    I don't see an issue with the cemetary people... it's not like the deceased are going to cough on them....And if there in caskets how could it be spread? I do think it is very shameful that family's can not congregate at a horrible time like this.
    It's not cold out and they do use a backhoe no?

    Whoa, the virus is evolving quickly!
    Nah!

    This contradicts what scientists have been saying about victims age as a target.

    Beware of reports that have no author names and or dates. I'm not saying some stories may or may not be true but today there is so much bullsh!t going around it is difficult to separate what is real and what is not

    I don't think anything! I'm just recalling the "facts" actual "scientists" have stated.

    We are at the very start of this virus. IMHO, statistics will play a minimal role in prediction. As time goes by,
    we will start to collect more data. Then, we can play "Monday morning quarterback"

    Of course, statistical accuracy depends on what data you are trending.

    I have a hypothesis about younger people being affected by COVID. Perhaps it is related to vaping (either tobacco or canabis)
    Or even smoking pot. The vapors that are inhaled (the "transport" system) operate at a much lower temperature than the destruction point of the virus.

    If that were not so, smoking would burn your lungs.

    Just a thought...

    If you really question the measures against the corona virus, have a look at Sweden and check if they do it better. (Or the Russians).
    (Actually all your posts are made to question the corona crisis).

    BTW: Each nation reacts different on the corona virus. You can compare and 'at the end' we'll know who did it best.

    It's all about ethics. What has a nation to do to safe the life of single citizens. And what can be demanded from the nation therefore (impact on personal freedom, economy)...
    Comparing corona statistics to overall mortality of nations of the years before is flawed. Only fools are doing that to downplay the corona crisis.

    Corona is now, the other is past. We can have an influence on the process, because it is happening right now. We can safe lives.

    Personally I'm not a fan of government declaring emergency powers and wiping their as**s with their constitutions.
    The older I get, the more I realize that govts NEVER willfully get rid of power once they get it.
    If they want to keep the power of locking up anyone they think is dangerous after the crisis is over, they will just state the crisis is never over.
    I am very skeptical that a pandemic like this will go away overnight. I suspect that there will always be cases and thus the temptation for endless power grabs.
    I don't want to spend the rest of my life in an authoritarian nightmare because China lied to the world.
