Does testing positive also mean they are actually sick?

Anyone can get it, but fatality rate in children is very low.

Children can get it and spread it. But thus far none under 9 have died from it. Praise God for that.

Actually, no one dead under 14. The only pediatric death was a 15 y/o leukemia victim if i remember correctly.

They closed the school in Avon (south of Indy) for two weeks where the child went to school.

We’re following a story. There are reports out of Funafuti that a woman and possibly her husband have been sniffling for the last two nights. We’ll stay on this all night if we have to! Remember, for all things Coronavirus, stay with us for the latest breaking news!

Children can get it, yes. But the mortality rate in children is extremely small and the symptoms very minor. The death rate and severity of illness increases with age.

If you are under 40, the chances of you dying are 1% or less. But after age 50, it starts to go up exponentially.

Children can spread it but thus far aren’t at risk.

What we fear is this: VIRUS MUTATION.

For example:

Reported cases of Spanish flu dropped off over the summer of 1918, and there was hope at the beginning of August that the virus had run its course. In retrospect, it was only the calm before the storm. Somewhere in Europe, a mutated strain of the Spanish flu virus had emerged that had the power to kill a perfectly healthy young man or woman within 24 hours of showing the first signs of infection.

In late August 1918, military ships departed the English port city of Plymouth carrying troops unknowingly infected with this new, far deadlier strain of Spanish flu. As these ships arrived in cities like Brest in France, Boston in the United States and Freetown in South Africa, the second wave of the global pandemic began.

Lockdown Governments. Those EVIL MOFOS are the cause of all the problems. Example: D.C. Divide & Control POWER CENTER. Many on earth.

Grab your weapons dog-faced pony soldiers. Stock up on ammo.

Know your friends.

Some things are worth making the other prick die for.

Your life.
