Preparation is fine. Avoiding a train is the right thing to do.

I am saying that is corona is a train then car deaths is an ICBM missile headed for a large metropolitan area.

I am suggesting the response is very disproportionate.

I appreciate that they are trying to head off corona. But even with vaccines and long known patterns we don’t head off the flu to the thousands of more numbers. It is straining at gnats and swallowing camels.

Or, it is avoiding a busy crosswalk while accepting riding your bike for miles on a busy freeway.

Let’s put it another way.

The Flu, and heart attacks and strokes and accidents and surgeries gone wrong keep our ICU’s pretty near full all the time.

THIS virus is an extra add on.

And it looks like 2-5% of those who get it, roughly, need an ICU bed to recover (and not die).

So if 10,000 people in your locale get this that means 200-500 of them will need an ICU bed.

How many ICU beds, extra, do the hospitals in your area have at any one given time?

I think it’s a combination of two things.
1) The virus is real and preparations do need to be made
2) All these cancellations and closings are a bit over the top considering nothing like this was done in 2009 so I think that part of it is dems/leftists not letting a crisis go to waste

Did you know that Singapore was founded in 1963, and cars drive on the left side of the road?
