I go back and forth. Depends on what I read. I think it is going to get bad maybe 10-15k will die in this country from it but not 100’s of thousands or millions that is being told.

Will know in 7-10 days when testing ramps up.

I live in a rural area with one small hospital-30 beds and 60% population of seniors. If it takes off we are screwed.

I think everyone should put a number down now for, say March 31 of 2021. My number is 80,000. In other words, it’s a bad flu season. The idea that we’re tracking every single death like this is a sign of madness.

Up to 7% of infected, as far as I know. Hopefully a lot less.

When this is all said and done it will be around 12,500 people that died in the US from this virus. Which is about the same as the 2009 pandemic in the US. That isn’t counting the tens of thousands that die from stress related issues related to the corniavirus hysteria

Forget the death aspect for a minute, how about these 30-50 year old people with horribly scarred and damaged lungs for life? They are open to all types of lung diseases in future.

You’re right there is a lot of conflicting info now. It may well be a deadly nation killer. I do know this right now it is not even 1/100 as bad as swine flu was yet MSM has managed to use it to destroy the best economy in history and we know why.

Say what?

You need "testing" to see if someone is dead?

Not as bad as the Radiation Therapy we will be giving Communist China after we find conclusive proof it was a bio-weapon. Looks about 99.99% sure. Still missing the late 0.009%

“Say what?

We will see how many infected and we will know the death rates from that number.

Anecdotes like that are totally useless. If we’re basing policy on them we are done.

Was 11 fatalities yesterday, I believe. So much for “exponential” growth.

I hope I don’t croak and find out this was all a hoax.

IDK, China didn’t have that many ( reported )....

Will lose more over the stress this has manifested on society, IMO
