The young mothers didn’t tell their children they had the coronavirus. Mama was working hard, they said, to save sick people.

Instead, Deng Danjing and Xia Sisi were fighting for their lives in the same hospitals where they worked, weak from fever and gasping for breath. Within a matter of weeks, they had gone from healthy medical professionals on the front lines of the epidemic in Wuhan, China, to coronavirus patients in critical condition.

The world is still struggling to fully understand the new virus, its symptoms, spread and sources. For some, it can feel like a common cold. For others, it is a deadly infection that ravages the lungs and pushes the immune system into overdrive, destroying even healthy cells. The difference between life and death can depend on the patient’s health, age and access to care — although not always.

Both women rushed to see doctors. Chest scans showed damage to their lungs, a tell-tale sign of the coronavirus that is present in at least 85 percent of patients, according to one study.


In particular, Ms. Deng’s CT scan showed what the doctor called ground-glass opacities on her lower right lung — hazy spots that indicated fluid or inflammation around her airways.


So much more and it is heartbreaking: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/13/world/asia/coronavirus-death-life.html?ref=oembed

I had tears running down my face reading this. These courageous women fought to help those sick and dying. See, this is another lie we are being told, only over 60 or those with contributing factors should be concerned. Fact is both women were 29 years old.

I am sick to death of the lies we hear from the WH every few hours. They come out and hold a rah rah campaign, slap each other on the back and kiss donnie's ass sayin' what a fantastic job he is doing. He withheld the dire threat well known to him since January. He withheld testing kits and continues to do so. The Commander in chief wanted to win an election and leave a million or more Americans dead to do so.

I can't even.
