A few days ago from the head of the WHO: “The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.” “Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never, ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” he said. nypost.com/2020/10/11/who-warns-against-covid-19-lockdowns-due-to-economic-damage/

KUSI created this chart using CDC stats. And remember these stats include deaths from...ahem...or with Covid. It's not all about whether you get sick, live or die...it's about long=term health problems of those who "survive"...damage to the lungs, kidneys, liver, brain, heart and pulmonary system persist for months or forever: • COVID-19 can sometimes result in prolonged illness, even in young adults and children without underlying chronic medical conditions. • There are many case reports from people who do not regain their previous health following COVID-19.Body systems and organs that can be affected : • Heart Damage to heart muscle, heart failure • Lungs Damage to lung tissue and restrictive lung failure • Brain and the nervous system Loss of sense of smell (anosmia) Consequences of thrombo-embolic events such as pulmonary embolism, heart attack, stroke Cognitive impairment (e.g. memory and concentration) • Mental health Anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and sleep disturbance • Musculoskeletal and others Pain in join and muscles Fatigue www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/risk-comms-updates/update-36-long-term-symptoms.pdf?sfvrsn=5d3789a6_2#:~:text=Approximately%2010%2D15%25%20of%20cases,about%205%25%20become%20critically%20ill.&text=For%20some%20people%2C%20some%20symptoms,to%20others%20during%20this%20time.

• COVID-19 can sometimes... • There are many case reports... Outliers and anecdotal stories should not be the reason to shut down the economy. These are the effects from the regular old flu that comes around every year, year after year: Body aches, headaches, dizziness, confusion, and complications can include encephalitis, inflammation of the heart, sepsis, organ failure, sinus and ear infections, pneumonia, etc. www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/symptoms.htm

Not sure if the media is allowed into practices so the UT reporters would need to get information from the coaches if they want to provide any
Can we not go down the rabbit hole on Covid - it is a very serious situation for not only those who get it - the families and friends - all those who are trying to help those who tested positive - from the people bringing patients to medical facilities -to all the others working in various positions besides the doctors , nurses , .... it affects a lot of people during and after
Yes about 97% do recover - with a death rate of 3% or over 217,000 so far in the US . Believe stats show that only .01 % of those with the Flu die
Also could those who come down with COVID( even if they survive ) be considered as having a Pre - Existing condition that could eliminate some from medical coverage by their insurance companies . Plus as shown could have lingering affects
Yes the economy has taken a hard hit , some parts hit harder then others but the we are not locked down and will rebound when we get this serious situation under control by following what the scientists are saying .

I know seven people over the age of 70 who have gotten the virus. Three of them are dead. I'm not going to get into any arguments about death rates or the seriousness of this disease. I state only my experience and what I know to be true. Three dead out of seven and one of the dead was my best friend.
