In pasadena, LA county, a healthy 34 year old man started coughing, next day, he coughed up blood, he went to the emergency room and died 2 days later. Tested positive, covid-19 He traveled from Florida to LA.

Still think this only happens to older people?

This is a very serious illness.

Trump is not following social distancing when in the pressers. The press room is way too small and the pressers should be done outdoors so that adequate social distancing can be practiced by members of the press as well as those speaking.

It is a disgrace that he is endangering everyone that attends those pressers via 1) not being in isolation for 14 days and 2) not providing a space large enough for proper social distancing.
Sounds impeachable, get Schiff on it ASAP, hearings next week.

The coronavirus may be able to linger in the air for at least half an hour, last for days on some surfaces, and travel almost 15 feet, a new study has found.

Even if you stay away from everybody at least 6 feet, it is still not enough.

The old and at risk should take neccesary precautions. The rest of us should carry on.

Thing is: The old and sick don't take necessary precautions.

and MOST LIKELY, they won't even call, they just show up at the emergency room and give it to all the hospital staff.

What will the rest of so called healthy people do if we don't have any hospitals to go to, just in case we need one?!

sheesh, enforce that order: People over 65, stay home! Enforce it.

I do not think anyone has really, only localities here and there.

Even Italy has not, the worse hit areas on supposed lock down has plenty of people out and about, public trans going, etc.

I guess you missed the memo, lol.

Many people that are not old nor had any medical conditions are landing in ICU.

That is one memo you missed.

The other memo is that since we still do not know much about this virus, we do not know its mutation potential, hence this thing could mutate into a third or fourth strain and hit any part of the population.

Healthy people can be asymptomatic carriers.

The reason schools are shut down is not because the virus is super dangerous for young people, but young people can spread it older members of the community without knowing it.
