This is ridiculous. It mentions that the woman was in a Special Olympics event, and from what little I can learn, it appears to me that she may have had Downs Syndrome. This is a condition that predisposes people to various respiratory problems, and once upon a time few people with this condition lived much beyond their twenties.

Don’t confuse them with facts. Respiratory problems including acute respiratory distress syndrome are indeed by far the most frequent cause of hospital admissions as well as the leading cause of death of persons with Down Syndrome. The HYSTERIA on these boards is becoming palpable.

So are you trying to claim she doesn’t have the virus?

Or that she was going to die early anyway of a lung issue?

Or that she can’t possibly be contagious because she has Downs?

I don’t really undersand your point.

Oh, I agree. The people on here screaming "it's a conspiracy to GET TRUMP!!!!!!!!!" are absolutely suffering from hysteria. While those advocating common sense preparations in case it become a serious problem... are rather calm about it all. Preparation prevents panic.
