Yes... I've been trolling this site for 20 years.
Finally caught.
For those who care to see how COVID-19 measures up against the daily cause of deaths in the US this link is enlightening

the vast majority of those with serious conditions have underlying health problems or are above 60 years of age. my guess would be heart.
WOY, stop trolling!

Stop talking.
no.
Well, I’m just glad you pointed out to Doug his friend probably had a pre-existing condition, so us healthy people have nothing to worry about.
What would you say.....ya do here?
statistically that is very correct
Yes, it was a really good time to tell someone that very obvious information. Right on, brother.

No, not necessarily. We are not all programmed the same. For instance, scientists are baffled by why some otherwise healthy people catch it and then die within days. One scientist offered this:
"One possibility is a gene variation in the ACE2 gene. ACE2 is an enzyme that attaches to the outer surface of cells in the lungs, as well as the heart. In an article in Science magazine, Immunologist Dr. Philip Murphy of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said that "variations in the ACE2 gene that alter the receptor could make it easier or harder for the virus to get into lung cells.
It is also possible that a critical ingredient produced by the body, known as surfactant, which better allows the lungs to expand and contract, becomes depleted in some patients infected with the coronavirus. If you think of your lungs as a sponge, surfactant would be the detergent which would make them soft and pliable. Without surfactant, however, your lung becomes stiff and hard to squeeze. It may be why some patients continue to struggle even on a breathing machine."
This isn't a prior condition- it's just genetics, just like I'm not genetically programmed to be an Olympic hurdler or powerlifter. So, there really are people getting this and suddenly dying who are not obese and never smoked.

From Reuters today:
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said such steps must continue but that there are hopeful signs they are working. “If in fact we are successful, it makes sense to at least plan what a re-entry into normality would look like. That doesn’t mean we’re going to do it right now, but it means we need to be prepared to ease into that."
“What’s really important is that people don’t turn these early signs of hope into releasing from the 30 days to stop the spread. It’s really critical,” said Dr. Deborah Birx, another task force member. “If people start going out again and socially interacting, we could see a really acute second wave.”
"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
And, this is why my Spouse and her co-workers suffer needlessly.
On a related point, the Governement had to close the Columbia Gorge recreational area along a further distance because self-centered, immature people were blowing through the closure signs at 200 cars per hour, crossing past the closed trailhead signs and even throwing them into the brush. Seaside police had to close the entire beach, even to locals, because enough stupid people were ignoring the social distancing measures and the "Do Not Visit Here" measures that it made their already difficult and dangerous jobs impossible to do.
