Just found out my grandson who was just activated (National Guard) was sent with 30 other Guardsmen to a nursing home in MA. Others are assigned to other nursing homes and assisted care facilities across the state. They are all gowned up with N-95 masks and face shields and are assisting the medical staff and nurses with the care of the residents. 18 seniors in the nursing home he is in have died so far due to covid-19. Two weeks ago (March 21st) Massachusetts had 529 confirmed cases and two deaths. One week ago (March 28th) MA had 4,257 confirmed cases and 44 deaths. Today (at last count) MA has 10,402 confirmed cases and 192 deaths. The county we are in with approx. 500,000 residents has gone from 20 cases two weeks ago to 745 today. This really sucks. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

When not activated he is attending college and works nights and weekends as a personal trainer in a gym. Given the way the virus has spread in this country, do you still think we should have gone the Sweden route? -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

Given the way the virus has spread in this country, do you still think we should have gone the Sweden route? Given that over 80 percent of people who become infected recover and their illnesses range from not even knowing they were sick to having the flu, I think yes. Healthy, young people should still practice social distancing and avoiding close contact with others however which is what the Swedish government has recommended. Older people and those with pre-existing conditions that put them at risk are the ones who should be completely isolated. Also what Swedish government has recommended. I have been comparing Sweden with my state (Massachusetts). Sweden has just over 10 million people. Massachusetts has just under 7 million. Land area of Sweden is much larger but both Sweden and Massachusetts have densely populated cities. As of early Sunday morning: Massachusetts: Confirmed cases: 11,736 Deaths: 216 Sweden: Confirmed: 6443 Deaths: 373 Keep in mind that Sweden has not shut down it's entire economy. If Sweden should suddenly become a "hot spot" I certainly would admit I was wrong. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
