Healthy lifestyle is probably one of the major factors.
Healthy, not being beset with worries, panic, fear, which are factors in weakening your immune system. The only thing to fear is fear itself.

I continue to live fearlessly.

They've could have caught a cold or a flu and it probably would have killed them as well.

We're going to find out real soon that shutting down our economy over this virus was a stupid decision.
Have you seen what’s happening on NYC? Or is that a nothing burger too?

It doesn't mean that half of all people tested are positive. It means of those that are positive, half show no symptoms.
Half of positive subjects showing no ill effects makes the virus appear mild.

This is HUGE!!!

What does this all mean?
It means that Covid-19 is one of the biggest NOTHING BURGERS in world history.
Most people in the western world are already infected and don't know it because they had no symptoms or only very mild symptoms.

Time to get on with life folks!

We live in the USA Vinnie. 500,000 cases 20,000 deaths.
Open up the economy in Utah.

You need to ask the people of NYC, who have lost 3x as many people as 9/11 in the last couple weeks, if this is a nothing burger.

What about the other half? Some of them get sick and some of them die.

Half the people don’t have the disease.

Half the people who do have the disease have no symptoms.

2000 Americans died today of this nothing burger. I’m sure their loved ones don’t think it’s nothing.

So correct your title if ya want any credibility.

Try learning to read. Ten percent were tested. 1600 tested positive. Half of those, about 800, had no symptoms.

2000 Americans died today of this nothing burger.

The OP could not even comprehend his own link.

Btw, COVID-19 now is the number one cause of death in the US if it holds at this rate.

Heart disease had been #1 and averages 1772 deaths per day.

Real nothing burger.
