“What is true is that this is no worse than recent flu pandemics such as H1N1 and nothing near worthy of the mass hysteria which has gripped our country”
Yeah, I don’t know how you rationalize from bad information. There’s 20,000 dead in the Tri-State area alone in 45 days.
But maybe I’m wrong. Perhaps I’m the one who is mistaken. So show me the data of another pandemic in the US that had a great death toll in 45 days for one area.
Argument from parochial bias.

“There’s 20,000 dead in the Tri-State area alone in 45 days.”
Guess that means there are 5,000 dead in the rest of the country. So....let’s let the rest of the USA get back to work and quarantine the Tri-State area!
Arizona: 7.5 million people, about 140 dead (including about 30 Navajo, who have some special challenges in dealing with this). We aren’t NYC, thank God! Time to build a wall around NYC and set the rest of the country free.
