With this virus my advice sir is take on chances.
I listen often to folks who say "We don't need masks" or even "masks are harmful" (we do and they are not) Who claim "The death rate is over blown" (Under counted is more likely I will explain that) I don't believe them.
This is one virus I have no desire to mess with.
The death count.
One "Study" looked at what I call the average death rate. Baring somethign like 9-11-2001 you can predict how many deaths year to date for any given day of the year and it will be fairly close.. WHY Because people die at about the same rate less something happens.
So if you count dead bodies. NOT COVID but all dead bodies.. Subtract the normal year body count. what you have left is the "Extras due to ____" (Whatever the disaster of the week is) in this case COVID-19.
160,000 +_ is the official count
The method I just gave is about 200,000 last I checked.
As the Office supervisor said when a phone rang then stopped"
IT's just the fax mam. Just the Fax.
I know people that have had the virus, some have gotten very sick and a few have died. My 43 year old daughter in good health (urgent care medical assistant) got it and was sick for over a month. Lost of taste, smell, numbness over her whole body (skin), muscle aches/pains and severe fatigue.
My other daughter is an RN in a rehab center for the elderly. She saw more death in 3 months than in her whole 20 year career in nursing. This virus is really and for some people is very serious.
That said and as mentioned in my earlier post, I would still be making the trip but with caution.
