100,000 new infections daily in America.
100 new infections daily in Korea.

Six times more people and a thousand times higher infection rate.

I ain't goin' anywhere any time soon.
This is one thing Korea has done well at.

So what?

People who get angry when I give health advice are themselves not in good shape. It’s obvious. But just wanted to share my experience about how exercising every day and eating strictly healthy food means NEVER being sick. I’m surprised by the extent of the positive change. Just typing words. Seems silly to be mad and offended / be a crab in the bucket when hearing pertinent information.

I don't have any answers.

Do you think the US will have COVID-19 under control by January?

No way. Likely will be worse than it is currently, as hard as that is to believe.

 If I remember correctly you also have a daughter.  Is this correct?  If so, how much do we know about the long-term effects of COVID-19 on your daughter?

How about you? Your wife?  Risk factors?
I don’t think the long term effects are really known for anybody. There are a small number of covid “long-haulers” whose symptoms linger for weeks to months (to years?), and of course it can do permanent damage to those whom it hits the hardest. Children are the least susceptible group to the virus, and the younger the better. My daughter is only three, so I’m not so much worried about her and the newborn. There’s a prevalent belief that this coronavirus might be like chickenpox in this regard; generally harmless if infected in childhood, with worsening symptoms the older one is upon initial exposure. I’m more worried that my wife or I might get it, though we’re not particularly vulnerable.

BSN is nursing, right?   You probably know more about this than most here on this forum regarding various certainties and uncertainties. 

Based on what I know (and much moreso my family life), I will be sticking around here.  I would imagine I would be sticking around in Korea for at least a while longer even if I was single.  In addition to the stats cited above, Korea is much more urban than the US, so if everything else was equal, Korea  would be doing a lot worse.

Nursing, right. I’m not looking for anyone to give me an “answer” so much as to get other’s thoughts. Thank you for sharing yours. And yeah, I know Korea has specific circumstances that make it particularly well-equipped to handle viral epidemics, but the US having legitimate reasons for not faring better doesn’t negate any the danger. In fact, it lessens my hope that they’ll be able to make any meaningful headway against the virus until a vaccine is developed and widely available. (Pfizer had something of a breakthrough recently, I know.)

I can't just go and get a Covid test for peace of mind without symptoms

I just wanted to give my thoughts based on the lingering effects of the virus. From what I've read, the lasting side effects sound a LOT like the symptoms of an autoimmune disease. I am no expert, and even the experts don't have all the answers, so I'm not going to assume COVID gives people an autoimmune disease. However, as someone who has a couple of them and has to live with the symptoms every day, it's not easy, it can be debilitating, and I'd suggest avoiding an increased risk of getting these symptoms, no matter how small it is.

I need a Stossel video to fully understand it
