Are they saying the virus rewards the young and healthy? Guess the virus hate the old and unhealthy. What a hateful virus. CNN should be calling this virus out.
It should be obvious more healthy people have a greater chance of surviving any type of illness or injury. It should also be obvious that the disease can strike anyone and kill them even with no other issues.
Actually that's not true. The disease is killing very few people without pre-existing conditions. 5% of 151 is what? 7 people?
I tell you a good one. That worldometer that is flying around online. One person put on FB this morning that the mortality rate was 18%. Well, if you actually clicked on the link, it was 18% of closed cases but the dummy was running around saying it had a mortality rate of 18% and you couldn't convince her otherwise.
New Orleans Mayor now blaming President Trump for not stopping Mardi Gras.
Hey 5:04, he knew it was here and said it wasn't.
Who was she supposed to listen to?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. If the Democrats had been on charge, the response would have been even slower. Trump was knocked for shutting down flights from China by the Democrats. The Europeans complained about closing off travel from Europe before they followed suit. DeBlasio was actively promoting keeping schools open In NYC, even after it was obvious they had to be shut down. Didn’t the mayor have her own resources, like two medical schools with experts in her own city? It’s always easier to blame somebody else.
Everyone does realize if you are positive for the virus and die it gets reported as a Covid19 death whether it caused it or not. It's not exactly the most reliable statistic.
