This is a horrible virus, and extremely dangerous, but it will mutate and become less virulent. More specifically, less virulent mutants will have a selective advantage, because they don’t kill their hosts - and thus these viral strains will replicate more and persist longer). There less virulent forms will outcompete the more virulent strains, and we will concomitantly develop herd immunity. Hard to say how long this will take, but it very well could be as long as next spring.

And Coronavirus has only killed 6,500 people worldwide! If the the fatality rate for this is one percent, why haven’t more people died? We keep hearing: “just wait...this is going to kill millions!” Again, why aren’t more people dying of this? The number of COVID-19 deaths is NOT increasing exponentially as some like to try and tell us is happening.

Why does the Fake News ignore:

*Actual number of Coronavirus deaths

*Majority of those who’ve died have been elderly and/or had suppressed immune systems for various reasons

*Most people recover from COVID-19

Most of what the Fake News reports is conjecture.

“This is a horrible virus, and extremely dangerous”

Calm down. I’m reading daily emails from medical groups and they are predicting a 1% or less fatality rate.

I think if anything, this really highlights the failure of socialized medicine and that Orange Man knows how to handle a crisis. We are in good hands.

You ain’t seen nothing Bubba. There are weaponized viruses out there that make this look like the common cold by comparison. Spare us the histrionics.

According to your theory we should have the high number of deaths each year for the flu, but we do.

sorry I have not seen anything ‘horrible’ or the ‘extreme danger’! In some regions having other difficulties and on the individual.
