Young healthy people should mask up and wear gloves and get back to work! We need the economy turning. The stats say this is an elder issue with underling medical issues. I know the young are testing positive, but the fallout is getting worse than the virus.

Elder: Like being over 45-50.
Underlying medical issues: Whether they have ever affected you in any way or not, including the third of the US adult population that has *ever* had high blood pressure.

Young adults are themselves only slightly worse off in regards dying than from a bad flu, but that changes with middle-age and doesn’t take into account the spread.

I’m 57 and still working at my courier job. We’re all still truckin’. It’s kinda sad as I’m driving around and seeing the almost empty spaces in the once bustling DFW business area I work in. Fortunately my main pickup stop is also essential and still cranking out the work for me.

Easier said than done when you have no masks.
