At the start of this thread I wrote on 3/15, 2 weeks ago:

"I've been sequestered at home with my wife because of her knee replacement in early feb, and am glad I have.
I've finally talked sense to three of our adult children, while the other two (smokers) continue throw caution to the wind.
As I understand from reading and talking with two doctors is the virus effects ones lungs. Reduced lung capacity and scarring are the immediate effect and residual diminished lung capacity may likely be the toll on any individual. Effects seem to balance on the condition of ones lungs going into an infection.
Lets all be safe and considerate of others. Taking an attitude of "young enough" may cost one their life. I'll respect the experts and hope a majority of us get through this.
Let's also hope it was not created in some lab to be a super bug. Whatever it is, it appears to be widespread and well rooted in the populace. How the heck did that happe? Humanity has been forever changed, we will wake up tomorrow and this will be worse. It's real and frankly it's scary. I have not yet wrapped my head around economic effects and can only think dark thoughts on that.
I hope with additional tests there may be a way to corral hot spots to give science time to develop a vaccine. That is the best for now. "

I could write the same today, but... cut and paste was easier.
As a retired engineer playing nurse it gave me plenty if research time.
I found there is a lot of bad info floated on the www, even some here, where as a community we should be able to civilly banter and share. There is no winner in these topics, only shared hope there will be a vaccine and a way to heal society. After the victims are laid to rest and the mourning is done will we have scarred lungs and a way to live life that was somewhat similar to last year?
