Anyone who steps into a group of people who are constantly at one another's throats about absolutely everything and asks them such a question, and thinks they can bank on the veracity of any of those answers, they are a complete fool. If you actually read any of these threads you will conclude that, at any given time, someone is lying.
You can't really be lying if your mind tells you that it's the truth . Some people don't have the mental capacity.
In the second week of February I had to make two separate business trip, which necessitated that I went through the Atlanta airport four times in one week.
After I got home, I had the worst chest cold of my life.
It took 5 weeks to get over and the coughing was severe. Although I had no fever and there was chest congestion it was not easy to bring up.
The coughing hurt so bad after the first week that my stomach muscles ached every time I coughed.
Do you think all the Drs and nurses that died at the front lines had underlying conditions ? The 5 yr old girl ? Do you think healthy people cannot die from this I guess is the better question.
I personally know 3 people in NJ, aged mid 30’s- early 50’s. No underlying conditions. Took all three 6 + weeks before they began to feel better. None of them know each other. None of them feel 100%.
New York area definitely has a higher viral load than almost anywhere else

Yes, but it is extremely, extremely rare.
People say so and so is healthy like no other but in the end, they may have had a heart defect etc.
So far... Wife's coworker husband has died. A EMT (or was it a paramedic) in my town has died (he was young too). The owner of a convenience store in my town has died.... 24/7 store that hasn't closed its doors in decades was locked.. sad. Very early in the outbreak (just a day or two before shuttering schools), there was a parent and child in one of my kid's classes that was hospitalized. However due to privacy concerns, they didn't release the identities which is understandable. I have no idea if they made it. I think shuttering the school soon after the news probably stop the spread within the school itself.
So far we've been lucky... My entire family was sick between Xmas and New Years. We all just assumed it was the Flu... but I tested negative for Flu (all three of my kids tested positive) but was sick in bed for a week. So its possible the family has already been exposed and we just don't know because no tests.
I do agree that Containment has failed....
As such, I do agree we will all get it eventually. My feeling is that testing and an effective treatment is very important at this point... much more so than a vaccine.

You really need to do more reading. Young healthy people ARE dying. It is not as rare as you think.
Stay well.
