Who will replace Kenneth moten?
I don't know why you thought that. They said from beginning everyone is at risk. Anyone can catch it. Just the elder are far more likely to die because they are more likely to have underlying illnesses. Anyone can die from it .
Sooo..about 100 out of 508 were ages 20 to 44.
Turns out that only 12 of that 100 were critical to severe…thats 2.4% of 500.
wtf…stop trying to scare people.
"You can have a 20 year old..'one' 20 year old that can barely breath"
One 20 year old out of how many?
Did this 20 year old have preexisting conditions?
Stop being silly and give us legit news with out the nonsense.
So far the coronavirus is a very mild threat to the young.
China Pediatric Study of 2143
55% asymptomatic (show no symptoms)
39% mild to moderate
6% critical or severe
0.046% died.
These guys must really thing we won't notice how there trying to spin the numbers to make this study seem shocking.
 "For the most part, it confirms what doctors have already noticed: that the coronavirus seems to mostly be sparing children, for reasons that are not entirely understood."
Dr Patel is a huge joke
News companies are just spewing lies to try to get young people to care. This is bullshit, nobody under the age of 19 has even died from this virus. Try again FAKE NEWS
What a bunch of BOOOOOSHIT
Oh , turn off the fear PUMP !
You guys are just trying to put fear in people at this point
Just say we all at risk, man I hope that in the summer the heat kills it like they say it does. 🤦ðŸÂ¾â€ÂÂ♀︠all this information from all these sources is driving me bonkers 🤪😫😖🤯🤬
Everybody has coronavirus no symptoms
I was worried for a second before I realised it was American media
This is why 👉 https://youtu.be/ZZamrmTMs6w
What a surprise. Smh. Fuckin scumbag Governments are all compelled by agenda.
everybody in the USA is at risk because they are not testing people with symptoms and not providing people without sick pay day to be home whether they have symptoms or not. So, unless you need to be at the ICU they will not test or do anything like other countries are doing. USA depend on the slavery system , other countries only have working people.
I can’t believe that people actually fell for the government telling us that only the elderly and people with underlying conditions need to worry. What a HOAX 😂
LORD of hosts, please have mercy and save us all from this demon called coronavirus. Stay safe as much as you can. Be strong y'all. Run away from fear. Have faith! This will pass!
The word of the day is legs!!! Spread the word
All we have heard about for 3 months is elderly people with underlying health issues. Then when thousands of college students show up to Florida on Spring Break ignoring all the social distancing and public health warnings, all the sudden coronavirus is infecting young people in huge numbers. Really? Seems awfully strange there was ZERO mention of this anywhere before kids showed up to Florida on Spring break in large numbers. All data we have from other countries show that the vast majority of those in serious condition from coronavirus are 60 and over. I dont agree with what these kids are doing, but this smells badly of fake news and a fear mongering tactic to control people.
when it comes to virus there's no such thing as age range or colors, virus could kill any host when it chose you.
As someone who HAS THIS….. I would like to know WHY you are telling people to "self isolate" for TWO weeks? I've been sick for over 3 WEEKS and the BURNING in my lungs has only JUST started easing up..not to jinx my myself. Given that you DONT know how long people are infected BEFORE that start showing symptoms (several people have tested positive before displaying any symptoms)….and you DON'T know how long AFTER someone begins getting BETTER…how long are we CONTAGIOUS for? You are throwing around this 2 week time period….VERY incorrectly and VERY irresponsibly. Also…..would be great to know how long I will be immune for. You don't know THAT either. Could be 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months….to quote the specialist on the news. So……..WHY 2 WEEKS??
No its because they are idiots
why pediatrician not virologist or researcher
The government should get the statistics on the death percentage of age groups; only then the public knows what the dangers are! More than 20% of the infected people below 40 may be in serious condition with 2% mortality rate. So do your calculation of death you'll be expecting!!!
Has anyone addressed all the lung damage from vaping these last few years?
Yeah, "you could be spreading it all over" because no one even has any masks, gloves, or alcohol. If I didn't have N95 masks, gloves, and alcohol from my job, I guess I'd have to spread it all over the place.
As long as fast food places are selling Corona burgers the quarantine is a joke.
All the chemicals and carcinogens in 1st world foods could help the virus mutate to expand on it's targets.
fear mongering at 150%
I would prefer being dead than listening Loud noise
Followed by George asking
To subscribe 😫😡 i already
Unsubscribed
6% are from anti vaxers
CDC= Center for disease creation😒
I knew this already. The first data came from NURSING HOMES in washington. That just happened to be old people, not that the virus only attacks old people. It was too new to be like “it doesn’t harm young peopleâ€ÂÂ.
I’m from Brazil and I am in lockdown and I am required to stay home all day and just go out for buying supplies on the supermarket I am also being homeschooled until the coronavÃÂÂrus is over
Italy has been saying this. It's not a surprise. None of this is a surprise
No work, no money, how we pay rentals? bills? where we get food for our kids? I am lyft driver and student in a hard situation with my kids and wife. The people who has money they got everything from stores for a year and we usually buy for two days only and our work is paused. What government says for who are struggling like my family?
I’m still not scared- YOLO
FAKE NEWS
The news is a joke nowadays it wasn't a greater risk before now it is???
PANIC PANIC PANIC!!!!!! Need more toilet paper!!!!!!
Blah blah blah….
RONA BABIES!!!!!!!
I believe the surgeon general was saying the Italian version is causing more severe responses in Italy. I'm not sure I'm right.
I was reading the comments when I heard the guy say, “Clutchâ€ÂÂ.
Definitely got my attention 😂
Your dead if you stay inside, your dead if you go outside. People have to work you know.
