Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

In my hood kids are not social distancing at all. My kid is doing rec, travel basketball. Kids are still playing sharks & minnows at the pool.

Let kids be kids

If found positive for antibodies. Would you give plasma?

We were talking about that while giving. I did double red cells so I'm out for 16 weeks but would do it.

Mine are in summer camp and play with all the neighborhood kids when they get home. They're going to have a good summer if I have a say

This is incredible. So, some friends went out and had a good time, contracted a cold virus, caught up on Netflix for a few days, couldn't smell their farts, and now are all likely immune to CV19 and have contributed to herd immunity.

And, it was a "huge mistake???" What kind of disingenuous news anchor would possibly report such bull'*$@?

Curious. From a medical perspective, should we not be concerned that younger folks catching the virus can serve to unknowingly transmit it to older and/or at-risk people?

I think I've heard this argument before....maybe....

Is this the first virus to operate in that manner?

16 friends get virus after night out. Hear their warning.

"A group of 16 friends went out to a crowded Florida bar to celebrate a birthday have all tested positive for coronavirus. They're telling CNN's Chris Cuomo that it was too soon to be around large crowds, and going out without a mask was a mistake."

FL bar.

Translation:
16 people do their part for herd immunity AND see their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be featured on a national news program.

Same here. I gave plasma a lot at UT. $50 bucks back then.

No. There's plenty of research from around the world disproving that idea. I'll link a new article hitting the press this month.

They stole a double shot and gave me back plasma in change. All for a lousy tshirt

Curious. From a real life perspective, with all the viruses, bacteria, and pathogens on literally every surface you touch every day, are we only allowed outside while wearing a full body condom?

Also, I have maintained from the start that older/at-risk individuals and nursing homes should be isolated. It's up to the rest of us to build immunity and, thus, protect them long term.

Anyone hospitalized?

Neither article is relevant to my question. One, my concern is related to infected young people (in this case, beer-drinking age), and two, my concern is the transmission from them to older/at-risk people, not the other way around.

This this this ... we actually protect them by building immunity . Why is that so misunderstood?

 

[rjd970]

The idea that massive crowds at protests are not dangerous and crowds just at Trump rallies are dangerous has got to be the dumbest assault on our intelligence that I have ever heard. I literally can't believe MSM outlets are running this narrative.

Interesting. That's good news. Thanks.

Your original post was vague to age.
