Except Ecuador
Ecuador is on the road to being THE single hardest-hit country in the world, being that they will likely have the highest death rate.
I think Ecuador, and especially the city of Guayaquil, can be said to be what everyone was afraid of. Bodies in cardboard coffins (they ran out of body bags, in that heat, and can't get a source for more), piled around the entrance to major hospitals, and in some cases blocking the streets. They've gone to just putting their dying in wheelchairs, so once they die a single orderly can move the body out of the building. The unidentified bodies are put in the cardboard coffins so that families can search through them and try to identify their dead....
That is the scenario the leaders of every country were trying to avoid. You couldn't predict Ecuador would have this; or that the US would not.

So, we're back to the blood-type theme? I liked that one. I'm O+
It's really special when people pretending to care about the victims decide to hate on the victims for not victiming right.
So, I'm asking you, in your anecdote, who is/are the victim(s)? My answer : Nobody except those that decide to see themselves as such, because their is no sufficient reasons for me to convince them of otherwise.
I choose to not be a victim.
But we are "heroes" now - not just "essential" but amazing????
Are we??
A very high fever is also one of the main symptoms of Kawasaki disease.
Doctors in England are warning about new symptoms related to the coronavirus pandemic, or potentially a new virus, that is sending children into intensive care.

Question... People are still out shopping, having parties, gathering in places with more than 10 people, handling money that went through hundreds of hands in the same few days, touching items at the store that haven't been disinfected, etc.. What makes you think the virus isn't spreading just like it would in normal America? I work with 8 people who were sent home with the virus, 3 had underlying health conditions, and all survived with minimal side effects.
Good for you!!
Other members here have had friends/family die
Not at anything close to equal rate, even the article says some children that have tested positive and even some who have tested negative it which means it's likely not even CoVid related, not to mention how many kids have this. Why is it automatically tied to CoVid.
I can't say, I would agree that #s are being fudged by both sides.
How are the numbers fudged on both sides? on the it's a faux pandemic side all you can go by is low number of deaths. The number of actual cases is likely in the millions here in the US. The fudging is by the lock it up for federal bucks crowd, where every respiratory case is now CoVid. Just like this bogus article that says in the first paragraph/ Children with CoVid and even those testing negative for CoVid have this COVID syndrome. How is it a CoVid syndrome when kids without Covid have it?

What? You said:
Doctors in England are currently making stuff up. They attribute this article to Covid-19, but in the above quote, they say the new symptoms can be related to the coronavirus pandemic, or it could potentially be a totally new virus doing this too.
In other words, there is no truth at all in this article.
In other words, they're just being more observant. What's wrong with that?
There's this pattern now where any news that points out any potential problems is met with blind, ignorant disbelief. It's irrational and annoying.
People have cause to be alarmed especially those who lost family memebers to this virus. Over 60,000 Americans are dead. Over 220,000 people have died throughout the world and over 3 million have been infected. You have people killing themselves because they're seeing so much death.
So thank God, the worst case projections haven't occurred but to act like everything is all rosy and any news that might point out anything negative is fearmongering and it's all nothing is just asinine.
Why can't people exhibit a little common sense these days?
Everything has to be black or white.
Either the sky is falling and it's over the top reaction to the virus or it's everything is fine, this is nothing and the slightest news that points to a potential problem is nothing.
Both sides are just ignorant.

Who are the "victims" again? I've lost track.
I show up for every shift and keep my cool as much as possible.
