    SF got a spike too, despite being on relative lockdown still compared to everywhere else. Wonder what else would have happened 2 to 3 weeks ago.

    Now they delayed openings.

    It’s definitely more complex. But people are being destroyed right now. And I’m not talking about being sick.

    Went to the gym for first time in 3plus months, they dis a decent job of maintaining distance between equipment. The only thing was on the door they have a sign saying mask required but in the work out area only 50% had mask on, including me. I guess you don't have to wear on during the actual workout.

    remember the good old days when Covid was just another flu?

    well, the physical damage the virus does is widespread throughout the body:

    ".......Besides the respiratory issues that leave patients gasping for breath, the virus that causes COVID-19 attacks many organ systems, in some cases causing catastrophic damage.

    “We thought this was only a respiratory virus. Turns out, it goes after the pancreas. It goes after the heart. It goes after the liver, the brain, the kidney and other organs. We didn’t appreciate that in the beginning,” said Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, California.

    In addition to respiratory distress, patients with COVID-19 can experience blood clotting disorders that can lead to strokes, and extreme inflammation that attacks multiple organ systems. The virus can also cause neurological complications that range from headache, dizziness and loss of taste or smell to seizures and confusion
    ......."

    "............While coronavirus symptoms typically resolve in two or three weeks, an estimated 1 in 10 experience prolonged symptoms, Dr. Helen Salisbury of the University of Oxford wrote in the British Medical Journal on Tuesday.

    Salisbury said many of her patients have normal chest X-rays and no sign of inflammation, but they are still not back to normal.

    “If you previously ran 5k three times a week and now feel breathless after a single flight of stairs, or if you cough incessantly and are too exhausted to return to work, then the fear that you may never regain your previous health is very real,” she wrote
    ............"

    "..............Khan sees parallels with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Much of the early focus was on deaths.


    “In recent years, we’ve been very focused on the cardiovascular complications of HIV survivorship,” Khan said
    ........."

    I was listening to a comedian the other night after the Tulsa fiasco talking about how he's ok with maskless Trump supporters walking into the nuclear fallout after the bomb drops...I think it was Bill Burr.....mask wars and racial profiling are exposing the dumbest segments of our population ...just didn't realize there were so many of them

    Raise uneducated citizens and this is the result.

    America's education systems rankings in the world are dropping over time. We are no longer #1 (not even under Obama were we).
