    I till don't see what closing schools will do when kids are not in danger of dying from it(?)

    Send all kids to a Camp Crystal Lake type scenario where they can all get sick and live through it and be immune -- and not affect the rest of the population when they come back.
    Because the kids can carry it....come on man
    Does immune people still carry viruses "latent"? Doesn't the immunesystem kill it..?
    Children aren’t immune. They’re just rarely showing symptoms. So yes, they are highly infectious. That also counts for young people in general 
    I have not said they are immune...

    They still carry it and pass it along.
    Yeah, that is one of the points taken into account in my post?

    But then your other posts showed ignorance. Kids aren't immune. 
    !! I HAVE NOT SAID THEY ARE IMMUNE !!
    My bad, I went back and re read your initial post.

    Your follow up posts made it sound like that's what you thought, I got it wrong. 
    Well then,

    Camp Crystal Lake it is.

    I'm shocked that they tell the public not to wear them! ;)

    They provide little value unless worn properly and all other hygiene followed.  But, if they actually didn't provide value at all...ask yourself...why are they worried about having them for medical professionals.

    The general public just won't follow all the rules to make them useful for the most part.

    Because they have to be up in the face of people, and do not wear them upside down?

    My colleagues dad and his wife, working as doctor and nurse, have been diagnosed with Corona, I just learned.

    Awful about your family's friends.  And yes, the public wears them upside down and basically wastes them.

    2 year old has it in my village. Our  death  toll  is 104. But the mortality rate is way disproportionate  as we only test hospital admitted  people. Shameful.

    To be fair he was the only person on the train and fixed it after we busted his balls about it.   Can we stop busting on my buddy now?  Just posting a picture to show you what it looks like commuting into the city. Carry on.

    Not busting on your buddy in particular, its just that people really do not know how to use them and are basically wasting him.  They aren't bad people.

    You're assuming he ran out & bought it.

    How do you know he didn't have it sitting in a tool box? I have a few myself from having done work around the house.


    Maybe let's save the shaming for people who deserve it.

    Just to let everyone know, my buddy had the mask in his garage.  Recently he did work on his house.  I hope we all can now move on.

    80% are asymptomatic and most covid tests take 2 to 3 days.  So even if you pass, if you are out on public, your test result could be outdated the moment you get the negative result.

    Nothing wrong in that decision to wear a mask even if it was bought at the local supply store on the way to that luxurious train.

    Spoke to a couple doctor friends today including an emergency room doctor

    They think this thing has been making its rounds since the holidays.  There were a ton of people travelling all over and quite a few sick people.  Lots of respiratory stuff.  I know in february, at one point, half my office was out sick.

    A lot of the hysteria comes from testing and the media.  Yes, action and distancing is wise at this point.  They just think a lot of us have actually had it already and a lot of the anxiety is unwarranted.

    I 100% agree with this.  Literally everyone I know at work had these huge headaches and just not feeling well.  Tons of sinus infections.  We also had two healthy people in their 40s die of flu like symptoms.

    Well that is alarming and atypical I would say.  Sorry to hear that.
