Doesn't seem to be the case at my mother's assisted living home.
The interesting news though is most everyone has very mild symptoms.

This even before the first dose

I watched it......I have only heard of stories like this from my sister and an ICU nurse in Westchester County. To see what that poor man is going through and the news he gets.....well......it got to me. I cant imagine what goes through your head. My dad was on a vent before he died. It's awful. This is something the maskless people should have to look at.

Very sad. And the doctors and nurses on the front lines should get eternal gratitude.

But the video also focuses on a small percentage of Covid patients. The poor man in the video has COPD and is 70 years old (if you listen to them discuss his stats). COPD alone can easily kill you with a common cold that turns into pneumonia. Doesn't make his story any less sad, but so many people have been paralyzed with fear from videos like these when most survive. Even my 82 year old father with COPD survived with moderate symptoms.

Thanks, I figured out why. My computer was set to my work Google account, which does restrict it. When I signed out as well as when I went into my personal Google account it worked.

But like the video said, "he had one visitor in 6 months, and that visitor gave Brian COVID".

That's what the problem is with this. Willing to bet the visitor had very mild symptoms. Very easy spread but very random outcomes. I just learned yesterday that the mother of a childhood friend of mine who lived a block from me died of COVID Wednesday. She lived in Florida now and I hadn't seen her in at least 20 years but we had lots of Facebook contact even as recent as a couple of months ago. Shook me to the core.....

Saw report from Yale that a significant but in the minority of hospital admins for CV are actually elective and emergency cases coming in who are all screened for CV. So some show up unaware they are positive.
But they are not admitted due to CV reasons, but still listed as if they were.

That was rough. Should be watched by anyone high risk that isn’t taking things seriously.

Yes that’s been a problem, when data isn’t parsed “with” and “from”.
