Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 27, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 27, 2020 It was very clear on who is coming into the hospital, who is needed ICU care and who is dying. The vast, vast majority is elderly with pre-existing conditions. I'm not being critical of how America has reacted. I'm simply stating he made it very clear the deadliness of this illness is a very specific group. He stated multiple times 80% or more infected need zero treatment and barely feel sick.

Not saying this should have been handled differently and I get scaring kids into participating in social distancing and isolation however I don't agree with perpetuating a false fear in our youth.

All I'm saying. You miss the contagious issue. Young people may not be sick enough to be a death number but they do carry it to others. Scaring kids? False fear?

Yes and its too late to focus on quarantining just them. That ship has sailed however, that needs to be looked at as a possible solution on the next one. The pre-existing condition list of who this is deadly for was pretty specific that was shown on the news last night and it was mainly the elderly with those conditions. Nobody is saying a few young people aren't going to die but the numbers will be EXTREMELY low. Likely less than 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
