    One thousand front line medical workers have now died in the US (heard on news don't have a link) -- crazy if accurate and I don't see why it wouldn't be -- seems low actually.

    I haven't eaten a store sample since I was 5 and generally get irritated if I get asked if I want a store sample because more than anything the person and display are just in my way / blocking traffic.

    The hoax takes another life.... Darwin-style. :

    Texas Doctor Says Man Died After Attending ‘COVID Party’

    https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2020/07/10/texas-doctor-says-man-died-attending-covid-party/

    According to the doctor, the man went to a “COVID party.” Appleby said a “COVID party” is when someone who contracts the virus invites friends over for a party “to see if they can beat the disease.”

    “One of the things that was heart-wrenching that he said to his nurse was, ‘you know, I think I made a mistake’ and this young man went to a COVID part,” Appleby said.

    Appleby told KSAT that young patients sometimes aren’t aware of how sick they can get from the virus.

    “People will come in initially and they don’t look so bad. They don’t look really sick. But when you check their oxygen levels and you check their lab tests, they’re really sicker than they appear on the surface,” Appleby said.

    The covid parties aren't just inflated news. They are happening main stream across the country. Dumb asses. Mostly kids. But still morons.

    If someone goes to a covid party and gets sick and dies I am sorry but I dont have any compassion.
    They got what they deserved.
    But what about their parents, relatives, neighbours or friends? They can get them all sick or even killed too.

    looks obese. Might be a wake up call to the HAES types thinking they do not have underlying medical conditions because they are younger.

    the youngest Covid-19 patient my friend has treated that ended up dying was 21...he told me it was shocking how quickly he deteriorated...the virus just attacked his whole body

    Covid parties? I just don’t understand how much common sense u must lack to concoct that BS or to attend.

    I am glad Trump wore a mask today. It may be too late, but it’s better than nothing.

    Does anyone has good information on school age kids (under 16) and how contagious they are once they are infected ? (I know they are less likely to be infected and typically have very mild symptoms once they are)

    I know you think that you got some totally cool "gotcha", but they still don't protect you. They protect everybody else from you.
