This is where the Red family Homestead is. Lot's of friends and family in the area. Schools are shut down till the 14th.

No firm estimate on how many special needs people were exposed to COVID.

[redgolum]

Ping.

Case in Nebraska

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yet tomorrow here in LA we are going to have the LA Marathon, hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world and they are not canceling it, its nuts!

[HighSierra5]

Before too long everybody that’s gonna get it will get it. Some will get sick. Others may die. The novelty will wear off. It’s the people who are exposed and don’t come down with symptoms are the ones to study.

[JennysCool]

I think a lot of these event cancellations are pretty much rolling-virtue-signalling by mostly liberal event organizers. “They cancelled their event, we’re cancelling OUR event, too! Because we CARE just as much as they do!”

[lightman]

BINGO!

Reality check:

MOST Americans will be exposed.
MANY Americans will develop symptoms, some severe, some not.
A FEW Americans will die.

[redgolum]

This is my home town.

And just north of the only high containment hospital in the US.

They are not trying to virtue signal.

[BuckeyeGOP]

Whatever....yawn

[ducttape45]

Why in blue blazes was she allowed to attend the event if she was diagnosed with the illness? Talk about stupid!

[JennysCool]

You’re right. Not in this case, since there was obvious exposure. But there are an awful lot of events around the country being cancelled without any urgent reason as there is here. It’s more like, “We’re cancelling our event because we CARE just as much as those other people cancelling THEIR events.” If this keeps up, pretty soon people aren’t going to gather anywhere, for any reason.

We were all handed a one-way ticket the moment we were conceived.

[oldasrocks]

I’m more interested in how they can have a Marathon in a city covered in poop. Will they wear special spiked shoes?

[lightman]

We were all handed a one-way ticket the moment we were conceived.

Aye. Life is fatal.

Other than Enoch and Elijah no one has gotten out of here alive.

[david1292]

A few?

Right now there are 437 confirmed cases, and 19 confirmed deaths. That’s a 4.3% mortality rate. That’s high. That’s lot more than a “few.”

If most Americans are exposed...millions will die.

[TexasGurl24]

Yet South Korea has a 0.61% death rate. With A LOT more cases. Why?

[Brown Deer]

Who are the hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world that would want to visit California?

[Linda Frances]

My granddaughters volleyball tournament was canceled because of this. They were to play at Fremont HS this weekend. I heard the Fremont schools are now closed.

Mutated? Can’t help but wonder if this is a bio weapon. Same virus but more dangerous.

[Brown Deer]

Seriously? Where are your medical and statistics degrees from?

Age, Sex, Existing Conditions of COVID-19 Cases and Deaths

The death rate for COVID-19 appears to vary by location and an individual's age, among other factors. For instance, in Hubei Province, the epicenter of the outbreak, the death rate reached 2.9%; in other provinces of China, that rate was just 0.4%, according to the China CDC Weekly study. In addition, older adults have been hit the hardest. The death rate soars to 14.8% in those 80 and older; among those ages 70 to 79, the COVID-19 death rate in China seems to be about 8%; it’s 3.6% for those ages 60 to 69; 1.3% for 50 to 59; 0.4% for the age group 40 to 49; and just 0.2% for people ages 10 to 39. No deaths in children under 9 have been reported.
