    99% of Those Who Died From Virus Had Other Illness, Italy Says

    How is that comforting?

    As many as 82 million Americans with employer-based coverage have a pre-existing condition, ranging from life-threatening illnesses like cancer to chronic conditions like diabetes, asthma, or heart disease.

    How many without employer-based coverage????? 
    It’s comforting because it explains what otherwise appeared to be anomalous data from Italy, and knowledge is power. And for me, it’s comforting because it tells me that my otherwise healthy under-60 friends and family are probably going to be okay physically.
    I think you need to read the latest data...  How'bout your not so healthy friends or over 60 family? damn... 

    Wake up.... it's not just "old" people 

    Up to 20% of younger adults infected with coronavirus end up hospitalized, CDC says

    https://news.yahoo.com/20-younger-adults-infected-coronavirus-001923791.html

    Up to 1 in 5 younger adults in the U.S. infected with coronavirus wind up in the hospital, according to a new analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    The CDC looked at more than 2,400 cases of COVID-19 in the United States over the past month in the analysis released Wednesday.

    It found that coronavirus patients over 85 had the highest death rate with 10% to 27% dying from the disease. That’s similar to data from China that indicates a majority of deaths are in people over 60, according to the CDC.

    It also echoes CDC warnings that older Americans are much more likely to get sicker.

    For younger people, the CDC found between 14% and 20% of adults between the ages of 20 and 44 were hospitalized for coronavirus. About .1 to .2% died from the virus.

    Borders to Aus now closed to travellers that are not citizens. Bit late it's already here and spreading. Still won't shut schools when clearly social distancing is going in one ear and out the other. 3 people from my work went home sick with flu symptoms today and 3 more getting sick including both bosses. One boss is my brother and he never goes home sick but he was burning up with a temperature today. We hope it's just the normal flu but that's almost half of work down with sickness. I disinfected everything at work today and drew a line around my desk so no one came near me.

    I just got out of my GP's office and she reckons this will take 6 months and unless you are elderly and have a pre-existing condition there is no need to panic.

    I’ve read it, thanks. Was referring to mortality rates not illness in my comments. I have the right to decide who I am most concerned about within my family and friends without your criticism of that, as do you with your loved ones.

    Did the GOP just sign a death warrant for 6 million?

    ...

    Republican Sen. Ron Johnson cast doubt on the severity of federally issued guidance aimed at staunching the spread of the novel coronavirus, urging people to consider the economic drawbacks of the recommendations

    "I'm not denying what a nasty disease COVID-19 can be, and how it's obviously devastating to somewhere between 1 and 3.4 percent of the population," Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Tuesday. "But that means 97 to 99 percent will get through this and develop immunities and will be able to move beyond this."

    But we don't shut down our economy because tens of thousands of people die on the highways. It's a risk we accept so we can move about," 

    ...

    It's just a bad version of the flu. My garbage man used to be a doctor and told me so while picking up my trash.


    "    between 1 and 3.4 percent" of 320 million is not measured in thousands, a$$hole GOP Senator. Try many millions. Go back to sniffing Trump's arse.

    But you are posting in a public forum and are appearing extremely callous that your under 60 friends and family with very treatable and normally minor conditions such as asthma and hypertension may be facing a lethal disease?

    That comforts you?

    Women living with violent men risk being severely affected by the corona crisis.
    Isolation and economic crisis can trigger violence - in China there are reports of a threefold violence in close relation.

    Was reported on the news tonight. Police fear domestic violence cases will rise this year as a result of this isolation.

    It was sarcasm. People getting a sense of security from doctors that they know socially who are not ID experts is not accurate information.

    Anyone getting false comfort because covid "only happens to old people"

    A member of the band we love, whose name is at the top of this page,  who is just 6 years from being in this high risk age category...

    Also lives with well known ailment (that's been posted on porch historically), has talked about related incidents on stage during his career and this condition could affect immune system efficiency 

    Anyone still going to post about how comforted they are in the covid pandemic?
