    Somewhere around 4% of people who contract the virus die from it. The statistics have an input in the multi Millions. I can show you the numbers. Do you have anything to show me other than "No they do not."?

    Look, I'm I've never said "don't" wear a mask. I just found it interesting what Procter said. When I say stats, stats, stats, I'm basically saying that they're floating in from everywhere. The internet provides a cornucopia of information that we all love to dissect and debate. All good stuff.

    As an example: https://www.livescience.com/are-face-masks-effective-reducing-coronavirus-spread.html

    I would agree that the bulk of what we are hearing today indicates that we should all be wearing masks. Well, there ya go. Certainly won't hurt anything. And, I don't see it as a conspiracy, or otherwise. Do I wear my gaiter mask all the time? No. Should I? I suppose. As mentioned in another post, we have these. I hate the straps that go around the ears on the other types.

    Your example says wear a mask. The counter study in the article was retracted, and was done with FOUR people in the study.
    Yes, you can find stuff anywhere,but you have to be smart enough to read it.

    Dad hospitalized with coronavirus after son, 21, apparently infected entire family, mom says

    Michelle Zymet said she had pleaded with her son not to go out. "The younger generation, they just don't get it," she said. "We are trying to open everyone’s eyes."

    Trump retweeted a game show host who said Corona virus is a hoax, media, doctors, CDC all lying to make Trump look bad. Now his young son tested positive and he changed his tune. I sincerely hope this boy isn't sacrificed to his father and Trump's stupidity.

    Trump doesn't need any help when it comes to making him look bad. In fact, the less he's constrained the worse he makes himself look. Polls are proving this to be right.

    Scientists identify six different 'types' of Covid-19 each based on 'cluster of symptoms' which will help monitor those must vulnerable to catching it
    • Data suggests coronavirus comes in several forms, each with symptom clusters
    • King's College London's Symptom Study app findings could help the vulnerable
    • Continuous cough, fever and loss of smell are the three main Covid-19 symptoms
    Coronavirus comes in six different forms and each has a ‘particular cluster of symptoms’, scientists revealed.

    Data gathered by King’s College London’s Covid Symptom Study app was used to predict which patients will require hospitalisation based on their early symptoms.

    Experts said the findings could have important implications for identifying and treating those who are more vulnerable and will suffer from a severe type of Covid ahead of a possible second wave.

    A continuous cough, fever and loss of smell are the three main symptoms of the virus but others include headaches and diarrhoea.

    The study – which is yet to be peer reviewed – identified six clusters of symptoms which represent six types of Covid-19.

    These clusters become progressively more severe, starting from having flu-like symptoms with no fever to having a fever followed by also suffering from diarrhoea.

    There are then three ‘severe’ clusters – the first causes fatigue, the second confusion and the final one causes abdominal and respiratory issues.

    The team then found that patients were more likely to have these severe types if they were older, overweight and suffer from underlying conditions.

    They developed a model to predict which cluster a patient falls into and their risk of hospitalisation based on their age, sex, body mass index and pre-existing conditions.

    This prediction tool could provide an early warning on who is likely to need intensive care based on their early symptoms.

    Study author Dr Claire Steves, from King’s College London, said if you can predict these vulnerable people earlier, ‘you have time to give them support and early interventions’ to reduce hospitalisations.

    Chuck Woolery is an old fart, I would think his son who got covid would be middle-aged. But that's just my guess, could be wrong.
