[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unlike SARS, people contracted with Coronavirus don’t show symptoms- no fever or coughing whatsoever for as long as 3 weeks, during which they spread it to the community without knowing. There is just a new positive in Fairfax City. Before this patient was admitted to the hospital on March 5, was he quarantined at home, or did he go shopping, has he been to any parks, the library, any playground? Which people has he visited? Where does his children work? Where have they been to? Does he have grandchildren going to FCPS? Fairfax City or county Health Department should investigate and let us know.

Children and young people do die from coronovirus. Healthcare workers, too. The published death toll from other countries are not always accurate. People die at home and don’t make it to the number because they don’t get admitted to the hospital due to shortness of beds during the early weeks of the outbreak. Many who did still weren’t counted because during those weeks, diagnose was by test kit that were 30-50% accurate and did not count CT scan. People here don’t realize how severe it is. Some think it’s about elderly people, don’t want to close school until there is “sign of community spread” or just for free lunch, and don’t trust masks. [/quote]

Yes, Karen. Average age of death in Italy (which we can assume is more trustworthy than China, no?) is 81, and almost all with existing respiratory problems. But let's talk about children dying, instead, no?  [/quote]

Let’s stop implying that kids are just dying at home all over the place. Ridiculously alarmist.[/quote]
