So you contend that if we had kept going to basketball games, weddings, restaurants, work, etc., etc. that the curve would have flattened the same way it has.
Magic's wonderful.
First even the lockdown proponents admit it doesn’t save lives they just want to flatten the curve or some such nonsense.
It can save lives in two ways. If you stay within the capacity of the healthcare system patients get better care and more survive.
Also, if you delay the deaths you may get more effective treatments or potentially a vaccine.
Nonsense, I know.
please tell me how you will get 2 million deaths in the US when there arent 2 million cases worldwide and the death rate less than 1%?
We probably won't because we've taken pretty severe mitigation measures, but if we don't get treatments or a vaccine we could reach that number over several years.
Do the math. Let's say you need 70% infected to get herd immunity.
70% of our population is 224M people. If the death rate is 1% that's 2.2 million deaths.
Where's the flaw?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone's an idiot.
Tell me who you think isn't and what their prediction was.
How about America go back to trusting God rather than Post Hole Diggers?
Did Dr Fauci teach you this?
Sweden hasn’t locked down or destroyed their economy and they are doing well.
You know more than Dr Mikovits?
This bs was an obvious hoax from damn near day one.
Are you saying Dr Mikovits is and idiot? She has more credibility than 2 million dead, no clorquine, Dr Fauci
No, I haven't spent any time checking out the good doctor.
The poster I was responding to seems to think all experts, like Dr. Mikovits are fools
I know, right?
What suckers think 75k deaths in 6 weeks even with severe restrictions in place is anything to talk about?
Sheeple.
75k deaths that are completely bogus too. Stolen from flu, pneumonia, other respiratory , cancer, choking, old age , car accidents... pure lies.
Bookmark.
talk a out magical thinking. This thing was likely here and circulating months before any mitigation was attempted. If you look at the curves in just about any location they are the same regardless of mitigation efforts sweden anyone? There is no proof trashing our economy and civil liberties did anything but trash our economy and civil liberties. As far as your 2.2 million deaths over years the panic models were saying 2.2 million deaths this spring/summer. Live in your cave if you want but this has been the worst self inflicted injury our country has ever seen

WOULD die, or COULD die?
We will literally never know for sure. It’s a what if, and not what happened.
Given the incubation period, the contagion vectors, and so on, it’s highly unlikely that millions of people in the United States alone haven’t been at least exposed to COVID-19. By the time restrictions even happened, people would already have gotten it, and were just beginning to show symptoms after 1 or 2 weeks of incubation.
