Saw a tweet saying South Korea is finding an alarming number of young persons carrying the virus. They are asymptomatic and spreading it.

The most vulnerable group are our doctors, nurses, EMT, firefighters.. They go down, we go down.
Yes, which is why the rest of us must stay home if at all possible.

Staying home is patriotic.

IF there aren't 10s of thousands of deaths, then the strategy worked.

You don't believe hard data, either? SMH.

Sounds like you're looking forward to it. Be careful what you wish for.

All the best for your niece, her family and her employer. No doubt more of us will feel it hitting home in the next couple of weeks.

Honestly at this point the best thing I could do for my family is get it and die from it so they get the life insurance.

Lack of tests is still a thing
Quote:
On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont (D) stated that 200 nurses in his state are on furlough because they can’t be tested for coronavirus.

Lamont said, “I can tell you, Danbury Hospital is already at capacity, and they have 200 nurses who are on furlough because they were in contact. If I could test those nurses, I could potentially get them back into the game a lot sooner.”
