Brazil is trying herd immunity too. Their numbers:

I saw that too. I don't think Brasil is capable of tracking numbers and trends. Bolsonaro told Brazilians that they were "immune" from this virus, and I could see him pushing through with his plan, even telling people to stay home no matter how sick you get and tough it out.

Your story though doesn’t show any real cause and effect.

I realize it's anecdotal. However, I find minor precautions to mitigate exposure to EM energy, especially at microwave freq is a good common sense approach, like putting my phone on airplane mode when I place it on my nightstand, near my bed, at night, etc. I also reduce my blue light exposure on both my phone and laptop screens. And I just passed a DOT physical with zero defects, and no requirement for glasses (not even reading), after hours and hours spent on computers.

To each his own...

I remember doubting those stories at the time. I didn’t reject them out of hand, but at the same time, seemed pretty hard to believe. Walling people in, wielding people in, dumping dirt in front of doors, putting people in boxes on trucks, loved ones screaming, burning people alive...

And then Italy started happening, and I began to realize that it was all true.

He had the virus and now tests negative. Very risky for him because of lung damage from his crazed leftist neighbor who attacked him.

I do agree with turning off stuff that isn’t needed. I prefer Ethernet over WiFi but wifi gives me wings.

I did some digging on average age of hospitalization, there is a ton out there, but I came up with:

In France, 50 percent of the country’s COVID-19 patients in intensive care are under the age of 60.

A review of more than 4,000 U.S. patients who were diagnosed with novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) shows that an unexpected 20% of deaths occurred among adults aged 20-64 years, and 20% of those hospitalized were aged 20-44 years.

Iowa identifies 2 nursing homes hit with COVID-19 outbreaks

The facilities were identified Tuesday as the McCreedy Home in Washington County and Premier Estates of Toledo in Tama County. Health officials had previously withheld that information from the public.

Those homes and Heritage Specialty Care in Cedar Rapids are the sites of the three outbreaks at long-term care facilities confirmed in Iowa. Under the state’s definition, that means three or more residents have tested positive.

Officials say the outbreaks account for 11 percent of Iowa’s known coronavirus cases and 46 percent of deaths. That includes 76 cases tied to Heritage alone.

Coronavirus outbreak at Virginia nursing facility leaves dozens dead

An outbreak of the novel coronavirus has killed at least 28 residents at a Virginia skilled nursing facility and sickened nearly 100 more. The victims range in age from 56 to 102, the Canterbury Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center’s medical director said, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The facility, located in Richmond, announced several weeks ago that it would test all residents after cases began appearing in mid-March. The results found 119 positive cases among residents, including those who died, according to the Times-Dispatch. Only about 30 of the center’s residents tested negative. The center has about 160 residents, according to the Times-Dispatch.

Did you know that fluoride in your water will rob you of your essence?

Bad comparison, especially the history of fluoride after the Monessen inversion.

Yep. I pulled those up because someone is calling it just a disease killing “old farts”. I guess 50 is the new 80
