Wondering why staying home matters, even if you feel fine? This is the best explanation yet.

Yes, and this shows why age doesn't matter & everyone should self isolate to end this as soon as possible.

And sadly, in all of these simulations the group "Recovered" includes the ones who die from exposure to the virus because not everyone recovers. That is something to think about especially if you are in the highest risk group of the elderly with pre-existing conditions. The young otherwise healthy people can sometimes not even know they are sick.

If you are in a high risk group you should try to do "extreme social distancing"! I am right at the lower edge of the high risk level. The Surgeon General stated that 60 and older are at high risk and the average age of those who die from this are 80 years old. Be safe.

a lot of people are not taking it seriously. I'm staying home, washing my hands, and disinfecting.
