I remember reading an article on DU a while back that stated even asymptomatic Covid positive people were experiencing internal damage to the lungs and other organs. I keep wondering about this as more and more people are testing positive without being hit by full blown viral symptoms.

All you have to do is hope he’s not asymptomatic. He’ll suffer, believe you me.

It’s a nasty virus.

GOVERNOR PARSON ANNOUNCES MISSOURI WILL FULLY REOPEN, ENTER PHASE 2 OF RECOVERY PLAN ON JUNE 16

JEFFERSON CITY — Pending expiration of Phase 1 on June 15, Governor Mike Parson announced today that Missouri will fully reopen and enter Phase 2 of its “Show Me Strong Recovery” Plan on Tuesday, June 16, 2020.

“It is truly incredible to think about how far Missouri has come since March. At that time, no one knew what to expect. There was a lot of uncertainty, worry, and concern,” Governor Parson said. “Here we are today, just over 90 days since our first COVID-19 case in Missouri, and I am proud to say we have overcome all of these challenges and more than met our four pillars to reopen.”

... snip ...

“We all know how to do this now, and it is up to us to take responsibility for our own actions,” Governor Parson continued.

I am mostly curious. I wonder how many of his Republican friends have been close to him.
