Social Distancing

[April_Rose]

I think that the biggest reason that younger kids and infants aren't getting Covid-19 as much is because unlike adults,.. they don't go out and party and hangout at the bars. Plus, if their parents tell them stuff for their own good to prevent them from getting sick,.. most likely they listen since they don't want to get sick in the first place. Seems like we can learn an awful lot from the children. So please remember to stay home and social distance and wear a mask when appropriate.

I don't think that's the reason.

There was a quandary in New York not long ago about why so many of the people getting sick were wearing masks and staying very much at home. The reason was simply that Old people are more likely to stay at home (shut-ins), not socialize, and Old people were more likely to get sick and die from it, because they're Old.

Yes, mom.

Well, I forgot to mention that there's other reasons other than the one I mentioned but I believe that the OP was a really big reason. However, I agree with you as well.

Did you read your article?

I think you'll find that the problem is mainly connected with Aged Care facilities where there's a concentration of susceptible older people and a stream of contacts with the outside world through staff and visitors.

I have special needs so I'm not going by the article I'm just going by what he said.

The key being that they are susceptible and old, as you say. Even in your own rebuttal you admit my point, that they are getting sick and dying because they're old.

I agree they are obviously more susceptible because they are older but you also said (see quote from your post below):

The reason was simply that Old people are more likely to stay at home (shut-ins), not socialize,​

Non-socialising 'shut ins' are actually less likely to catch the virus.
