Not saying they should die, but what are ya gonna do?She and her family should shelter in place. Just as folks with serious comorbidities should.

I want to agree with you OP, but what about this: https://www.boston.com/news/coronavirus/2020/04/24/covid-19-strokesCertainly worth investigating, but also strokes increase with flu. Check it out. Maybe an overactive immune response, but will launch a million studies so good for PhD's.

When Covid-19 first started, the 'anecdotal' word was that smokers were having higher fatality outcomes, not lower. So what has changed?
Profitable addictive substance purveyors lobby and pay big bucks relentlessly for data mining to indicate that addictive substances have even a skosh of positive health effects and have done so through the ages, whether it be alcohol, nicotine, narcotics, speed etc. etc. Many addictive substances CAN have known therapeutic use aka narcotics for pain control, cocaine as topical anesthetic, etc.
Data mining does not indicate original research. Data mining takes for granted the underlying 'truth' of whatever data sources it utilizes and massages them. The most trivial positive correlations are then treated as 'scientific proof' and can make big bucks for the 'researchers' involved. They also don't require much work because original research is laborious, tedious, and meaningful data yields can be slight compared to the enormous time...

LOL, this must be the 10th time you've said the same wrong thing.
It doesn't mean the rest of the country is somehow immune - it's just spreading slower to other places especially with the lockdowns.
