The death rate is not important to most people. There is a low, low probability this will kill you.
Death rates are incalculable until the pandemic is over, so basing anything on them now is not really going to get you anywhere.
The other part of this is the folks comparing countrywide numbers against the dozen or so hot spots in the country right now. They are not similar sets of numbers. The virus spreads, like weeds on a lawn. What NYC is doing today is what Chicago will do in two weeks.
The Flubros can’t do simple math or basic reading on how viruses spread.
Thank Rush and Trump for that. At least Trump has changed his spots.
But, they are not interested in learning or discussing. Whatever.
These false death rates is what is scaring everyone. How can you say it's not important? I agree this virus spreads like the common cold. Though the real death rates are obviously a LOT less then what is being reported.
