[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's an important story. We've been in a bubble with my elderly parents since the pandemic began. 8 days ago my kids were visiting them, and without telling me my parents let a relative who was visiting from out of town stop by. They met inside, without masks, and when my parents told me that I was floored. I couldn't believe it... They just said that they felt it would be ok. Two days ago my kids developed a sore throat and runny nose. Now I can't smell anything and have a runny nose. I'm getting tested today and we've all been staying put. Because of their behavior of not taking this seriously we could die. [/quote]
Once again.. children don't die of covid! Non-elderly adults rarely do, too.
Chill, PP, enough of this hysteria![/quote]

Ignorant. Do you not know that increasing numbers of "recovered" patients are experiencing heart problems, other organ damage, brain fog and focus issues that go on and on, unending fatigue, shooting pains that don't end when they're "recovered" etc.?

You're in the simplistic "either you die or you get well" camp, I see.

This virus is not as simple as that. Oh yeah, and children can die from it. It's less likely, but no less horrible for their families. Generalized statements like "children don't die of Covid" only encourage people to be idiots about letting kids get exposed. And even if kids don't show symptoms or sicken or die, they can still infect other people. Including "non-elderly adults" who may end up with the ongoing problems you seem to think don't exist.

And the rises in cases around the country are being driven largely by positive cases in younger adults, 20s to 30s, due to going out after restrictions were lifted too soon.[/quote]

it's not ignorant. PP was responding directly to the other PP's statement of "...we could die."

the answer of "children don't die ..." is absolutely the correct, scientifically proven response to that statement. just because you don't like the science, for whatever weird reason, doesn't mean it isn't real.[/quote]
