Mrs. Fusco, 73, died on Wednesday night after contracting the coronavirus — hours after her son died from the virus and five days after her daughter’s death, a relative said.

Four other children who contracted coronavirus remain hospitalized, three of them in critical condition, the relative, Roseann Paradiso Fodera, said.

I did that on my last HEB curbside pick up.

It was strange, though....I kept smelling a bleach smell...and, I hadn’t purchased bleach.

I think they had sprayed the ‘holding’ area, for the orders, with bleach?

Anywho...it was kind of strong (but I am VERY smell sensitive...drives family nuts), so I had all of the windows open, halfway.

“As per the study, the normal population in Wuhan has a blood type distribution of 31 percent type A, 24 percent type B, 9 percent type AB, and 34 percent type O.

“Those with the virus, by comparison, were distributed as follows: 38 percent type A, 26 percent type B, 10 percent type AB, and 25 percent type O. Similar differences were observed in Shenzhen.

“As you can see, the percentages between the normal population and those with the virus have some differences - but it doesn’t mean that people with type O blood type are immune; and not everyone who gets the virus is going to be type A.”

It will be even more interesting to see if I can get my prescription refill. My Rheumatologist tells me that it takes six months for it to leave your body. It also puts your eyesight at high risk, so its a balancing act.

Oh, how sad.

I wonder if there are ‘underlying health issues’, for these members who’ve died...or, the entire family, maybe???

Prayers for all.

I interpret this as follows.

Likely only serious cases were tested to any great extent.

All blood types likely GOT the disease, just that some blood types disproportionately needed more serious care and were thus motivated to seek treatment.

They were obese, from pictures floating around the net.

If obesity == death from this...America will have a giant cull.

Especially in case of possible, future ‘waves’.

If the economy ever recovers, merchants should take note of what went and what stayed put.

They probably already knew. But in the not-so-long-ago, the corporate heads for the large chains were probably more interested in "wokeness" than reality.

Many of the young up-and-comers in the industry are getting a real wake-up call

I hope.

It really is fascinating to watch what people wont buy in a pandemic.

My grocery store has some kind of sage thing in a square box in the meat section. Only thing that was left during one trip. I need to look at it and see what it is...might be vegan.

THey also leave the expensive Chili and Soup can brands like Amys

just looked...its this they wont touch

Where are the other 6618 who aren’t quarantined? Or are they self quarantined and pinky swearing they’re not out getting soup and going to the salon?

A gathering of over 10, not 6’ apart and closed windows with a/c. Y’all spray and leave that Amazon order outside for a week.

Just reloaded the page on worldometers coronavirus cases and it jumped over 1200 cases in US in the last hour. Nearing 11,000 now.
