Sheltering in place and social distancing may be doing more harm than good. New evidence is coming out.

My nieces were really sick in late November and early December and their Elementary School closed for I believe 3 extra days because staff were all coming down with serious cases of "the flu."

California supposedly had an unusual outbreak of the flu in November and nothing outside of that state was really made of it because everyone thought it was just a serious start to the flu season.

My sister is a teacher in Northern CA, her kids both got a really bad case of the "flu" in January, and she did say other students were getting really sick around the same time.

I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but this does smell fishy. We're not being told the full truth, whether it's coming straight from Trump and his administration (I highly doubt it) or its coming from the hidden controllers of the media and their cohorts (the left, mostly).

Maybe the antibody tests will settle the argument.

Same here. I was in Los Angeles for a week in December and came down with a horrible “type of flu” — the doctor’s words after the flu test came back negative — and had it for 10 days, got better over three or four days, then relapsed for a little over two weeks. Fever of 101, terrible dry, hacking, unproductive cough, general malaise, and got extremely winded easily from climbing a single flight of stairs in my house. Stairs that I climb several times every single day. I told the doctor I felt like my lungs have been coated with concrete.

I’m about 80% convinced I had it.

It was a story in USA today several weeks back on this.

Also, I understand that Stanford researchers believe that the coronavirus has been in the US since last fall.

This whole shelter in place fiasco should never have happened.

The shelter in place order has nothing to do do with the coronavirus. It is about instituting an oppressive "new normal" that most will readily accept because after months of the shelter in place order, it won't feel as oppressive.
People can't wait until our government is gracious enough to ALLOW us to go to work, socialize with friends and family, or leave the house without fear of legal repercussions.

In early November, a co-worker and I came back from a business trip, from a location that later became a hot spot. We never had symptoms, but a co-worker became incredibly ill later in November, with flu-like symptoms, and it lasted over two weeks. We're in Taxifornia (northern, SF bay area) which now seems to have a bit of the 'herd immunity' that many have been talking about.

100% anecdotal, of course. But the more you hear about people in this area who became really sick, or if you were sick in that time frame, the more it makes you wonder.

This is more

"Won't Somebody think of the Elderly."

seeing as several reports cite the Median Age of the departed (at least in several states) is clocking in at 85... and daring to point out this fact is usually met w/ "what if it were your grandma?"

I know... my point was that Mrs Lovejoy?'s (It's been a while) reaction is accurate but a direct quote is misplaced...

Covid-19 swells the lungs, the other 99 strains of Coronavirus are just like the flu? Maybe?
So if you test positive for "A" coronavirus, it isn't actually "THE" strain of coronavirus we are trying to stop? But dont waste a crisis...
