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.
As of yesterday there were not even 80 deaths in this country from coronavirus. And this is despite the fact that Chinese nationals continued to stream into the Seattle area after the “travel ban” by taking direct flights to Vancouver BC and then driving 3 hours or taking the bus back to “Little Wuhan” in East King County.
I doubt that we will even see even a thousand deaths in this country from this virus. Far more than that will die from other causes related to the economic downturn caused by the overreaction we are currently experiencing.
