It's why people used to purposely make sure their kids got chicken pox when one of their friends kids got it. It's a mild disease for kids and a serious disease for adults

I posted something similar on politics board about two months ago and got blasted about chicken pox before a vaccine. Good to see people coming around.

FIFY

I don't doubt that at all depending on region. My close friends in the medical field happen to be in some of the harder hit areas, so that's my point of reference.

Thats handful of hospitals maybe in Bronx and possibly New Orleans. I'm confident that the rest of the US health system ICU volume was dismal at best.

With a significant deaths coming from Nursing homes and SNF.

Two friends in Dallas area

I had the shingles in the ninth grade. Started feeling sick on Tuesday. Went to school through Thursday. I tried to get to school on Friday, but was so sick I could not move. By mid day Saturday I was over it and was moving around a lot. A brief case. But I was very sick and horrible on Friday.

In contacting parents for my high school students I had one first responder paramedic and two nurses who said they had sent children to stay with nearby grandparents because they were working directly with Covid in the case of the nurses and responding to covid emergency transports for the paramedic. Add to that one of my students has an ICU nurse mom. Student said she missed hugs from her mom. Mom is staying home, but has a no close contact and is self isolating inside the home.


Just because it is not a tough time for me, I can stay home with few issues, that does not mean it is not a touch time for many who might work where they are exposed to not only the virus, but a high viral load of the virus.
