    Bottom line as I see it is that in 6 months we will all need to eat the skittles, and live life knowing that their is a predator out there who may take us. There will be no choice financially then to go forward. If it was a 10%-20% killer, maybe no. We evolve into a colony and it's back to working together in the dark ages. But at 1% or less we will all be taking a risk in 6 months if u ask me and death will become an acceptable form of living.

    Damn.. 52? That’s too close for comfort for GEn X.

    We’re probably going to be getting more of these stories..

    I have one of my former Judo students who might have it. She's sick and so far has gotten conflicting results so they're still testing. This might make y'all worried. She's in her late 20's..

    It's not only eating the skittles. It's waiting in line at the hospital along with people who got hurt from other things..

    You think ERs suck ass because it made you wait 4 hours wee early in the morning?

    What if you had to wait until the next morning...if you could.

    not necessarily, but many or even most of us will, if the trajectory holds.

    sorry for all your bad news.

    Maybe we'll learn to not screw with the animals and nature. which is probably why these things happen.

    Or the possibility that someone on this BBS will spread the virus to someone more at risk and be the reason why they die.

    The precautions shouldn't be out of worry for yourself. They should be out of worry for how your actions will impact others. Refusing to participate in social isolating is dangerous to everyone you come in contact with and everyone they come in contact with and everyone they come in contact with. I understand not understanding this two weeks ago, but at this point it's just absurd.

    Its working out to be a sh*itty numbers game and lottery

    I assume (maybe exists) a test at some point to confirm if ever had it. Once that comes out wouldnt be surprised if this is one of those deals where you are the exception to not have it.
