The CDC is expanding its guidance for people at extreme risk of serious illness, like those over 60 or with underlying health conditions.
Many Americans will be exposed to COVID-19 over the next year or so with many people in the U.S. getting sick, a top CDC official said Monday, recommending that people over 60 and anyone with chronic medical conditions buckle down for a lengthy stay home. Of the 70,000 cases WHO scientists looked at, only about 2% were in people younger than 19. The odds of developing COVID-19 increase with age, starting at age 60. It's especially lethal for people over 80.
The CDC is recommending people with underlying conditions or who are over 60 to stock up on medications, household items and groceries to stay at home "for a period of time," she said. The U.S. government recommended travelers with underlying health conditions avoid taking any cruises anywhere in the world. "We also recommend people at higher risk avoid non-essential travel, such as long plane trips," she said.
tnjordon CNBC My husband has diabetes. Kidney disease. Over 60. He is making progress. Diabetes under control. Kidney disease went from stage 5 to stage 3. Now this happens. I have grounded him to this house. No one enters. He does not exit. Scary times!
CNBC My mother has sarcoidosis.
CNBC That’s the way! Always count on the press for a positive spin!
CNBC Great I’ve got two of the three and being 82 and Donald wants Jared and Ivanka to head up the virus task force - SOL
CNBC This is sad. They already have enough to stress about.
CNBC Im disabled and have diabetes. My sole income is SSA Disability. People are bulk buying water, toilet paper, and medical supplies to resell for profit on Amazon and eBay. When I went to do my monthly shopping I couldnt find anything I needed. How am I gonna prep?
CNBC Stock markets have crashed. People in their 60’s can no longer depend on retirement $. Still work. Completely unprotected. And all we have is the promise of testing right before we die. That’s reasonable.
CNBC Nature's way to trim the herd by survival of the fittest? Maybe? 1900 world population 1.2 billion roughly. 2000 world population 7.7 billion Estimated 2050 world population 13.5 billion.

CNBC HOW DO YOU STOCK UP ON MEDICATIONS WHEN INSURANCE WON'T REFILL THEM UNTIL YOU'RE NEARLY OUT?!?!?!?!
CNBC Also shop online and telecommute, which they probably have no idea how to do.
pricklyeater CNBC Insurance companies won't let you stock up.

CNBC Sorry to burst your bubble but a lot of people have to work and now with the tanked market will have to work longer. PS u don’t get Medicare til 65
CNBC Please someone help. Why do millions of people HAVE to self quarantine. Why?
HNTurtledove Yeah but I gotta teach to eat. Oh wait-I forgot. There are some bootstraps around here I need to find and pull my own self up by. Where the hell did I put those?
CNBC I have a full time job and I'm the only income. I'm going to work. The end.
CNBC Nah is this for real for real.....
CNBC wow is this serious?
CNBC Why are people hording toilet paper? Is it the poop flu?
CNBC Seriously?!?
HNTurtledove That would have been really good advice two months ago.
CNBC People with no income? 😷
CNBC Except toilet paper, people...calm down. No one needs 17 packages.
CNBC What about everyone else? Are we just supposed to go to work until we get sick and collapse?
Over 60 + BioWeapon = Social Security really running out🤔 cronoavirus. COVID19US
CNBC Implement UBIStimulus so we can protect Americans and keep them in their home with direct cash payments. Not bailouts for corporations with billions in the bank and access to cheap capital. Help average Americans!
CNBC did you miss the part where they were running out of supplies at stores? how can they stock up when supplies are gone?
CNBC Who is paying
CNBC Whose home?
And millions will recovery without a problem.
Is this the plan? Let it circulate through lower risk populations, build herd immunity in he age brackets less likely to overwhelm the hc system? Not saying it’s a good plan, but at least it’s a plan.
regular flu kills more according to CDC website and current coronavirus numbers.
Suddenly they change their tune? Are they going against donthecon or has their instructions based on the inevitable changed? 🤔
I’m looking back at all the fake news political operative media tweets from past flu seasons, where 10s of millions around the globe were sickened, hospitalized, or dropping like flies (the norm) can’t find anything lol wonder why? Not politically expedient?
But it’s a hoax and it’s contained. Why
Smart advise. Based on the South Koeran data, COVID19 is only truly deadly once you're about =62, and especially late 70s & up.
We will be exposed for the rest of eternity...... it’s a fuckin virus. Create a vaccine. We are exposed daily to others, but we have adapted thanks to modern medicines
Alarmist nonsense.
Compliments of the insidious Wet Markets in China and abroad. Great video from World Health Org. TheMoreYouKnow
