Yes, I get that and that's why I comply. It doesn't make it feel any better about having your freedoms restricted

Really, "getting well in droves"....where, exactly?

@AnneWimsey Over 70,000 who were hospitalized in China are well. Most who had the virus had only minor symptoms and were never hospitalized.

@WilliamFleming well, just peachy except for the ummmmm, how many Reported DEAD? And, ummmm. Italy?

@AnneWimsey 150,000 people die every day, and most are elderly. This Coronavirus is a drop in the bucket. Most of those who die would die from flu or something else before long.

All of us old folks are short-timers.

@WilliamFleming latest statistics say 30-50 year olds are dying in bigger numbers.

@AnneWimsey I haven’t seen that. Do you have a link?

@WilliamFleming CDC stats

@AnneWimsey

“Of the 44 people whose deaths were recorded in the report, 15 were age 85 or older and 20 were between the ages of 65 to 84. There were nine deaths among adults age 20 to 64, the report said.”

Maybe 30-50 year olds are dying at a faster rate than was thought before or they are dying at a faster rate than before, but they still have an excellent chance of survival.

Everyone dies at some point—to hell with it. I will continue staying home but I refuse to worry or be afraid.
