So far, most people don't even know they have the COVID-19. Which is what makes tracking it so difficult.
On the other hand, I probably shouldn't care. I'm one of those people where viruses go to die. I haven't had a virus illness for 55 years and that's after being enclosed in a carpool where the young mothers were constantly sick (and sickened each other, BTW) so they could save their sick days for maternity leave. Even when a virus got my brother and me at age 12 and 10, he was in bed for a week and I was up and about on 2 days. In college in 1968, everyone was throwing up from Hong Kong Flu. So was I. Only (it turned out) I had appendicitus!
I bet I could walk through a sickroom of Coronovirus victims and not catch a mild fever. Not that I plan to take that chance...
Never argue with people who type fast and have too much time on their hands...
