AKIQPilot Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Yep. It isn't just old and sick people filling up hospital beds. A few guys here called BS when I mentioned it earlier this evening. 20% is more than just a couple. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/19/health/coronavirus-age-victims/index.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This store where he worked is about 5-7 kms from me. https://globalnews.ca/news/6739483/coronavirus-real-canadian-superstore-oshawa-employee-dies/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very dangerous for the old and sick but it can kill just about anyone regardless of how old or healthy they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only that a big age range like that is not conclusive proof that its killing many young healthy people and the article doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt say anything about it killing young healthy people. I said young people are being infected and taking up hospital beds. You called BS. Time to start taking this a little more serious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go back I'm simply wanting accurate non static data thats not put together to scare or not show the seriousness properly. Its all over the place. 20-44 is a huge range. Only 1 person under 15 has died in the world according to the pc the other day. 1. Edited March 27, 2020 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you live? Are you taking this seriously? I live in NJ fairly close to the so called epicenter. ..... I'm taking it as seriously as I can. I refuse to shake hands anymore.....and I do avoid Costco when crowded. I work as normal and was just asked by someone today why I don't wear gloves and aren't I afraid..... I told them what's the sense of wearing gloves?....I touch and wipe my face and eyes whether I have gloves on or not, in fact the virus probably sticks like a magnet on gloves and makes it worse.

I have become aware of touching my face when and after being in public, heading to the grocery store on the way to work, I'll take advantage of the senior shopping hours of 6:00 to 8:00 am, and I'll wear gloves and a mask in the store.

In any event the N-95 blocks the out take and intake. We just purchased 500 N-95 masks @ $8.00 each for our employees, were we gouged? Yes of course, but we put safety above all else and are we are looking to purchase another 500-1000 masks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder about standing at a public urinal with all the pee on the floor you see at many places. Is pee a way to transmit the Virus, as it would be on your shoe soles.
