“this is 66 times more deadly.”
That’s so funny. Drop your TV remote and slowly step away from CNN.
“I’d prefer not to have it spreading uncontrolled through the population.”
Truth is, when the forced unconstitutional government imprisonment of Americans is lifted, the WuFlu definitely WILL spread through the population. There’s no way around that. It’s the price we pay for liberty. Besides, as we will have had to be hot-house tomatoes for months, our immunity will be even less than it was before. It WILL be worse before it gets better.
“until 1 of the 15 people who contracts Covid-19 and dies is someone they know, maybe even a family member.”
Because none of us knows anyone who has ever died from anything except COVID in our lifetime. People die. I personally have attended funerals pre-WuFlu. (Shocking, I know.) Heart attacks. Old age. Pneumonia. Diabetes. Accidents.
If it were 66 times more deadly the number of corpses, both here and around the globe, would be much, much higher than it actually is.
I don't watch CNN. Or any other news. I go directly to the data sources and keep track of the numbers. I have been following the numbers very carefully since Mar 12--doing the same work I would have been doing if I were still working in this field instead of being recently retired. This morning, the Covid-19 death rate reached 6.648%. The average mortality from seasonal flu is 0.1%. 6.648/0.1=66.48%, which I rounded to 66.
