The virus is does not seem to impact the young as it does the old. My mother is in a care facility, as so many of us have family members in care facilities Its the elderly who will die from this at the highest rates. And even if they never leave their care centers, their caretakers can feel fine and spread it to them.. Think of the millions of people in care facilities and their care takers in (I cannot even imagine the numbers). How many of those caretakers have been tested?? We have such wonderful people who work with Mom,.. they have families and extended families beyond the care centers. This hiding the truth by stopping the CDC from giving numbers tested, is not making me feel any easier.

(23,138 posts)It's crazy what they are doing to us to keep the pandemic hidden. They are totally willing for many thousands to die and think they can keep it hidden - no, they are exacerbating the pandemic daily with their refusal to make testing easier and try to hide the truth of drumpfs' fatal incompetence and greed.
