The OLD and the INFIRM.
I can't wait to see more demographics published on this.
Meanwhile, we do have this:

But how should we conceptualize the intense politicization of the entire covid-19 event?
You said it yourself. The liberal left will let no crisis go to waste. However, the shelter in place and containment orders were the most effective thing we did to slow this virus so we could come up with a treatment and later, a vaccine. That's what separates this virus from the annual flu. With the annual flu, there are known anti-viral meds and vaccines. With annual flu, you have a choice whether to try and protect or treat yourself, or not. With coronavirus, you have no choice. And, for people over 60 and/or people with underlying health conditions, that choice is a BIG issue. And, if you ran the numbers, you might actually discover this definition of "fragile population" includes most of the population.

re: “B) That this has killed over 11,000 people, and is by no means through killing?”
The old and the infirm.
What would be interesting is to look at the pre-existing conditions a lot of these people had.
We don’t have stats on that right now.
Can you get unemployment for quitting now?
If that’s the case, I’m afraid Trump will never get the economy back.
Personally I think retailers should have done more to protect their workers better sooner. But look at the whole hazmat suits that are needed in many situations—they weren’t going to go there.
I guess you can get ui for quitting. At least during a national emergency so declared.
As an independent contractor I can truthfully state that business is way down.
I preferred to find other ways to make money and stick around and work. It has paid off actually.

Unfortunately, we just added 27K cases today. 13 more days of this, and we have another 360K cases. We’ll be lucky to keep this under 500K deaths this year.
Xi Jinping is blaming Trump through his propaganda mouthpieces and paid advertising. It’s time Trump started calling this the Xi Jinping virus.
No, I didn’t say it myself. Political means people are using it for money and power, and that we can be sure the information is false.
As for choice—no, you’re wrong, I do have a choice about vaccines. And I’d say the deep state is facing a much more serious choice and they’d better start thinking real hard about it.
re: “If that ratio holds, we are looking at 120K additional dead for active cases.”
And that ‘ratio’ is before Cuomo and others got their heads out of their arses and allowed the hcq cocktail of treatments.
As for the death rate, shouldn’t we have data that shows how many of those deaths were from causes other than covid19?
The ones that are fraudulent?
re: “As for the death rate, shouldn’t we have data that shows how many of those deaths were from causes other than covid19?”
Not until the dust settles from the ‘fog of war’ ...
Also, money, federal reimbursements for Covid-19 related treatments.
Really? Who has a vaccine for coronavirus? You have the choice of whether or not you get a flu vaccine. But, you don't for coronavirus. There is none. And, that's the big difference when it comes to the population most at risk.
I misunderstood, shouldn’t skim replies like that, was thinking you were trying to say that when the vaccine comes out it would be forced.
