Coronavirus and High Blood Pressure: How COVID-19 Affects
If you have high blood pressure, it’s a good idea to take extra care to protect yourself during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Early research shows that people with the condition may be more likely to:
In China, 25% to 50% of people who came to hospitals with coronavirus had high blood pressure or another health condition like cancer, diabetes, or lung disease. In Italy, more than 99% of people who’ve died from the virus had one of these conditions — and 76% of them had high blood pressure.
People with high blood pressure are also slightly more likely to die from coronavirus. Their risk is about 6% higher than the overall population.

Kind of miss this bloviater.
If you test positive, a red “C” will be tattooed on your forehead.
I can tell already in a week or two this whole thing will be over, and by the end of April people will feel like it never happened and the Demenemies will lose their sh— because this terror attack they organized with the Chinese will have been a complete failure. Like the USS Cole, the bomb killed a lot and popped a hole in the side, but the ship didn’t sink. The US economy will rebound, unemployment will go down, and we will still have 6 months left before the election. And you know what the Demenemies are going to do? Try to impeach Trump using the excuse of the coronavirus.
Bill, we all understand that they will take your temperature, but will they rub you down with a loofa?

As far as I’ve heard, asymptomatic yet infected people are just as - if not moreso - contagious as symptomatic ones.
Peak “spreadability” is reported to be ~4 days from infection..and many people do not even show symptoms for 5 or more days.
The temp check will catch “some” cases, but likely a pretty small percentage of the ones that matter.
I like Bill O and watched him for many years, but don’t believe he’s right on this one.
I think this is generally where Trump is at with this, and as more and more call publicly for getting back to work, he’ll then get on and lead that boat. Ok Boat is a bad analogy these days.
Bill O’Reilly is generally full of crap.
I would double check EVERYTHING he writes and triple check whatever he says.
Just a quick skim tells me he is wrong about asymptomatic spreading. They shed the same virus as anyone else. They are not “lite” spreaders.
A two second search will tell you that.
Something is being spread.
“When you have covid-19 with zero symptoms you are a minor spreader. You are much less likely to infect someone else. You are helping to develop herd immunity.”
Bill needs to stick to writing checks to former female Fox News staffers.
That would all be for show.
Asymptomatic means without symptoms, including a fever.
Your temperature can be spot-on and you can still be contagious.
It would reassure people though. And now that they have scanners that can take it from a few feet away a minimal inconvenience.
Most small business can’t go another few weeks.

Coming soon to a sporting event near you.
Just roll a cold can of soda against your forehead. Y’ll be fine. :)
Isn’t temperature inconclusive ?....do asymptomatics have an abnormally high temperature ?
Lots of health conditions include elevated temperature. And, there’s variation between people. And at different times of day. And depending on activity too. And folks with higher temps can bring them down too This idea to admit or try to block people based on temperature is unworkable as well as just plain nuts.
If they have to take my temp, that’s fine.
I just wanna be sure that it’s an oral thermometer and not a rectal one.
Some people will have a high temp for ailments other than COVID. Look outside, it’s Springtime, cherry and plum blossoms coming out. The acacia bushes that border the highways are heavy with bright yellow flowers, soon to be followed by orange California Poppies.
In other words, some will exhibit Hay Fever symptoms if they forget to take their Benedryl that day.
Taking temps is almost useless. It is generally 9% effective if you have the correct thermo scanner.
