(2,596 posts)I'm a 65 year old woman with hypertension (controlled through BP medication) and, more deeply concerning, the fact that I've had lifelong asthma that requires twice daily inhaled steroidal medication to control inflammation.
The Covid-19 virus - Coronavirus - is viral pneumonia. Pneumonia of all types is an extremely serious and often fatal inflection in ANY people with ANY kind of chronic illness - especially those who have immune disorder issues (of which asthma is but one).
Furthermore, the Covid-19 infection is a VIRUS. Viral infections cannot be treated with any antibiotic protocols. There are some antiviral meds that are used in infections like Covid-19 and the flu, but they have their own raft of issues.
The thing that is more alarming is the fact that, the WH is trying suppress information about this spreading infection IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE FUCKING STOCKMARKET! They'll have a whole lot more worrisome things to deal with when his fucking *base* all begin to die like flies - just like everyone else in the godforsaken shithole he's created.
