I personally know five people who have had COVID, all in their 40s or 50s; only one had any lingering side effects but those are in the process of resolving.

Remember when everyone was saying how sh!tty the USA was, and how crazy, and belligerent Americans were. We couldn't control the virus, we were the worst nation, don't be like the US... etc etc


Turns out Europe is no better.... I don't feel for them one bit.

No, it was randomized, and very short term. Bur what it did show was that the majority of people hAd returned to normal in a week and the overwhelming majority in three weeks.

I had a cold in February and had a lingering cough for several months after that. So we should probably stay shut down in case people get a common cold because there could be lingering effects.

None of us are surprised that you apparently think Europe is a country.

I guess CNBC agrees with me since they lumped all European countries into one headline.

5 days ago you stated that travel bans will continue into Spring 2021 because of the high US infection rate.. Guess we can plan on reversing it to the "US not allowing European countries into the US because of their high infection rates".

Exactly. They were the geniuses calling the game at quarter time. Here we are a little further into the game and my how.things have changed.

I am sick of the media. Zero critical thinking skills by the consumers also doesn't help.
