Today (on NBC) they reported that there is now a new scare for kids who contract COVID 19. It seems for a very small group of kids, the virus can result in some very serious health issues. They presented this as a possible huge threat. I'm not medically qualified to say whether it is or not a huge threat but, when they said the effected numbers, I was dismayed by the report. One of our nation's hottest COVID 19 spots (New York) had 15 kids come down with these issues associated with COVID 19. Think about that for a second, 15 kids out of how many million?
Now, don't think I'm suggesting this isn't a big deal for those 15 kids and their families but, when you look at the numbers in NY, 15 is miniscule statistically speaking. Just more drama for a ratings seeking media. More scare tactics.
People, elderly, kids, drivers, drug addicts, motorcyclists, cancer patients, politicians, etc...… die everyday, we can't save them all. Yeah, that means me and you also. We do need to follow safe social distancing and take care of ourselves and our loved ones but, we're all gonna go eventually.

I saw that article. The doctor described it as extremely rare. And yet, it made a national news broadcast.  Rams |

The average guy side of me wants to believe that they are just reporting the news to keep us informed.
However, the cynical side of me believes there is a motive. That side of me believes that fear is the motivator.
And if that is a correct belief, we are in for a very bumpy and contentious ride.

True.
All the while, it took over three weeks for the same media to mention the Biden sexual assault allegations but, same day reporting for this "rare" result. Nope, no selective reporting, manipulation/spin there by the media.
Rams (BTW, the helicopters I flew with dark green with a hint of black).

You probably should expand your news resources. (It was reported about long ago) |

Rams I know Willow already explained this, but we’ll go over it again. The Senate by law must hold confirmation hearings for lifetime members of the Supreme Court. They are not required to for candidates of a four year elected term. See the difference ? (Would you prefer hearings on Trump’s statements regarding grabbing women by the privates ?) You have drifted this far afield from children suffering strange effects from Covid ??? |

Last question to ask before I sign out for awhile.
The economy is opening up. I am happy about that!
Many seen disappointed that it isn't opening up fast enough. How do you, as law abiding citizens, force the economy to ramp up faster than it presently is?
Thanks and enjoy your day!

Mostly by lobbying our political leadership to remove all restrictions and allow the citizens to decide for themselves what the appropriate level of risk for each citizen and their family is. |

You are on your own LOL! And that's the message that should have been given to every American citizen. I believe that government should have strongly advised its people to wash their hands and avoid large public gatherings. I believe it may have been proper to order some businesses to temporarily close. Businesses operate under licenses provided by government representing the people. I do not believe government at any level has the authority to demand people stay at home or deal out restrictive financial punishments to people who exercise their rights to gather for worship or funerals. |
