Did he say that? Having online classes for the time being isn't "shutting everything down forever". Why does everything have to be so polarized?

That isn't necessarily true. There have been numerous cases of people catching it more than once.

It's not deadly

Stop talking about it and live life


There have been people who have developed clots in organs, had Strokes because of covid-19 after they got better, permanent scarring of the lungs, permanent heart damage Etc. To act like it's only about whether you live or die from it is ignorant and you sound really uninformed

You left out the part that it is much milder the second time, and many of the "second times" are results of false positives initially.

Lmfao Fake news. There’s no way the University of Alabama has a infection rate of 29% while NYC, a global “hot spot”, has a rate of 2%. It’s just not possible.

It's killed more people than live in a small City in half a year in just the United States alone and many people that survive are having secondary health issues afterwards. I guess we aren't going to talk about that huh?

I’m sure you can link factual data to support that? And by data I don’t mean political stories produced by propaganda media.

The higher the infection rate, the better.

About 75% of the people on the death toll died from something besides COVID. They just had COVID.

Don’t bother with that guy, it’s like talking to a headline from Vox.

This virus is still unpredictable. They've actually detected some new mutations in last few weeks that is making treatment harder.

Your post is BS. That's a "reported" 29% of those who felt sick enough to be tested or one of their friends they associated with had it. Whereas the 1% was of the student body as a whole. Maybe this was a selected day of testing and others showed what most show of people who suspect the may have covid. BTW, what did you expect? Kids go back to campus and congregate. And yes party and they have almost no fear since the thing is for them a big nothing burger. Officials are not fearful because of some dramatic health concerns, it's the politics for them that matter. As in "we're cancelling school since a test of young people with the sniffles or nothing except one of their friends was positive shows just under 3 of 10 were right and that makes look bad. It's actually good news given that herd immunity in a almost 100% no symptom fashion is at hand.

Oh so I have to provide you specific numbers that you aren't going to trust you because you don't trust any media? Wow. I guess maybe I should just provide my information to you via a redneck sitting in his car on a YouTube channel ranting about what Liberals are doing. Or maybe I could get a meme. Lol.

I have a 99% feeling that you are just making up statistics to support your point of view. What a fresh take. I didn't feel like I see enough of that on Facebook or the poli board. Thank you for your super trustworthy numbers

That is absolutely false per recent reports. Someone may falsely test negative or any symptoms go away then have a relapse but 100% of all experts in the field say it is a one and done situation. You cannot have it and not have the anti-bodies. College age kids are near 100% symptom free or minor ones at worst. Yes a few can have more but not likely. People die from head colds, they die from cramps. Women on their period bleed to death. Four close relatives in their 30's have had it and 3 had nothing except for one with loss of taste for 2 days and one had a 101 temp briefly. That's it.

Family of four friends all had it at once on vacation. 2 kids played in back yard normally and showed zero symptoms. Dad, again lost taste one day and she nothing. Of 8 people that's one fever, and two loss of taste briefly. 5 would have never known.

So go get it and give it to everyone in your family. No? Why not you seem to be an expert. All talk on a message board, but you won't do shite about it in real life.

Well I know 3 people that have died this year, all in the 80 - 90 range. Not one of them died of Covid.
