Some? I'd say a good chunk of us would test positive. Antibody testing is showing that for the majority of the population out there this virus is asymptomatic.
Which further reinforces how fricking stupid all of this is.

The percentage of old people actually catching this and dying is still a small percentage of old people

quote:that is how I was. I am super high risk so at first I was freaked out and didn't want anyone over. I never wanted things shut down though. I can stay home (and even quit my job to protect myself) without government interference. But now it doesn't seem to be rampant with friends or family at all so I am OK with visits. My kids refuse to come over though because no one wants to be the one to give mama rona. A few friends have come by and sat on the other side of our patio.
my mom was pretty serious about no visitors in the beginning. She's done with it now.

I played golf with a gentleman yesterday who is in the higher risk group( age and pre-existing conditions) .He said he thought this shutdown was stupid and as soon as the casino opened he was going .

and he should absolutely have the right to make that decision for himself. I shudder to think about what this country would look like if some of the Karens and Nancys were in charge of the Bill of Rights.

I’m over 70 and did this a month ago. Play golf 4-5 times a week, visit my grandchildren. I understand the disease but you have to live.

Daughter and son in law live in suburban CT. Son in laws father,step mother, aunt, uncle, and cousins all live close by in CT. They would not get together and even when they did, no shaking hands, no hugging or kissing. For weeks! Daughter and and son in law (who can work from home at very lucrative salaries) said “F...this”, road tripped to us and stayed for a month of Zoom work, exercise, outdoors, family time, good weather and more freedom than greater NYC. Was really nice to have them around and a great big Mother’s Day gift por me esposa.

We saw my wife’s parents for first time tidal since this all started. We brought over Mike Anderson’s, sat in the backyard for about 2 hrs and ate and visited. They insisted we come over.

When you get that old you know your time is running out. Why would you stay holed up instead of going to see your loved ones who likely give you more satisfaction than anything in the world.
I’d probably be a bit cautious. Ask the family to take precautions and such. Waiting a few weeks to help my odds of another decade wouldnt be a dream come true but just like eating healthy, or driving safely, I’d be mindful of this.
I wouldn’t want to die alone or put my family through not being able to be there if I got sick either.
Doesn’t mean I’d be in a bunker but we’d have some real talk discussions as a family.

As soon as you're born you start dying so you might as well have a good time.

There was a ton of traffic around town yesterday. Got the boat on the water today.

There's some wisdom and some stupidity in this. It is a wise person who understands the risks and hazards them anyway. I respect that. However, it's clearly false that God just picks your time. We see people die all the time because they chose to take a risk - mountain climbers fall, race car drivers crash, etc. You can say it was just their time, but if they hadn't been climbing a mountain without ropes they'd still be alive.

What changes in two weeks? Or four weeks?

Went to the mother-in-laws Sunday...she's at the same point...she hugged her daughter like crazy...said she just didn't care anymore. I think everyone seriously underestimated how crucial contact like that is to people.

There is no reason to continue this charade. Also, we should just open up completely, none of this phase bullshite

I'm 78 and my wife (no pics!) is 77. We went to her daughter's for Mothers' Day - about twenty people were there: her children, in-laws, grandchildren and great grandchildren. At first social distancing, ie no handshakes or hugs, but after a few bloody marys', champagne, and beer, it turned into a regular hug fest as everybody was leaving.

I have in laws that are super ate up with 'rona prevention. They won't allow anyone into their house. They order groceries to be delivered, and when they arrive, the sit outside the house in gloves and masks sanitizing every package with Clorox wipes as they take them out the bags.
Of course that family is always sick, and their house is basically a petri dish, so I guess I can't blame them.
