This is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE! Young people can become carriers and infect the elderly (which I am now one of) even if they don't have direct contact with them. The virus can survive 3 days on hard surfaces. An infected person can touch a door handle that dozens of other people use, for example.

The elderly/sick have significantly greater mortality, and will overload the hospitals. Thus, the focus should be on self-isolation for the elderly/sick. |

Apparently, for some young people, getting the virus is, indeed, serious. Lou |

Mr. Tow,
2G is spot on. You made this up, right? Take a minute and read up on the basics of epidemiology (i.e., common sense) and not spread this this untruth. Better yet, why not just delete it, please. Another insanity: Calif Gov Newsom tonight issued a stay at home mandate. He claims this was because someone at Johns Hopkins advised him that over half of the state's pop would/could get infected; or 25,500,000 people (~765,000 deaths @ 3%) over the next 8 weeks. I'm for almost every measure he issued, but the way he announced it may promote more panic. I can only imagine he pulled Armageddon out of context somehow. D. |
