We need to get serious about not getting confused.
I don't think anyone here ever said it only affects elders. We all said, including you, Covid-19 is "more lethal" to elders. That DOES NOT mean it doesn't effect young people. It's just less likely. Please don't practice what those fake news medias do on us. Fake news medias take only a portion of what someone said and make it as if that's the only thing that person said. Please look at the WHOLE context.
Haha. The fake media exposed this virus, the fake media exposed Wells Fargo scandal (people were getting charge fees for accounts they did not know they have) Blame it on the media.
You are lucky to live in America where there is freedom of press. Some places edits/control the media like China.
The only real way we were going to prevent complete economic devastation was suppressing and containing the virus, by doing tracing, testing, and quarantine.
So, I don?t think you are being an alarmist.
TI, especially without fortune and Irvinecommuter, leans heavily Rebublican/conservative/pro-trump.
On TI, I don?t see much of any criticism of Trump missing the crucial window of opportunity to suppress and contain, when we had low number of COVID-19 case.
Instead, we are arguing and debating whether to sacrifice grandma for the Dow.
Because, media and news outlet already done a good job pointing out his mis-steps. He is not in synch with medical experts over the coronavirus crisis and if he ultimately put out the order for lifting restrictions for back to normal, which won't be normal, and outbreak counts and death push up much higher, it will make him doom even more. But hey, shit already hit the fan, let it fling it around a bit faster with the blades run at full speed.

Also saw the mom of this 25yr old interviewed on FoxNews and she said he was completely healthy, had no history of asthma or any medical complications. Guess he could have something she wasn't aware of, but sad none the less. He's still alive but put into a medically induced coma:https://www.pix11.com/news/coronavi...of-pennsylvania-for-clinical-trial-remdesivir

I know I have been a bit of an alarmist on the topic so far, but I'd welcome any contradictory argument with valid data and I am open to being persuaded to a brighter outlook.
As of now, we have 706 deaths over 53740 confirmed cases. Which is a 1.3% mortality ratio. What if, we have only 10% coverage on testing and another 90% (~500k) souls are just carrying Corona (virus, they can drink any beer they like) and partying on the beaches? Never tested, never counted, not showing any symptoms. The mortality rate drops 10x.
What if we have only 5% coverage on testing. The situation becomes even less dire and starts to look more like flu.
We already know that we have done a crappy job with testing. We just don't know how crappy.
In light of our capitalist greed mentality and presidential buffoonery, it is not too hard to imagine that we have 5% or less testing coverage.

not Sure why any discussion around Coronavirus eventually gets politicized. It?s obvious that you don?t cripple life as we know it to save for a virus with the same death rate as the flu. The 1.2% death rate is based on testing levels that are not representative of reality. The only way we avoid a complete economic collapse is by not quarantining people and getting back to work. We should have never quarantined people anyway.
People in the US have been getting sick since at least December. The healthcare system is getting overwhelmed because idiots just want to know if they have the virus or not and go to the ER. Who cares about the test. It doesn?t change your outcome.
