Seems pretty weak. It's one thing to keep out the general public. It's another thing to say there's no way for a few family members to come in, with gloves and masks and such.
Everybody from that event is OK I hope. Fall/winter is obviously the big flu season so I expect we'll be hearing more stories about gatherings where people pick it up. The good news is we flattened the curve (and then some) and hospitals have figured out the best protocols for handling those who really get knocked down. Bad outcomes even among the high risk are going down.
Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.
Viking - The problem with the modern world is that there aren't really any predators eating stupid people.
The fear around here (Chicago suburbs) is palpable, I almost want to slap some of the guys and tell them to stop acting like little girls. The mass hysteria and neuroticism being propagated by the media is just ridiculous. Tyrannical gynocracy run amok.
Do not be afraid.
So what about the lasting heart and lung disease concerns even in asymptomatic infections of Covid?
What percentage of those who get infected develop "lasting heart and lung disease concerns"?
Figuring this virus is about a year into discovery, that probably won't be know for several years or even decades.
So nobody knows, got it.
Anyone remember back when someone with Adam Schiff-like secret information and a self-professed very deep understanding of how Coronavirus impacts humans warned us that a significant COVID risk was dying bleeding from one’s eyes?Any confirmation on that dire threat beyond reports of overproduction of tears and inflamed conjunctiva?
For some reason I get the impression that you would be happy with current restrictions and lock downs lasting that long, just to be sure everyone is safe.
It was from friends who worked as doctors, nurses and admins at hospitals in Iowa. I do talk with more folks in real life than I do online. These hospital folks are/were under gag orders from their superiors, so why would I risk someone's income I grew up with or went to college with to placate someone I've never met?
Just the opposite, I want folks to take how serious it is now, wear the mask, stay home, wash hands, so the lockdowns will end. I'm a very social person and the lockdowns is not very good for my mental health.
No one wants your secret sources to have their incomes endangered. Is that still a symptom they are concerned about? Is there a reason that isn’t a symptom reported elsewhere?
Tissue damage caused by the immune system Almost all virus infections cause the recruitment and activation of inflammatory cell types — particularly macrophages and, in some infections, neutrophils — that in turn release a range of molecules that induce tissue damage or malfunction. These include cytotoxic cytokines, cationic proteins, lipid mediators, metalloproteinases and components of the oxygen burst. The reactive oxygen species that accumulate in the mitochondria may further contribute to tissue damage3. Both innate and adaptive immune signalling events are involved in mediating tissue damage.
I played over 30 rounds of golf this season and hunted in 3 states so far, I wouldn't call me a caged bird.
You said you wanted people to stay home.
