I guess you haven't figured out that using the term "gay" to show disdain for something is like having the mind of a 12 year old.

This is why caution becomes necessary. Notice i didn't say hysteria, but to ignore it isn't the way to go.

Its not lupus

I'm with you. I think a terrible precedent is being set in how we handle other ailments in peak seasons.

The thing I also go back to is this...think about flu season and you're at the pharmacy picking up meds...we've all be in line with that person who just looks awful. They are coughing, red-eyed, and red-nosed with a ball of tissue in their hand picking up their Tamiflu or something.

What have we normally done in that situation...? Nothing. We live life. We maybe wash our hands a little more but ultimately we don't do much or even give it a second thought.

Now you've caused this mass hysteria and I fear there is no turning back. Are we going to get shut down every winter? When did we become so scared as a society?

And don't tell me about the flu shot...majority of people don't get it or many people still get the flu despite having the shot.

I tested positive back on June 20th (53yo male, slightly overweight, but no other preconditions). Over the next week, I had relatively mild symptoms, mostly just shortness of breath and what I can best describe as a reaction cough when I tried to breath deep. Even so, it isn't something you want to experience. My lungs have improved a lot, but I still feel the effects.

I am now considered recovered by the CDC Symptoms Protocol, having over 10 days since my positive test and no fever for more than 3 days (I only had fever for less than a day). I did take a test on Monday to see if I would turn up negative. I am awaiting those results now.

Since I was already sick, and I don't have a house where I can be quarantined in a separate space like a basement, my wife and 20yo son have been with me throughout all of this. They have not experienced symptoms and they tested negative 12 days after the beginning of my symptoms.

There is a lot of stuff out there that is flat out wrong.

Neat

We may be urged to get one but most don't. All a vaccine will do is over a placebo effect in that people will feel "safer".

We've had nasty flu pandemics in the past where we continued to live life. Never shut down like this before. That's the point I am making. That's terrible precedent that is being set now.
