How can you avoid it if you aren’t a complete recluse? It lives on cardboard for 12 hours!

I don’t know how we are going to protect our elderly until the vaccine is perfected in probably 18 months.
The young doctor in China who died was 34.

Medical authorities in Italy are now reporting that they are beginning to see young adults being admitted to the ICU: "You have no idea how many young people are here, I mean even 20-year-olds with no underlying conditions, in need of assisted breathing because of horrible pneumonia."

Default As terrible as it is that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson contracted the virus...

Maybe, just maybe, in the larger scheme of things more and more people will take this thing seriously. And, if, God willing, they get through this with no lasting effects it may give hope for others.

Wishful thinking here.

They are lucky they are in Australia where it’s easy to get a test. Not like the USA.

100% agree. It just goes to show how quick this thing can spread if someone like this - who probably flies in a private jet, has personal assistants handle a lot of their daily "chores," and spends less time mingling with society than the average Joe can get it.

First and second cases in my state just reported. They are unrelated and have no known contact with each other and don't live in the same town or neighboring towns to each other.

Being that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are both 63, may show how people who are of a similar age will recover, if they are infected. Since I'm nearly the same age, I will keep a sharp eye on their recovery news.
