Anybody who thinks this is a hoax should go volunteer in a hospital for the next two weeks.

My wife and I have been frequent volunteers at the Life Care Center in Kirkland for years. It was a fine facility, but there are reasons why this place was vulnerable and the first disaster related to the Coronavirus in this country. I was one of the first on this forum to say that it was something serious and got ample criticism. Since that time however the hype has snowballed out of control and it has become one of the greatest overreactions ever perpetrated on the world at any time. If you added up the number of people who fell down in their tubs, passed out on the toilet, or choked on their toothpaste, the worldwide casualty rate in the same time period would be greater.

In the last hundred years Americans have changed significantly in how much loss of life they will tolerate. I think one benchmark is 58,000, the number of deaths in Vietnam Nam. 10,000 to 20,000 most people will probably shrug off, unless they are in your family. Doing what we are doing will probably be successful in keeping it to those levels. Below 58,000 Trump can probably prevail in November. If the Rat media can “blame Trump for more death than Viet Nam” we probably are going to end up having that CW II we’ve been putting off.
