Also, from someone on a different forum:

A coworker got it. He was a healthy 40YO guy who ran marathons and played hockey. It took him 5 weeks to get over it and he lost ~25% lung capacity. He can barely walk 50 yards now without getting winded.


Sure, most of the deaths may be old people in nursing homes, but it looks like there will be a lot of people that survive but have lasting health issues that we barely know about right now.

I sure don't want to get it.


I don't want to get it either. I also don't want to get seasonal flu & colds, cancer, heart disease, hurt or killed in a car wreck, etc., but I refuse to hide inside to avoid any of it. Most people like to attend events where there are crowds of people. Race track, swap meets, other large events WWII Weekend here in PA, PRI, ballgames, kids sports, concerts, picnics, reunions, etc., etc.. We aren't really cutout to be hermits. I think we are about done being forced to be hermits.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
