In reply to the discussion: Based on my trip out today - we're all gonna die from COVID 19. [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)Because almost half of people that get infected are asymptomatic, we won't get wiped out, but an enormous number of people that are not asymptomatic will suffer and of that group, some will die. In addition, it has not been shown conclusively that the virus ISN'T doing permanent damage within the bodies of asymptomatic people, at some level.
I take an optimistic view on life, that has helped me weather some really dark times. I will continue to wear a mask placed on properly when in public, and I will work to avoid people that aren't wearing masks. My belief is that soon we will have a President that takes this situation with the level of professionalism that it requires, at that point we will progressively become better off in dealing with SAR-COV-2.
