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.Gern Blansten said: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.
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.

Yup. Their pizza is good. I sometimes go in for just a pizza or chicken.nicknyr15 said:

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?😜😜0 -

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.cincybearcat said:
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.

The people that still work for him is what I really don’t understand. If I were Azar, I would have turned around, walked out and Ubered home. Do any of these people have any self respect or do they prefer whoring themselves out to Team Trump Treason? How do they sleep at night?myoung321 said:

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.0
