It is also impossible to isolate the vulnerable. Take my dad, in a rehab for a broken hip. His rehab is staffed by nurses and CNAs. Do we isolate them, too, to protect him? Those nurses and CNAs have spouses and kids. If one of them gets it they pass it to the nurse who passes it to one rehab resident and BOOM - everyone in that rehab is sick. Vulnerable people are linked into the community for their care - they are unable to be fully isolated. |

Oh stop that nonsense with isolating vulnerable already.
When you add all those groups: Heart problems - 125 Million Asthmatics - some 50 Millions Cancer... Diabetes.. Immunosupressed.. You and up with some 70% of the country. Factor in, most of those people are exposed through the kids and young adults who work then you o up to 80%.. Now if of the reminder 20% you most likely need to keep tabs of who is well and who is sick so you would need to keep testing them ALL the time as today well tomorrow positive would infect the reminder of the pool. How do you propose to do tat? At 250 bucks a test pop? Let me recap: 250 Dolllars one test 2500 - ten tests 25, 000 hundred tests 250, 000 one thousand tests !!!! as in 1000 people.. so o test 1 000 000 you need to spend 250 000 000 bucks Once you come to test 4 million people you have spent an etire BILLION dollars. You tell me... is it worth it? Where does it gets you testing people who are well today and sick tomorrow to retest and retest them? Where do the money come from. Frankly put this into taking care of the existing cases and we have much better spent founds. |

1. NO not most of the country will be fine. Most of the people who will recover from it, even if alive will have o deal with tons of debilitating health issues for life. 2. Are we going to start recession? I don't know, aren't we in cyclic economy that goes through ups and downs and haven't we due one anyway? Would we say the same thing should it come? 3. We don't need to put millions out of the job, once this thing will end, we all will need to go back to live and use the same services. NEEDS will NOT disappear overnight or over few months or weeks whatever. People will STILL need to eat, to shop, to do their hair, to buy cars, to eat in restaurants, to go to the doctor to go to the dentists.. we will need all that so economy won't collapse. People will be hungry for all services and products not having them for so long. 4. Increased suicide you say? Do tell me where will lead deaths of family members exposed to CV due to work or school? Where will lead loosing providers for kids and all.. no suicides you say? debilitating health conditions past CV.. not suicides you say? 5. Domestic abuse and child abuse my dear is not going to change just because you want it to. It is either in people or it is not. If they were at each other's throat all those years, they shell continue, if not they won't start. No change here, no difference. If anything having parents or spouses at home and getting an opportunity to spend some quality time while nobody really never could before might do good rather then bad as you think. Your talking points are very fake and kind of fearmongering if you ask. They are designed to show very one dimensional situation and scare into submission. Yes, we can all suffer some if we keep the country close some, but this is smaller price to pay then infecting everyone and pay then. There will be no going back. No do over no becksies. |

You definitely just made those numbers up. Try a little harder next time. Number of adults with diagnosed heart disease is 30.3 million, not 125 million. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/heart-disease.htm 25 million (not 50 million) have asthma https://www.aafa.org/asthma-facts/ |

Three questions and sorry if they have been covered but I could not find them.
Does anyone with relevant expertise know: 1. How common getting corona more than once is? ( it has been reported but I am not sure whether that is rare or common) 2. Do most people build immunity to the virus if they get corona once but recover? (since it seems as though it has mutated and people are getting it more than once). 3. If people had it in the past, but recover, will the test show whether they have had it in the past? (I suspect family members had it six weeks ago but clinic refused to test them as we had not traveled and they did not need hospitalization although pretty sick with flu like symptoms plus they tested negative for flu and strep). Thanks in advance for information in this (if links to articles, I would prefer sources with scientific credibility not political blowhards pushing their own agendas). Thanks and stay as well as possible everyone. ๐ |

1. Probably uncommon 2. Probably 3. Probably It's novel. No one can tell you definitive answers. |

Dahling .. at your service.. and please do not call me a liar.. CDC is no your only source.. dig deeper.. ask different questions.. According to the study from the American Heart Association, 121.5 million Americans, or about 48.5 percent, dealt with heart or blood vessel disease as of 2016. I admit being off by 4 million but that is not what you imlying.. lol Published January 31st 2019.. USA Today.. Nearly half of Americans have heart disease, study says https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2019/01/31/heart-disease-nearly-half-u-s-adults-have-it-study-finds/2729955002/ |
