Before anyone piles on, I'm not advocating for banning cigarettes, soda, and such. I'm advocating for asking people who agree with the shutdowns if they agree with other hypothetical health-promoting measures that greatly diminish freedom and a healthy economy.

“preventable deaths in the US: about 480,000 Americans die from smoking...”

This year alone there have been over 255,000 killed by abortion in America. (http://www.numberofabortions.com/)

REPENT America.

Caution is highly advised. I am not trying to be negative but I feel the need to keep some basic facts in front of the Freepers.

My data is sourced from the individual states and posted in Wikipedia. It tracks the numbers I see from other sources.

Here is something to think about:

3/16 - 75 Cumulative Deaths from the Coronavirus.

4/16 - 30,355 Cumulative Deaths from the Coronavirus.

And that is the month we have been under the maximum quarantine. 30,000 U.S. deaths in a single month.

4/16 - 2141 U.S. deaths in a single day and an upward trend.

Over the past 7 dates the average deaths per day is just shy of 2000.

So OK, Infections have peaked. Deaths trail infections by something like 3 weeks. So we should see some improvement in the daily death count by about May 1. Sooner is possible. Another 25,000 deaths is, unfortunately more likely.

I really want to be wrong about this but the data is what it is. If you look worldwide it is worse. But infections are falling faster than I expected. Hopefully deaths will as well.

We can even see disease related hypocrisy.

Let’s close down the economy and socially isolate everyone for a disease similar to the flu in death rate ... but not HIV that killed tens of millions worldwide.

Let’s limit everyone’s travel for the sake of public health for Americans, but not illegal immigrants entering the country who bring diseases from Chagas disease to TB to measles.

Order everyone to be screened for the Wuhan virus to be allowed to work, but don’t require all immigrants to be screened for disease or limited from entering if found ill.

Arrest people for not abiding by social distancing, but knowingly exposing people to HIV is no longer a crime in California.
