And now add smoking and vaping in US in the exact group.. your stats will go through the roof. Kids in other countries do not vape like chimneys..

And childhood obesity rates in America.

And nutritionally depraved poor kids...

Do you honestly think other countries aren't dealing with obesity, malnourishment, and smoking? Smoking rates in the USA are lower than in many other countries.

The whole "let's bash on the USA reflexively" thing is so tired and inaccurate.

Not so fast..
1. No, there is no kids obesity in other countries, not like this.
2. Kids eat free meals at school, see france, germany,, NORMAL HEALTHY FOOD NOT SPAM
3. Kids in US smoke tone more and vape five tons more, They have money and are not afraid to us it. Nowhere in the world kids this early smoke and vape so much!

I would not be surprised if it is my next door neighbors. They are a married couple in their 70s that just recently got back from an international cruise the end of February. They have been out an about since they got back but the past 2 days they have been staying put at home. I am sure this is just a slim chance because in MoCo is huge and I am sure there a lots of older couples that recently got back from international cruises but never the less if anyone just got back from anywhere recently they should just stay in their house for two weeks and not be out and about town.

Link?

I read they were back days earlier.

I hope this is correct. This is why the state should not hide details from the public. People tend to fill in the gaps on their own, and that's normal

I believe they returned on Feb. 20.

The mortality in the 0 to 9 years old is zero.
The mortality in the age group 9 to 19 is NOT ZERO, it is 0.2 %... that is not nothing.. that is 2 people in 1000.

Let me bring it home for you:

MCPS has how many students?: 162,680

With this in mind.. remember 2 kids in one thousand would die.. potentially.. So if we have 162 thousands students..
and all or the most vulnerable will get sick then potentially the loss of life can be as great as 324.

Considering all children with immune issues, I am pretty sure you will easily find 324 kids needing nebulizer. It is
not that all kids will get sick but chances are the ones with already underlying problems might.

So NOT zero but 324 children's lives are at stake..

Whoever tells you there is no risks.. kindly share the table:..



WHO CDC and other institutions supporting this data site and providing all the info that is in the cited source:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/

so you're saying......there's a chance to reduce some overcrowding?

Not funny.

Yeah, let's not joke about kids dying.

To the jokester -- this is distasteful.

Lighten up. No kids have died. It was funny.

Yet.

It’s already here...and everywhere. People are inadvertently passing germs without realizing they’ve been exposed and are carrying it.

Do you all realize that these people had mild cold symptoms and have already basically recovered? Did anyone read the article? They are not on their deathbed.

Probably the S form of the virus.

Help me here.. so we got cruise cases?... how did they end up here? No quarantine ???

Probably not one of the cruises with suspected cases- cruise ship passengers from other ships have not been quarantined.

So how many others from that particular cruise ship are roaming around the country? Always hated cruises...never been on one and now never intend to try it. It's a breeding ground.

So are airplanes. Do you plan to stop flying?

The 3 moco people who tested positive were on a plane back from their cruise. Everyone was theoretically exposed. Then they walked off the plane (probably Dulles), used the restroom, waited for checked luggage, and hopped in a cab/ Uber or picked up their car. They went to the grocery store and ran other errands before becoming sick enough to bunker down. Then they went to an area hospital to be tested. So many people were exposed.

Airplanes are different that cruises in that you are on the plane for a short period of time. Cruises last for days or more. That's why people get sick...more risk of exposure to diseases. Cruises suck...stuck on a big boat with a bunch of people to lazy to plan a real vacation.

Yes. Much higher viral load. These people get off and their immediates also get a higher viral load. But as it travels out further from them, viral load drops and death rate drops.

Italians smoke a lot and people in Europe tend to be more crowded than here. Lots of folk live in apartment blocks.

Now they are trying to retrace what the three did and where they went on a daily basis for the two weeks they were in the area.

SIXTEEN DAYS OF EXPOSING others?.???
The people they infracted on the plain or the way from the airport must be showing symptoms and have no idea this is it... how many people are now at risk?...

We need to know where and when they were so we can be aware. It is not only about close contacts but people in line and on the bus... strangers in passing..

This is America, we work ourselves to death and won’t call in sick. It’s business as usual.

I believe there was no immunity for the raw virus near the epicenter. As this thing mutates and spreads farther out, I'm betting that there will be some immunity, especially in countries that have robust vaccination programs.

Coronavirus are constantly changing as we saw from the research. How do you think we now have a milder form?

I just talked to a friend (not sure I’d call her that now) traveling to a level 3 country with her family who got mad at me when I said (citing CDC’s travel page for said country) her family should stay home for 2 weeks upon return. She’s not going to.

That's not Americans hopped up on their freedom. That's just arrogance and stupidity.

This doesn't actually make sense. You're spouting nonsense.
