There's a pandemic. My answer is the pandemic is overblown. I am mainly concerned about deaths, not if someone was sick for a few days. And I'm not concerned if a lot of people over 80 or are in stage 3 cancer die. They were going to die anyway.I don't disagree with you on many of your comments but here are 3 points to consider:
You're the conspiracy believer. I said long ago that since young people aren't affected schools should remain open people but people like you demand schools be closed. I don't think most masks are that effective and most aren't but people like you demand that they be worn.
At the end of all this, I'd like to see an audit of all the COVID declared deaths. IMO, age and co-morbidities will be shown to play a huge role on whether a person died, hospitalized or just got inconveniently sick for a few days like the flu.
I've been very consisent with this, especially around COVID deaths. Remember the Harris County judge set up two large emergency hospitals for COVID patients and few showed up. Believe the evidence. BTW, the parking lot of the hospital by is about 30% full. Originally Posted by gnadfly

2. No one knows the negative long-term impact of COVID-19 for those who contracted the virus and lived. I have read and heard about people who have had brain, liver, lung, and muscular problems long after they "recovered" from their bout with the virus.
3. One of my grandsons is quarantined at home for 2 weeks because someone in his 4th grade class tested positive for COVID-19. Do you think that that is correct procedure or would you recommend some other procedure?
