An outbreak of a virus is to be expected. My wife's uncle lives in Ft Worth...he's 89...got Covid, got over it with minimal symptoms and no lasting effects (according to his Dr)J.R. said:My parents live in Lubbock and they are in their 70s and there is a most serious per capita break out there.(not TT students) 7 of their friends have it and 2 more have died within the last 2 weeks. They hauled ass to Colorado indefinitely.fadskier said:Just not seeing that here in west Texas. I am now up to 28 people that have had it..only 2 had fever, two had nausea and the rest had allergy like symptoms.Canada2017 said:Unless Remdesivir is somehow mass produced and distributed throughout the country within the next 90 days ....the view from your porch is going to be reminiscent of the 1918 pandemic .RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:
Stay strong my friend. Have a fine bottle of wine with the Mrs. on the back porch and enjoy a fine cigar. Distance yourself from the rest of the lepers connected to civilization. This too, shall pass.
Best estimates now ( without a vaccine or widely available treatment ) are a total of 400,000 to 500,000 dead by March 1, 2021.
And like the 1918 pandemic for every person who dies...at least two survivors suffer long lasting or even permanent damage .
BTW been to a leper colony; was about 15 years ago .
C-19 is far more contagious than leprosy .
It is just not that dangerous to people that do not have an underlying medical condition.
People die from a virus and it is unfortunate. My grandmother died of the flu about 16 years ago at 97. She even got the flu shot. I didn't blame anyone. People get sick. Both my parents died of cancer. Should I be mad at Presidents who have allowed so many carcinogens into our food and life around us?
Sorry until there is a vaccine, people are going to catch this and some will die from it.
