Didn't realize either that all the governors are democrats.

Take a look at the States that are still holding on to strict shelter in place type edicts, and tell me what side those governors fall on.

And what about red states like TN? Our GOP gov (super-majority senate and house, too, by the way) submits re-open plan and the dem-controlled municipalities like Mem, Nash and Know said NO and wanted to drag it out longer.

that is NOT what happened. Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville have their own city run health departments and therefore were allowed to follow their guidance. It was the difference between 4/30 and 5/5...5 days to watch the smaller cities to make sure an immediate surge didn't happen. That seems wise and based on medical science...not politics.

You clearly don’t understand much about this virus or local government if you think they were watching the small cities for 5 days to make sure there wasn’t an immediate surge.

An uptick in cases stemming from business reopening and relaxation of social distancing won’t even start to show until around March 15-20. Even then it will be small because folks slowly started getting out. Such an increase will be hard to parse out of the new case counts because of continuously expanding testing. It’ll take some time for any surge to start to appear. It could be early to mid June or later before a surge in cases stemming from reopening.

Shelby County was busy trying to get all municipalities on the same page during that 5 day delay. Certainly not watching for a surge elsewhere.

I think you mean to say the lesson they really learned is that "When you are more productive than everyone else, Socialists will want to you to take any excuse to stop work and sit on your azz while the dullards of the world play catch up!"

So does the flu and pneumonia, but it’s not very common in them either.

UK stats.
ONS figures released this week show that as of April 24, only 322 people under the age of 45 had died from coronavirus in the UK out of 27,356 deaths in total.

I survived pneumonia at the age of 52....drained outer first (literally in ~30 mins...it was impressive), IV antibiotics, and then stabbed me lung two days later to drain the inner....that's the nastiest shite I've ever seen in me life....almost filled all three cylinders....I'm certain you know I'm not lyin'....

yeah, I crawled into the ER.....I'm stubborn like that when seeking treatment....

#notScaredButScarred

the biggest pet peeve with covid (in my mind) is when forcing choice becomes the standard and relative impact due to such buh muh gubbmint....

god help the masses if any non treatable version releases its' ugly venom.....it'll make #19 look like li'l chillens on the playground vs. convicted pedos....

The state of MS has had exactly 1 death under the age of 30. Zero under 18.
MS Covid stats.

Just because you are young or should I say not really old doesnt mean other things are not wrong with you. If you are 25, 30, or 45 and you are pushing 300 pounds or even less and short. There are underlining conditions. The student that I believe went to Western Michigan (might be another MAC school) that died from this virus looked like he was close to 400 pounds. The media said he was healthy, yeah, right.

If you are grossly overweight...you have major underlining conditions. No matter what age you are. The very first thing I do when I see the press says, so and so died and they had no underlining conditions. I google the name and look for pictures...

cant recall one that wasnt grossly overweight

Ummm....maybe there was that one over there...oh wait, there was an unknown underlying issue...oh so maybe that one....err...maybe?

You are grabbing a the rarest of the rare incidents. But, if you feel the need to hide away for a year or so...be my guest.

It does not.

If you are under the age of 65, and you die FROM Covid, there's an 85% chance that you were either:

1. Morbidly Obese
2. Had Hypertension
3. Had Diabetes

The other 15% would be some other co-morbidity. (Ie NOT Healthy) But this virus does not kill young healthy people. In fact, it doesnt seem to kill old healthy people either.

This. My local news is in on the Hysteria. They did a story about a lady in her early 40s whom they described as having "No underlying health conditions". The story had a video of the staff bringing her out of the hospital and onto a re-hab center. She was on a ventilator and a feeding tube for 35 days. When they pulled her out of the front door of the hospital her girth was literally hanging off the sides of the gurney and she had been on a feeding tube for a month. So she lost at least 30 pounds and more like 50 in the hospital. So she was obviously morbidly obese, and likely had at least Type II diabetes and hypertension.
