FIRST OFF: Beware of Pussy = Cats in NYC got the Virus = Careful what you are petting...
Tequila wants all to know Parrots are safe.
_________________________________________
Even before the first horrific phase of the COVID-19 pandemic has run its course, scientists are worried about the second wave of the disease.
It could crash worse than the first, killing tens of thousands of people who did such a good job of sheltering in place as they remain virgin ground for the virus. Or it could be a mere swell, with so many people having been infected without symptoms that levels of immunity are higher than realized.
There is no crystal ball to look to, because so many crucial pieces of information remain missing. READ MORE...
--04-23-20: www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/hidden-outbreaks-spread-through-us-cities-far-earlier-than-americans-knew-estimates-say/ar-BB1354ax?li=BBnbcA1Hidden outbreaks were also spreading almost completely undetected in Boston, San Francisco, Chicago and Seattle, long before testing showed that each city had a major problem, according to a model of the spread of the disease by researchers at Northeastern University who shared their results with The New York Times. Even in early February — while the world focused on China — the virus was not only likely to be spreading in multiple American cities, but also seeding blooms of infection elsewhere in the United States, the researchers found. As political leaders grappled in February with the question of whether the outbreak would become serious enough to order measures like school closures and remote work, little or no systematic testing for the virus was taking place.

Since we are normally out and about with people and being constantly bombarded with germs, I’m wondering if we aren’t subjecting ourselves to reduced effectiveness of our immune systems for all manner of illness once we all start to hangs out together again...

I am sure the Folks during the Spanish Flu & The Plague worried about the same thing???!!!
Yes, Tequila, INGER funny Human. Ok, Stop laughing, enough is enough Tequila.

The affect may be the reversal of the “so called” herd immunity. For Tequila, that would be flock immunity. For Do Me that would be forgot my condoms immunity... |

I think most get most diseases when they are 18 or younger. That is a primary purpose of schools. Herd immunity

Unless you do home schooling, during which the primary purpose is to keep the children away from those dangerous alternative thinkers... |

This is horrible news. It is a very small percentage of coronavirus deaths, likely comparable to the percentage of young people that die from flu. That doesn’t make it any less horrific. I read stats a couple of days ago (apologize for not noting the source at the time as source is everything any more) that said 95% of deaths thus far were people over 60 and 90% were over seventy, and that a similar percentage of those had co-morbidities. That doesn’t help a family or a significant other cope any better when a young and apparently healthy person suffers a stroke deal with that. I’m sorry for the exceptions to the rules. I have a niece that had a stroke in her late twenties about 20 years ago. These horrible things happen and we can’t always grasp it... |

Difficult to know exactly at this point, as deaths due to COVID-19 may be misclassified as pneumonia or influenza in the absence of positive test results. Still not enough people have been tested, especially those who have had CV and recovered. As the article stated, it’s not only thought to be the lungs affected by the disease anymore but other organs as well. |

As the article stated, it’s not only thought to be the lungs affected by the disease anymore but other organs as well. I’ve read of cases where people who died of other causes were classified as COVID if they tested COVID positive post-mortem so the medical facility could get funding. The complaints were sometimes from people who died of things like auto crashes. Either way, as long as we use false numbers we’re blurring the lines and not allowing the science to reveal truths that are needed to understand the illness and potentially fight it. Politics are everywhere and they so get in the way of truth. It’s quite disgusting. We have a culture that says use the money or lose the funding, so money gets spent instead of lowering budgets like we should see. How is your niece doing? |
