Baloney. Due to our government’s incompetence, we don’t have enough testing kits to accurately know what the real mortality rate is. We are currently only testing those who are gravely ill, first responders and apparently celebrities. I have two colleagues who came down with a fever last week, who can’t get tested for Covid-19, because they are not sick enough or famous enough to qualify for testing. There may be 10-20 X the number of cases reported, which would put the mortality rate closer to common flu strains, which can kill up to 80,000 per flu season.

The fire department I was a member of for 25 years is overwhelmed not with sick people. Young people with no symptoms are demanding a 911 response because they think they might have been exposed and are demanding that they be evaluated and tested.

Wow - amazing how only those who are gravely ill, first responders and apparently celebrities are able to get up and get in their cars and drive by the thousands to the now numerous testing locations. As the numbers of those being tested go up, we instead have learn that 98-99% of those who think they had COVID-19 didn’t.
