Update: Teen pranksters pretend to spill coronavirus on NYC subway (NYPost)
WNU Editor: Ten years ago I caught a flu-like bug after visiting Mexico/California that kept me bedridden for almost 3 months. In the first week of the infection I was so sick and weak that on one of those days I lost my will to live. It is the only time that I have ever felt that way, and one that I do not want to repeat. What I learned from that experience is that this is how diseases like pneumonia, Covid-19, etc. kill people. They sap your will to live, and once your body understands that you do not want to live, it quickly accommodates you.
That is why Covid-19 is not a joking manner, and why it is very deadly. It destroys your respiratory system, and it drains your will to live. I am now hearing and reading reports from China that if you have to be admitted into a hospital with Covid-19, the mortality is an astounding 20%. I am also reading that it takes a long time to recover from this disease. We are not at the end of this disease spreading and/or levelling off, we are at the beginning of what will probably become a worldwide pandemic that many experts have been fearing for a long time.
