I am taking so many precautions I just checked my front porch for any deliveries wearing a mask, without even thinking how needless that probably was. Am trying to stay as realistic but positive as possible. But until otherwise healthy, active young people start dying by the dozens, it really doesn't sound like this disease, however contagious it is, is as awful and deadly as the fear it is inducing among us. Every week we have more drive-in testing facilities opening up, more testing kits arrive daily and heard reports there are many more large companies testing privately, a few with home testing kits, so obviously there should be a spike in the number of positive cases reported in all ages, even as we re-open things. But it's the number of actual deaths strictly from Covid 19 leading to the heart stopping from just that disease process alone starting to balloon before we need to be so fearful.
Yes, it is terrible that so many are sick and there are bad side effects for some seemingly healthy people but for all we know in young, healthy, active adults dying, it comes down to pure genetics, leading an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle, dealing with a destructive habit no one knew, that hasn't been yet revealed privately or publicly or developing an underlying medical condition none of us know, even them. Right now, trying not to panic, project fear, living on less of everything we can, leading the safest, most active, healthiest lifestyle(including at dinner/snack time) and above all, staying positive will be our best tools. And staying positive is a true asset of most Americans - unless you work for the media(poster added dryly). Never have seen this story covered by our television or majority of print media yet and had to do a deliberate Google search for the information.
Found this on Google today, was just interested in knowing how many otherwise adults were actually dying from Covid 19, if there were any stats, etc.:

"According to an analysis of state data by the Washington Post, at least 759 people under the age of 50 in the United States had died from Covid-19 as of Wednesday. The Post identified at least 45 deaths among patients in their 20s, at least 190 deaths among patients in their 30s, and at least 413 deaths among patients in their 40s. The Post noted that the actual number of Covid-19 deaths among people younger than 50 is likely higher, as not all states report Covid-19 deaths by age.
CDC data on more than 1,400 hospitalizations related to Covid-19 shows people under the age of 50 accounted for about 25% of the hospitalizations. Most of
those people had other underlying health conditions, but at least seven of them did not, CDC said".
