LogicIsForSquares Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I think that is more of an indictment of some younger people here being soft.

Westside Steve Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I did a lot of crazy shit when I was young.

Well I guess I did sell my Honda VFR 800 when I hit the ripe young age of 60. 🏍️ Skydiving I gave up early though. Around 25. But I still like to bicycle down the busy street to go through the quick lanes at the grocer without a mask. Has wide shoulders on the road though.🚴♂️ LOL!😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said: 1) You aren't become conservative on a lot of issues as you age. The views themselves are just become conservative. Mostly social issues. Young people today aren't going to all of a sudden be against gay marriage in 40 years. But there will be new social issues they'll be to the right of because people inherently don't like change. 2) I don't think being older inherently makes you right. It is a cop out to say "well you just don't get it". That's someone that can't defend their point and is out of ideas. A person should be judged by the quality of their idea and the evidence they provide, not their age. People will definitely change their mind, on some things, as they grow older. A lot of your personality and values lock in around your late 20s tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That top end is young only to boomers. Also.... Hey. I have asthma. I've always had it. Bad allergies too (related). But I'd like to go on the record to say I'm in shape haha.

No asthma here, but seasonal allergy sufferer... source of my only real concern with this virus. When the mold spore flies every Spring, if it has been a particularly wet Spring, then odds are that I am going to get a sinus infection. And if I get a sinus infection then it's a race to arrest it before it gets to my lungs. So if I do end up contracting Covid-19, I like my odds, but I'd rather not go into that fight with an upper respiratory infection. Have I told you about my friend, Flo? Full name is Flonase... still expensive even OTC, but now WalMart has a generic at about 60% the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I was told I had asthma really bad when I was young. Always had inhalers with me and I got shots once a week At about 14 I stopped getting the shots and never used an inhaler again I always suspected it was a scam by doctors to get my parents insurance money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an age group the very young seem to have been less afflicted, but that does not mean they've been less exposed or less infected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how out of line those numbers are but if so do you suppose it's due to the flaunting of precaution up until the point the disease was out of hand? And if it's true that 80% of people with the virus are merely carriers have the Millennials spread it to the Boomers? And if so is there anything any word being done along the lines of age? I would guess not. But it's just a guess. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess not. But it's just a guess. I'd agree that early comments about the young being less affected made a group that already feels bulletproof in life even more so with Covid-19. So continuing to gather prior to the issuance of pre-shelter orders abroad and here had a good chance of increasing the % infected in their age group dramatically. So even with the lower lethality rate of 0.2% for their age group, the surge in serious cases atop those from other age groups just overloads the system all that. As for your question...not sure, Steve, but I imagine that it's impossible to eliminate lower risk groups crossing paths with the higher risk ones. I mean we all have to eat. At least most of us here have access to residence dedicated bathrooms. Some of the bigger cities may still have apartment buildings with facilities down the hall. I suspect that is more common in Europe than here.... more common in the Middle East than Europe. No idea about other regions. Why mention the bathroom thing? Glad you asked... Skimmed an article on CDC site last from the Chinese last week when we were discussing tests' ability to detect the virus in the asymptomatic infected. It related how a nasal swab test of infants failed to detect the virus, but a different test of their feces detected the virus. So don't volunteer for any diaper changes 'til further notice... ... and no showering with millennials either... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandson came by it through his maternal grandfather and his mother and despite being in great shape has had to be hospitalized twice as a child. We keep O2 in canisters and an oximeter at home at all times as well as emergency "puffers". He seems to have grown out of it since the last time was age 10 and now he's turning 12. But we are being extra careful with this damn virus thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
