It's worth noting that while Bill may be an extreme case, I'll bet that
75-80% of the people who would show up will have some form of
compromising condition, whether they want to admit it or not. We are a
very 'unhealthy' nation. Overweight? (Be honest with yourself.)
Diabetes? Elevated blood pressure? *AGE?* (I'm 69.)
If you haven't had a heart-to-heart conversation with your personal doc
specifically about Covid and your risks, it really would be a good idea.
I have several friends who are working with Covid patients all the time,
and things can be *much* worse than you might think, watching some news
sources. (BTW, social media isn't a news source.) We've been hearing for
months about things just now showing up in the news, like young, healthy
people getting it, recovering, and a couple of weeks later having a
stroke or heart attack & dying. Autopsies of Covid victims finding blood
clots scattered through every organ. Being unable to intubate people
because their weight prevented the ventilator from being able to inflate
their lungs.
And don't forget that if you're exposed, you can transmit it to someone
else who may be 'compromised', even if you never have symptoms yourself.
I understand wanting to get out & do stuff; my wife is compromised by
leukemia & we're both in the age group most at risk, and we have done
nothing but doc visits and (when possible) parking lot food pickups
since March. We're both going stir crazy. But we'd rather wait another
year for a vaccine or cure, than risk dying to go out and play right now.
Most of my friends are ignoring the warnings (I live in an area of, for
lack of a better term, science denial). They've been going to flyins.
But no one's been able to repeal disease transmission, any more than the
law of gravity. It won't be a shock to lose at least one of them before
this is over.
The USA has around 4% of the world's population, and we've had around
22% of the Covid related deaths. That 22% number is based on reported
deaths, and I know for a fact that my home state is under-reporting
cases and deaths, and multiple other states have said publicly that they
will no longer report case and death numbers.
I know this has been very 'preachie', I'm just another faceless page on
social media, but you do have actual science-based advice available from
your doc. Please, go ask.
