One complete aisle with toilet paper..oh wait that isn't junk food. One complete aisle with cereal. One complete aisle with ice cream. One complete aisle with pizza. Whew...how much can a dude take! I am just upset!

    Update from Keyonte Johnson's family on his condition. That the medical emergency was not related to a previous or current Covid diagnosis.

    A lot of the internet doctors on here saying it was Covid related must be feeling pretty foolish right now.

    That was a pretty good list of hospitals as well. UF, as well as Harvard, Yale, Vanderbilt and another one.

    because they said Johnson collapsed because of Covid and the fear mongers were out in full force. Just dumb to do that without the pertinent info.

    Well if anyone put 100% weight on the cause being covid then I agree. But, speculating that it was covid related seems reasonable to me. Didn't you have some pos prob on it being covid-related? If you didn't, I'd say that too is foolish.

    No I didn’t think it was Covid related at all. I said at the time to wait until all facts came out. We don’t have all the facts but there is zero chance those hospitals would say that without it being true. It’s wise to not assume, but some on here haven’t learned that lesson yet.

    OMG, speaking of foolish....
    You literally admit that you speculated without all the facts in your very first sentence & then contradict yourself in the next sentence.

    Not at all. I didn’t think it was related to anything. That way I don’t jump to conclusions like you obviously did. Similar to all the people railing on DeSantis when Rebekah Hones was fired. I said let’s wait until all the facts come out. I was right in wanting to wait because then more info came out. People were made to look foolish then as well. Don’t know if you were one of those or not.

    Just because you were foolish in making an assumption you don’t have to get all defensive.

    Child Psychiatrists Warn That The Pandemic May Be Driving Up Kids' Suicide Risk

    This is a growing trend and in places like California and Illinois where there isn’t in person learning this will continue unfortunately.

    “The number of kids with suicide attempts coming to the emergency room at Children's Hospital Oakland, in California, in the fall of 2020 was double the number in the fall of 2019, says Marisol Cruz Romero, a psychologist and the coordinator for the hospital's behavioral emergency response team.”

    “At Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, the number of children and teens hospitalized after suicide attempts went up from 67 in 2019 to 108 in 2020. And October 2020 saw a 250% increase in these numbers over the previous October, says Hillary Blake, a pediatric psychologist at the hospital.”

    fwiw, new cases the last 4 days have averaged 117,000. hospitalization is lowest since nov.27. rolling 7day average, see, i can learn , lowest since nov.11. obviously the weather is a factor, but hey, national media would ignore the positives.
