Second, and more important: this **** isn't done yet, dumbass. Comparing 316 deaths/M to other things isn't quite apples to apples because the rates for other causes of death are over an entire year. If COVID-19 deaths double in this country, do you know what happens? COVID becomes the third-leading cause of death in the USA this year, behind only cancer and heart disease. And unlike cancer and heart disease, it's ****ing contagious.
You think cancer wouldn't be a massive health crisis - more so than it already is (consider how active governments are in banning things that cause cancer at the expense of economic gain) - if you could catch it from people around you? Hahahahahaha holy ****
Thanks for sharing your view...so i will share mine as well to you.
Before that, i find it rude if u make things personal...like: ''dumbass'' and all that.
People do not die from CV...they die because they were already weak/old/sick...compare it to the flue if u will.
So...if u put that into perspective...lets say a diabetes patient dies who has CV...he died from CV...if u follow my drift.
My point is this: 99.99% will never experience anything serious when they have CV.
Shutting down the economy therefore is ridiculous.
Let alone all the circles in the parks and plexiglass everywhere.
But hey...if u wanna live in the ''new normal'', all power to u. Me...i prefer the ''old normal''.
And thats what Trump is trying to do here. (to stay on topic)
