What if I told you that you shouldn't believe everything you read on websites of ill repute such as saintsreport?

I think what he's getting at is the viral loads varies greatly among the various mutations of CV19. Higher viral loads probably makes the pathogen more deadly. The strain in Washington state is different from the strain in Europe. Which probably why you have these higher numbers of deaths in places like Italy and Spain.
That's my uneducated guess.

A month ago this guy was basically saying that this is all a sham. Now he is dead and first one in his county to die. How bad that must be to go like that knowing people are staying home and suspending their way of life to keep you safe and the health workers are putting in overtime to save your life.

I never want to see harm befall anybody, particularly given the way the virus operates seemingly results in a pretty horrific death for the infected patient. In saying that, the term "cruel irony" seems pretty fitting here.

It makes you wonder how he formed his erroneous opinion to begin with.

Here is something which blows timelines up. Supposedly first documented death was February 28. Two deaths in Santa Clara county have been confirmed, one on Feb 6 the other Feb 17. Neither of these fit the recent travel to Wuhan, and therefore not tested at the time.

An unplanned grand experiment is changing Earth.
As people across the globe stay home to stop the spread of the new coronavirus, the air has cleaned up, albeit temporarily. Smog stopped choking New Delhi, one of the most polluted cities in the world, and India’s getting views of sights not visible in decades.
Nitrogen dioxide pollution in the northeastern United States is down 30%. Rome air pollution levels from mid-March to mid-April were down 49% from a year ago. Stars seems more visible at night.
People are also noticing animals in places and at times they don’t usually. Coyotes have meandered along downtown Chicago’s Michigan Avenue and near San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.
A puma roamed the streets of Santiago, Chile. Goats took over a town in Wales. In India, already daring wildlife has become bolder with hungry monkeys entering homes and opening refrigerators to look for food.
When people stay home, Earth becomes cleaner and wilder.
“It is giving us this quite extraordinary insight into just how much of a mess we humans are making of our beautiful planet,” says conservation scientist Stuart Pimmof Duke University. “This is giving us an opportunity to magically see how much better it can be.”
Chris Field, director of the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, assembled scientists to assess the ecological changes happening with so much of humanity housebound.
Scientists, stuck at home like the rest of us, say they are eager to explore unexpected changes in weeds, insects, weather patterns, noise and light pollution. Italy’s government is working on an ocean expedition to explore sea changes from the lack of people...........

Interesting but it also makes me cynical. It doesn't matter what the scientists learn - we're just going to go back to the way it was as soon as possible.

......For decades, the prom has represented a cornerstone of American teenage life. Shopping for the dress, finding a date, posing for photos, dancing awkwardly in a low-lit gym – it’s all enshrined in movies, books, television and the memories of generations of Americans.
Combine prom with graduation and an 18th birthday. It’s a trifecta of milestones. But now, for millions of Class of 2020 teenagers living through the coronavirus outbreak, these coming-of-age moments look and feel vastly different.
And while they’re doing the best they can to reschedule, to wing it, to celebrate virtually with technology, the truth is that this generation will never regain these moments.
Amanda Reynolds is like all of these young people – a case study in what is being lost by those who, in spring 2020, are on the cusp of adulthood and losing many of their expected rites of passage........

No prom? For this teen, it's a trifecta of missed milestones
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — On a Friday night in late February, 17-year-old Amanda Reynolds raced into a department store on Florida's Gulf coast.

If oil prices don’t recover to 50+ dollars a barrel, people will be driving hummers again in 5 years.

We are living this exact experience with my daughter. Turns 18 in early May, has been at home since March 13, graduation cancelled, 18th birthday party cancelled, senior trip to Hangout fest cancelled, all of it.
It's rough. Not 'hopsitalized with COVID-19' rough, but for a 17 year old, it's about as bad as it gets.

I'm probably too cynical for my own good, but I just can't make myself care about the "seniors are missing out!" stories in all of this. People are literally dying in droves. The economy is in its most precarious situation in almost 100 years. Sorry you don't get to party, but if that's your biggest problem you're doing pretty well.
