Well anyone who thinks there's not covid out there has their head deep in the sand. The President and his staff are facing this so denial of covid is just stupid.
I had the respiratory flu a few years ago, it was brutal! Had the cough for two months after recovery as did others in my workplace. It just lingered for any who caught it. So I have no problem there are ‘after effects’ people can deal with....and if they have other issues of health likely they'll suffer more-so.
There's no doubt this covid can hit some much harder than others...immune systems matter as do other issues...but people in excellent health are getting this as well and have died. Could be they waited too long to get care....so there's many factors that come into play. The thing is it can kill you when and especially with other health issues in play.
Everyone is certainly finding their own comfort level in avoiding this virus....but I think these extreme measures are way out there. Open the economy, kids back in school, and such.
But it takes one weak link.
