identities of minors.
there's a reason....I don't know what it is, but there's a reason..
I have a theory that people are getting sick from other causes...and when your body is weak, it’ll pick up whatever is floating around...flu, covid,mrsa, cdiff....any of which can be very severe..
I’m getting very tired of all the idiots on FreeRepublic who pretend this isn’t dangerous.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Way to bring the dialogue up a notch.
The fact is very few would say it’s not dangerous. But the concern is the reaction being much more dangerous. And targeted against liberty and the basic foundation of the country.
Same tactic is being used with the George Floyd incident.
Think carefully about who the actual ‘idiots’ are.
Approximate median age?
If it’s as bad as they claim, why are they cooking the numbers at such a feverish rate?
“Your keyword is “healthy person” isn’t it? How many people are not healthy and don’t know it or will not admit it to themselves?”
Good point: I am a little on the heavy side about 25 pounds over weight. Also an exsmoker, Covid-19 would love me.
I have a friend who has diabetes cause by another condition. His diabetes are under control, but Covid-19 would love him, he is 47.
The older you get the more little problems you have, and some of us do not know about our underlying condition. Covid-19 will let you know if you are unhealthy real quick.
The last time I look there is a lot of overweight people in America compare to Europe.
Really? I don't think we're even LOSING that many, per day.
Do you have a link to go with that claim?
Oh....and not the inflated/falsified numbers that have now been corrected. Thanks.
“II have a theory that people are getting sick from other causes...and when your body is weak, it’ll pick up whatever is floating around...flu, covid,mrsa, cdiff....any of which can be very severe..”
It is a proven theory. Covid-19 kills people who already have heath issues. The person could high blood pressure, overweight, or Diabetes. Covid-19 loves those types of people. There is a lot of us with unknown heath conditions.
The doctors are just now able to save more lives due to advancement in treatments during the last four months. That is helping to keep the death rate lower then what it was in March.
President Trump save a lot of lives locking down America. It bought us time to get needed medical supplies and develop medical treatments.
If it’s as bad as they claim, why are they cooking the numbers at such a feverish rate?
Great point.
And, if it’s as devastatingly contagious as they say...why haven’t the grocery store workers keeled over, in drastic numbers?
Same for the homeless population. They should’ve been decimated, by now.
Maybe....because....it’s not.
Wear a mask! Don’t wear a mask! Wear a mask!!
It’s aerosolized. No, it’s not aerosolized. It’s on surfaces for DAYS, no...it’s not on surfaces. Wait.....only surfaces at schools, churches and bars/restaurants.
It’s all about the 2020 election and trying to take Trump down.
Such a freaking farce.
Thank you for the additional info. This is worth gold to me, and I’ll be sharing it to others who will benefit greatly.
None of those...he’s an elder at our church.
His wife is a close friend. She and the kids were tested repeatedly...no positives.
We think they dodged the virus because he was working such long hours and was seldom home.
She disinfected everything after he went into the hospital.
The wife blames it in stress from working such long hours, and maybe she’s right.
Sorry but if you believe no healthy person without comorbidity factors under 75 has not died from this, then frankly you are a fool.
Perfectly healthy people die from illnesses every day, even ones that are innocuous to most people.
Anyone telling you that if you are young and healthy with no risk factors you cannot die from this, or any other disease they are a liar or a fool.
When something has a low morbidity rate, that just means the odds of you dying from it are low, they are not zero. Someone will be the unlucky person who is the rare case that dies.
The question is, not can you not die from this if you are you g and healthy.. because yes, some perfectly healthy young people with no comorbidity factors will die from this, just like they die from everything.
The question isn’t can a healthy young person die from this... the question is that is the frequency that someone who is healthy with no comorbidity factors dies from this as compared to other diseases.
The reality as it seems is, that to most people the odds of dying if young and healthy with no comorbidity factors from this is very low..and probably within the ranges of other diseases that are out there.
Co-worker of my wife’s died about 2 months ago from it in NYC. 38 years old - no pre-existing issues whatsoever.
A friend of mine got it in China back in January and came back here to spread it to her hubby. Neither went to the hospital but they are convinced they had it.
And you’re a fool if you believe any of that.
Prove it.
Prove it.
Asymptomatic? Was that even a word six months ago?
If he’s asymptomatic, he’s not sick.
What is wrong with you fools, swallowing this dreck, breaking up a family on the unsubstantiated words of some hack in scrubs.
Show some dignity and some ability for logical thought.
