Listening in on a media call with
@OHAOregon
right now. Health leaders saying, “We believe the virus is in the community, generally. From what we understand symptoms can be quite mild.”

Janet: That Oregon official is exactly why I posted my list of false statements earlier in the thread. :-) Maybe I will just start calling out numbers like at a bingo game!

One. The number is one!

(1) This is about old people and I won't be affected

That is very misleading since every age group catches the disease and the same rate and spreads at the same rate. While old people (and people with a medical history of diabetes, pneumonia, weakened immune system etc.) are much more likely to die from the disease, the sickness for anyone can be very severe and very unpleasant.

“Health leaders saying, “We believe the virus is in the community, generally. From what we understand symptoms can be quite mild.””

As long as the other kids don’t have parents or grand parents, they’re probably right.
