Can you quote the flu statistics too (for comparison)?
I don't know but I just want to point out that the flu is pretty dang deadly and we really don't want another flu-like illness on top of it.
And since we are on the topic of the flu:

“It first struck me how different it was when I saw my first coronavirus patient go bad. I was like, Holy shit, this is not the flu. Watching this relatively young guy, gasping for air, pink frothy secretions coming out of his tube.”
The article linked above is terrifying.

Apparently in Italy 99% of those who died from the virus suffered from other illnesses. Only three deaths so far are attributed to people with no known underlying health issues.
From the article
More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease.

The average age of those who’ve died from the virus in Italy is 79.5. As of March 17, 17 people under 50 had died from the disease. All of Italy’s victims under 40 have been males with serious existing medical conditions.
Great so only those in the US with high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease will perish. Hope you don't know anyone with any of those issues.
40% of the American population over the age of 50 has high blood pressure. Just fyi.
Well, that’s great. My 15 yr old son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 2 weeks ago. I’m still going to work (at a bank) because I need the health insurance to pay for his insulin. I’ve been wearing gloves and washing my hands like crazy. I fluctuate between thinking I should stay home to protect him and being scared of losing my job.

Tested positive? How'd they get a test if it was mild?

For the 1000th time this is not the FLU. Just stop.

I am on hypertension medication and my blood pressure is normal. Does that mean that I am "normal" or still considered one with high blood pressure?
