About 9% of all people in the United States have contracted Covid-19. What this article says is that six percent of that nine percent have contracted it outdoors. Someone do the math for me and tell me what the odds are of catching it at the squares.
But read the whole thing here:
Catching coronavirus outside is rare but not impossible |
Winston- I have to say I agree with just about everything you posted in this column, except one. My wife is a school district Nurse and has been a peds nurse for 35 years. Basically, she would tell you that a LOT more kids have had this than have been tested. Most Pediatricians are telling parents not to bother testing, and don't worry about it, they will be over it in 2 days. In fact, many parents have had "covid parties" to get it over with (remember chickenpox parties? Same thing). Also, JP morgans statisticians think that between 30 and 40% of the population have had this. Based on people I know that seems a bit high, but oh well. My view is get everyone over 40 vacinated and open up. the young people will pass it around to all of the rest in no time. We should leave the spring breakers alone to have fun. They have made their decision.
Of course I ride a Harley and some people think I am nuts. Get you Vaccine and stop worrying is my view. The whole idea is that if you are vaccinated, you won't end up in to the hospital. Even if you get sick it will be minor.
