Nationals and Coronavirus.

I saw a chart with 133 Italian deaths by age Under 40 - none 40-49 - 1 50-59 - 1 60-69 - 14 70-79 - 39 80-89 - 60 90-99 - 18 98.5% of the deaths were over-60's and fully half of the deaths were people older than 82 years old. Look at your driver's license and do the math before you fly anywhere. Under 40? Maybe not as scary as kissing someone with a cold. Note: This data is a couple of days old, so is seriously outdated. I was not able to find the exact chart on the internet, but here's a link that tells pretty much the same story. www.businessinsider.com/italy-coronavirus-old-population-cases-death-rate-2020-3 The problem isn't you, it is that the virus is very contagious, and takes days before symptoms express themselves. Although it may not hurt you, you may transmit it to others. I can't find it, now, but each affected person is transmitting this to 5-6 others, versus less than 1 for the common flu. And mortality rates are an order of magnitude higher. Large gatherings increase the likelihood of contamination several orders of magnitude. Airports? Stadiums? Yeah, those are bad. I was disappointed for so many kids I know today. Some kids on my kids' team were down in Atlanta, at the pool ready to get in some warm up laps when they cancelled the Age Group sectional meet at about 3:00 today. Several of my girls' friends from other teams were finishing their seasons at NCSA's in Orlando. Both chances, gone. Feel really sorry for those kids.
