I've talked with two different people this week....one is a lab technician and another a surgeon.
Both say that this virus is nothing to be real concerned about. The surgeon told me that there are likely hundreds of people that have had the virus and just considered it an upper respiratory cold.
Interesting perspectives. They are either correct or insane.
I’m no doctor, but I’ve read and listen to them. I do think that for the normal population this isn’t a huge deal other than the fear of the unknown. But for the at risk population it’s an enormously big deal
I think you're right, Cincy. For most people, this is probably no worse than all the other viruses that circulate around every year. And for the more at risk population...
I hate to admit it, but personally, I'm feeling a bit like Mr. Candy here.

COVID19 is harmful to elderly and people with bad immune systems. Almost all of us will be fine. We still need to try and stop the spread of it though.

Yes. If your immune system is compromised or have any chronic lung issues this could be a very big deal. Both my father and mother are high risk, father has COPD and mother has Lupus that has damaged her lungs.
So yes, if you are young and healthy this won't be a big deal to your personal health. But if it gets carried away, most of us will know someone who will be impacted by this in a bad way.

It seems highly irresponsible of medical professionals to tell anyone that there isn't anything to be concerned about. We have a novel virus with no vaccine, no specific antiviral treatment, and are just at the beginning of community spread in this country. If nothing else, the concern is containment to minimize transmission.
Reminder that even if you are not in a high risk category, you likely have family members who are. So if you get it and have no underlying medical issues, it will probably be like a mild flu. You'll be fine. If you have no relatives and live alone, no big deal. But if you get it, and then pass it along to a loved one with a compromised immune system, someone elderly like a parent or someone pregnant, then you've just put them in harm's way.

Great points, Jeff.

Went to Costco last night just for pizza. Saw half the cleaning shelves just empty. No TP, paper towels, Lysol, etc. I still don’t understand why this virus makes people want to stock up on toilet paper? Do they think they’ll stop making it or something?
Wait, you went to Costco ..... for pizza?
😜😜
Yup. Their pizza is good. I sometimes go in for just a pizza or chicken.

Yes. If your immune system is compromised or have any chronic lung issues this could be a very big deal. Both my father and mother are high risk, father has COPD and mother has Lupus that has damaged her lungs.

I find it a little disingenuous to ask the average person to chill out at Costco when Wall Street has sold off 40% of their retirement savings in just three weeks time. If I decide not to go to Denver now, it will be because I need to save my money. Jesus.
