Question... People are still out shopping, having parties, gathering in places with more than 10 people, handling money that went through hundreds of hands in the same few days, touching items at the store that haven't been disinfected, etc.. What makes you think the virus isn't spreading just like it would in normal America? I work with 8 people who were sent home with the virus, 3 had underlying health conditions, and all survived with minimal side effects.
Good for you!!

Not at anything close to equal rate, even the article says some children that have tested positive and even some who have tested negative it which means it's likely not even CoVid related, not to mention how many kids have this. Why is it automatically tied to CoVid.
So it's easy to yell this is nothing when it's not your Mother, Father or Grandparents who died.

You missed my point. This virus is still going to spread no matter what we do because under the "stay at home" order, very few stay at home and we all come into contact with things infected people touch. If I had a friend or family member die from this, I'd still feel the same about it.

The kids may not be eating enough salt. Swelling of the brain is a symptom of hyponatremia. Salt can help our body to have a less critical bout of coronavirus. People do not understand what low sodium and chloride levels can do in our bodies if it is going on for a while. I posted a link about extra risk happens with low salt in the diet. I ran low on salt when we started cooking most of our meals at home years ago, restaurant food has much more salt in it and my levels went too low. I learned from my mistake and now our food tastes a lot better again.

This could be a contributing factor as people think that if the kids are healthier, they will not get sick. This applies to this virus more than it does to the flu or a cold, but even with those, hyponatremia can be a problem.
Low electrolytes are horrible on the body. If your body does not have any salt it will also not retain as much water as required for basic function of your systems.
Had to take my pregnant wife to the ER for that very reason several weeks ago. Also through my own research and diet. Not enough electrolytes = bad news bears.
I lost my uncle a couple weeks ago. I have both family members and friends who have been sick enough to seek emergency medical care. I have been deeply concerned for all of them, and happy to do what I could to help.
But not one of them, including my now deceased post-WWII Marine veteran uncle, are on the shutdown bandwagon. Not because we don't care. But because we have values and principles based on something bigger than ourselves and our personal feelings. What is right for one is not necessarily right for all. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Serving the greater good demands that people be able to make the best decisions for themselves, their needs, and their circumstances.

I had a routine physical about 2 years ago (spouse was going low-sodium due to health issues) and I was told my sodium level was too low.
So I went back to eating the salt level to which I was accustomed, and next check-up it was fine. It's still fine as of January.
A bit later, I had a sudden fever onset at work (in "essential" retail) and took one day off; the first of my 3-year work history there. I had a super sore throat, but no evidence of strep. I worked the next two days, then slept the two that were my days off. Night-time cough was awful. Sore throat subsided. On day six I returned to work. Everyone else promptly experienced the same symptoms. It circulated through our store staff (12 souls), and we kept going.
Was it the plague? I don't know. I like to think so, because it's hard being an "essential" retail front-liner with all this going on.
ur throat is usually not hurt by those two....but I have to say that both are disinfectants and You should not put disinfectants in your body...learned that from the reaction to what trump said.
But it does not kill covid, it just gets rid of the infection locally whether it is viral or fungal. I am not going to say it kills covid, someone will want proof.. the proof I gave was for the ace2 inhibitor, not for a sore throat from covid.
You may not care about your family memebers dying but others do.
So people are martyring themselves, then?
That's heavy

A new symptom pops up every week it seems, instilling more fear everyday. At this point, I honestly can't believe anything that comes out the mainstream media.
