As long as you or your wife don't have underlying health conditions like asthma or cardiovascular disease then not really 2/1000 deaths in your age group. Now your patents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or friends over 50, yeah i'd be a little worried.

More proof of failure. Woman with a high probability of being infected in the Seattle area basically had to alert the media and cause a firestorm before they would test her.

More proof that the government is never efficient, thorough, or proactive in anything it does.

From Wikipedia.

ProPublica reported on February 28 that the slow testing was actually due to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rejecting internationally-used World Health Organization COVID-19 test guidelines and instead trying to develop a test of its own; that test turned out to be unreliable, and most state laboratories were not allowed to test until February 26

WHO: Brah. Told ya.
USA: Dear Americans.We got this. Your risk remains Low. .

Before this is over, I feel like this one is going to effect every one of us. Our elders are in real danger.

All the talent is in private enterprise. The B's and C's run the government.

Worst part about this is that you can’t stop it. From a dad view, this sucks.

Your kids will be fine. Very low rates of even mild symptoms in teens. Not a single death in the 0-9 age group. Only 1 death that I know of in the teens. While they still get it and are contagious, most kids don't even have symptoms.
