My condolences to the family, but his death points out how ridiculous the response to this virus has been. Glaring headlines about one perfectly healthy man who has died illustrates my point perfectly.
Family says ‘perfectly healthy’ dad is dead days after coronavirus diagnosis
A “perfectly healthy” father of six from Texas died Thursday from the coronavirus — two days after he received his positive diagnosis, a report said.
Adolph Mendez, known as TJ, was 44-years-old.
The New Braunfels, Texas, resident was a beloved kindergarten teacher at Oakwood Church who had a clean bill of health before catching the coronavirus, his family told the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung.
Compare that with the number of perfectly healthy younger men and women who die as pedestrians being run down by a drunken hit and run driver every year.
Just to keep in a proper perspective.
Awful.. Poor guy.
On the other hand, if they do more lab tests they may find something. Like they did with that guy who died and then they found out he had Leukemia.
The only reliable data on Wuhan Virus is our own…
Cases 85356 Deaths. 1240
The death rate is: 0.014597
This is NOT a modern day Black Plague [also gift for China]
Exactly MJA: “if they do more lab tests they may find something”
My wife, who is suffering from a severe case of demPanic, tells me every day of another case of a someone dying of Covid-19 when they had “no underlying health issues”, including a baby somewhere who died yesterday.
I respond, “Oh really? The autopsy results are back already? And they ran tests to rule out every single other possible terminal illness in the world? Remember xxxx, our friend who was perfectly healthy until he went to hospital for a persistent headache and was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and died 6 days later?” (true story)
PANIC IN CENTRAL TEXAS!!!!
Well that is it we are locking down until June. No reasonable person would do otherwise and if we just save ONE life it is worth it. Sadly some people that are young and seemingly perfectly healthy will even get the flu and die.
The media is hated, HATED right now. All the Lib polls are showing that, too.
I bet gameshow ratings are through the roof right now. That’s what the older peeps in my neighborhood are watching. That and people are doing yard work, spring cleaning, building a 2nd floor on their homes. lol
This is why the media is panicking. Tune outs.
^^^^^^^
And yet their arrogance and delusion will not let them change.
Eventually, even the leftists will start seeing that there aren’t people they know dropping dead all around them or even needing to be hospitalized from it (that weren’t on their last legs anyway) the way the media wants them to think.
Keeping the pot stores open may delay this realization somewhat, but it won’t stop it.
Diabetes is no longer a pre-existing condition ?
Yeah, sure.
What’s really in progress while we’re all sheltering in place at home that we’re not supposed to see?

Another lottery winner!
Hmmm……WuHan Coronavirus……
Only older people with underlying risks were initially at risk of death…..
Then the millennials went on Spring Break…..unafraid of “Boomer Remover”……
Suddenly it’s deadly to all age groups……Let that sink in…..
When it was “Boomer Remover”…..TPTB were having a fit about a pandemic …..I wonder why……?
TPTB are typically over 60…..now I see why it’s a pandemic…..
Coronavirus has yet to reach the normal flu’s yearly toll.
Im 71 work part time at QVC here in s. Cal. Alot of young people and almost all keep their distance from me.🤔 im not worried,ain’t my time to go yet.😉
With my current little health challenge all my Docs are watching White Blood Cell count like a hawk. Mine was getting pretty low. Got a Pro Tip from Plain Jane.Claritin.Stuff builds white count like a MoFo. My Docs are still scratching their heads. Am I going to tell them? Oh hell no.
He was scared to death.
We are all going to die, that is just a fact of life. This shit isn’t living, it’s breathing air. They have everything shut down and some areas even telling you that you can’t have visitors in your own damn home.
I wish we had just one damn station that every day would give numbers on how many tested positive for the flu today, how many were diagnosed with cancer or some other terminal illness today, how many were killed on the highway today(although that number is probably lower since they have everyone locked down), how many died of a heart attack, a stroke, old age?
Perfectly healthy with Corona Virus. Is that like a bald guy with a full head of hair?
I’m 68, been relatively healthy my whole life, but no one has ever given me a “clean bill of health”. I’ve never seen one. Where can I get one?
I want real stats, not just age.
They say that young people are starting to die from it but they are the age group that vapes, eats tide pods, and sits for 15 hour a day in front of a video game.
I’m not being a smart ass. I would like real stats so that i can decide weather to keep working or pull a Trudeau.
Either he was NOT “perfectly healthy” or someone made a medical mistake.
His daughter reported he was in perfect health. Isn’t that an anecdotal piece of evidence. Most people would roll their eyes if a parent swore their child wasn’t sexually active, smoking or doing drugs. Most parents don’t share health woes with their kids.
It’s very sad that six children lost their father so suddenly. That’s a very sad day for those six lives.
OTOH: It’s not right for the media to scare-monger off total hearsay. There’s nothing in the story that helps anyone to know anything. Journalistic fail.
Isn’t everybody perfectly healthy until they get sick? The stupidest headline I’ve read in a long time.
My friend (female) was an expert on rats. She had several of them as pets, had cages in her living room. She appeared on Johnny Carson, wrote books, and was consulted by scientists for her expertise on rats. Two years ago, she died of the H1N1, was in her mid50’s. I’m wondering if the rats had anything to do with her getting sick and dying? Her husband was perfectly okay. I wonder what he did with the rats? Bizarre.
News media are reporting on specifically two categories of people:
1) Of the people sick enough to get tested, the 1 in a hundred who dies,
2) Famous people who are in the news solely for being famous (Hanks and wife, Boris Johnson, Prince Charles) who report that they’re feeling pretty much OK.
Eventually people will start noticing a pattern here: it’s generally pretty mild for most people, but those at risk need to be protected.
