The mortality rate for COVID-19 just topped 7.8%. The flu is less than 0.07%.
KEEP BELIEVING ITS JUST COLD SYMPTOMS..
90% old folks who already have SERIOUS health problems. Kids ain't gettin' it. What about that fact?
According to the CDC there are now
SIX known variants of this virus. (six mutations in three months) If you think for a moment anyone is exempt from it, you dont know much about viruses. We only have confirmation on TWO of the variants that the young and healthy are minimally impacted. We have yet to get good information from China on who was actually impacted and to what extent.
I think I already published a link to a story that said 9 out of the initial 11 deaths in Washington State were people over 70 in Evergreen Life Care home. Someone should look into that.
You ever been in a senior care center on the west coast for an extended period of time? They eat together at the same time, and everyone has to bee wheeled into the potty room at very close to the same time, and instead of first come, first served, it can be terse as first scream, first served, with no time to wash between cleaning the seniors after excusing themselves, or the seniors can't remember whether they wiped, forgettabout it, and first thing rub their eye or itchy skin around the nose or mouth area.
It's no excuse, but the skilled day nurses go home and leave the seniors to the less-skilled night crew who may not know all the protocols instantly. The night population has a large turnover, and frequently what could go wrong with people sleeping goes out the window in a crisis.
Seniors have exponential issues compared to people in their childbearing years. And the home may have had exponential turnovers of nurses who are also mothers and quit before infecting their own families due to the deep-seated refusal to ever show disloyalty to family.
