It is not just the elderly that are getting really sick and dying from this virus.
Look at the numbers of people under 60 years old or under 40 years old that not only get very sick but also die from Covid

Numbers are several times greater than the common flu or the H1N1

Delaying the spread of this allows the medical community time to deal with those who still get sick and to develop ways to treat it and eventually vaccines to prevent it.

Staying at home works to slow the spread.

STAY THE BLAZES HOME!
