“It has been for more than 6000 in the US so far.”

Leading Causes of Death in the U.S. 2019
•Heart disease: 647,457.
•Cancer: 599,108.
•Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936.
•Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201.
•Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383.
•Alzheimer's disease: 121,404.
•Diabetes: 83,564.
•Influenza and pneumonia: 55,672.

So yes, 6000 in three months is bad. Yes I am concerned about this virus. I am in a job that requires me to go to work and have contact with the public. I am an at risk person. I don't really like that, and I do not want to get it. But someone needs to do what I do.

What happened to being able to debate in this country. You are either on the “this is the apocalypse” or “it's the sniffles” team. The media hypes it up to terrorize everyone.

I think it is bad, so not a flubro, but I am not on the end of the world team either. I am somewhere in the middle. I go to work and the store. I still get to play golf here. But I take precautions and practice social distancing.

But look at the causes of death above. We have other things to be concerned about that you are far more likely to die from. Just hoping for some honest, rational debate. Not screaming at each other based on emotion.

Just my opinion.

And all those numbers would be higher if all the homies were not killing each other off before they got old enough to die from them LOL
