There are no quarantines for everyone with penalties. Where I am I can go out day or night with no penalties. Stop the drama. Is it inconvenient? Yes. Does it suck? Yes. Are people hurting from the economic shutdown? Yes. But it’s temporary. Are people dying from the virus? Yes...not nearly as many as the media will have us think, but the potential is for 100K, or more...not as much as the flu, but being it’s new and no vaccine, much hyped. Let’s keep perspective on all fronts.

so just because you personally are not affected you could care less about all the millions , some who will commit suicide and others will commit homicide due to the stress of no job and no income and being forced to stay in...

so who cares if our young families and our working families suffer immense personal losses as long as you are "okay"...v

its great that some freepers are all set in life, but most Americans are not set...they don't live on ranches or in small towns or have immense wealth...most Americans live hand to mouth...so losing a job is losing hope.....

at least pray for them....

“but the potential is for 100K, or more...not as much as the flu”

100K is the low end projection by the CCP-19 Task Force. Honestly I hope for a lower number. But for the record, that’s well over the worst flu death toll in a long, long time.

Six days running this virus has killed well over the average daily flu in-season number, generally 2 or 3 times. It’s like we’re getting 3 flu seasons stacked up on each other with only 1/20th as many people infected.

People need to stay home and stay safe.
