I don’t have the answers but this is a bigger issue than COVID in my eyes. We should step back from the virus and ask what are we doing that is causing such a high percentage of young people to remotely think that way? Granted, this is one study and “seriously consider” has some subjectivity but I’ve seen first hand you can’t assume the wouldn’t go through with it. Clearly there is something missing in the area of true self worth and deep connections to family and friends.

Yeah these are potentially long lasting problems for some of the young people. Is this going to become the new normal for every pandemic now? That's not good.

I don’t know the context but I assume that percentage is higher than normal. Regardless, there’s more to this than simply the virus. Hopefully it gets addressed but I doubt it. Young adult and child depression and anxiety were through the roof before this pandemic. Why? What are we doing to cause it? How do we reduce it?

Not sure. More real life interactions. Less social media.

In case you missed it @evillawyer

You were so excited when he became infected.

Let’s see if I can do this right. He’s just a Trumpanzee. He knows nothing because he isn’t an epidemiologist and him speaking about his own personal experience is a danger to society and irresponsible.

And it means absolutely nothing. We need to stop testing except for those with symptoms and those working in healthcare.

So if I have prolonged close personal contact with someone who tests positive I should not get tested? Even though we know a large population of people are asymptomatic. That makes a ton of sense.

So at what point do we stop hurting those who do it right? Why continue to coddle those who simply don't want to help themselves? It's harsh but this should be a real wakeup call for many but I doubt it will be. I hear no one of any influence touting better health for better immunity. There's vulnerable and then there's vulnerable by choice

How much can one's immune system be fixed through healthy living? I live relatively healthfully and mine is all screwed up.

are they associating this with covid? I think they are barking up the wrong tree. Every covid19 I've seen and taken care of have echocardiographs and cardiac ultrasounds. I usually assisted. Not one has show the myocardial tissue affected. Who brought this horse puckey up?
I can say that those who continue to test positive even after 5 weeks and continue to do poorly will probably have virions in all their muscle tissue. If you don't interrupt the replication with drugs or the immune system it will continue to replicate unfettered. That's really late in the illness though.

Like there's a need for another reason for criticism.

He's criticized when he does anything, right or wrong.

Your whining never gets old.

OBTW, isn't it Congress that has the "power of the purse?" Isn't it the House that proposes spending and taxes? All the President can really do is veto.

Let's not forget the additional debt that has been created due to the COViD pandemic, and who wants to spend an addition $3 Trillion.

Besides all that, it still was a empty promise. But you are blind to putting real criticism where the fault lies, the Democrat controlled House of Representatives.

The president’s tax cuts - passed by a Republican house - have not created the tax revenue that was projected and have increased the deficit. He’s had a Republican house longer than he’s had a democratic house. I completely get there are two sides to the budget balance and it isn’t just about revenue. But in the time they had together, The only fiscal thing the president and his Republican house accomplished was increasing the deficit.

Whose trying to? And no it makes zero sense. You want to make sure people who have been exposed get tested. I bet you are just loyal enough to apply for one of these new job openings.

For months we’ve heard how much more testing is needed. We can’t do this or that until we get a bunch of testing. Tens of millions of tests later it still isn’t enough for Dems. Now look what’s going on in schools. A family member of ours goes to Oak Ridge. Someone in his class “showed COVID symptoms” and now they sent everyone in that class home for 2 weeks and they have to get tested. It’s madness. For the kid with symptoms that’s fine but for everyone else it makes no sense and adds more burden to the testing process for those that are more in need. Look at Biden/Obama back during H1N1. They stopped testing. They were right to do so. It’s expensive and unnecessary. If you get a negative test today you could easily get the virus tomorrow. What good did that test do?
