If you want to take a chance on whether you are lucky or not, then be my guest How old were your friends and did they have any pre-covid-19 medical conditions?

Ridge...you continue to seek comfort in statistics. Both of my friends were 60. One was a type II diabetic. (so is Tom Hanks) and died on a ventilator...the other was a bit over weight (gosh i don't know anybody like that) and died of a heart attack after covid caused his blood to thicken. Think what you want and continue to hide behind stats, but if you get it, and it's very possible that you might, then good luck! I'm not willing to take a chance on the odds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry about the loss of your friends. All I am trying to do is get more firsthand knowledge about the disease. At age 74 I realize that I am in the high risk group, so I take precautions (mask, social distancing, and spending most my time alone at home), but I don't believe healthy younger people should be prevented from working and living normal lives. Protect the most vulnerable and allow everyone else to live normal lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protect the most vulnerable and allow everyone else to live normal lives. The issue with younger people is that they can pass it on easily. I am very worried about the economy...trust me! My son has lost his job and it will not come back any time soon (or ever if they don't find a cure). Masks do help...staying away from crowds and confined spaces where people congregate such as bars, concerts and sports events. In short, common sense will see us through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protect the most vulnerable and allow everyone else to live normal lives. The thing is, everyone is vulnerable. No matter the age, race, or sex. I am overjoyed that I can continue my general work schedule. I work alone 95% of the time. The 5% of the time I'm near anyone it's just to sign my paperwork and I get off of the property. If I must wear a mask to get into a grocery store, so be it. I need to eat. But, I'm not going to wear it at home or driving down the road by myself. I see people of all walks of life all by themselves either driving, walking their dog, sitting in the front yard, etc... and they're wearing a mask! What's the point there? Unless you are trying to subliminally convey a certain point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the younger infected people are asymptomatic and if not for covid-19 testing would not even know they were infected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
