Ya, let’s all go back to work while the predictions are 50k to 75k per month dying

It's crazy to think that is going to happen.

No, not crazy. Just dumb. Stupid.

80,000 reportedly died from pneumonia and 60,000 from the flu.

How many died in vehicle crashes?

Should we ground all vehicles, trucks most definitely, for six months until we get a cure for crashes?

Wu-flu is a clear danger, but so is an economic collapse.

In North Carolina alone, there are 370,000 hospitality employees out of work. Just the tip of the iceberg.

Really, because that’s exactly what they said in yesterday’s presidential briefing. In fact, President Trump himself said that. How do you think we get to 100k deaths in two months?

"If we do things together well, almost perfectly, we could get in the range of 100,000 to 200,000 fatalities," Birx said after being asked about U.S. projections related to the outbreak. "We don’t even want to see that."

She added that the administration's models show a worst-case scenario of between 1.6 million and 2.2 million deaths if the U.S. were to enforce zero restrictions on travel and gathering.
