This is totally not what is being reported in the news media.
The media reported "a 19 year old male" and that the number of cases is in the 60s.
Trump is minimizing the virus.
Are we now living in the Twilight Zone?

"Imagine if you will..."
Actually, we are living on the verge of a totalitarian regime and this is Fascism American Style. It is more like a scripted, reality TV show, if you notice.

I posted this in another thread earlier on
people tend to think of immunocompromised as people with cancer and HIV. But people with diabetes that is UNCONTROLLED are sometimes immunocompromised. Addiction can also make someone immunocompromised. So with those 2 things, diabetes and addiction - a lot of vulnerable folks here and we are dealing with something we are not familiar with.
That's why I really think this is the lowest thing Trump and his administration has done. Saying this is a hoax and nothing to see here. Instead of making sure we get a handle on this, all hands on deck before those who are vulnerable are the ones to pay the price.
Most people who are not immunocompromised will probably rid themselves of the virus and be just fine. What about those that are more vulnerable? This is an unfamiliar virus to their bodies. What resistance can their bodies mount to fight this?
I suppose if it happens in those populations, they get to say, well they already had all those other complications.......... so not our fault.

I wont lie. Im nervous, for my kids in particular. Both have jobs that bring them in contact with many random people. But theyre also young and healthy. Hard not to be nervous though.
