    That ^^ is what I believe.
    The latest I'm reading/hearing is that most people will probably catch it, but as with the flu and other diseases will be asymptomatic and recover from it without anything more than a sniffle at most.

    I hope the stimulus fails.

    Agree. My 'most will never catch it' - should have been 'most will catch it but wont know it'.

    Maybe a lesson needs to be learned by the stupid. Like.. dont live beyond your means... and get off the tit (parents, gov, etc).

    You mean the same ones who are hoarding toilet paper and water?
    LOL Not hardly. I seriously doubt those dimwits make up the bulk of business owners, normal folks, etc.

    I do agree people need to learn that lesson, but pushing it now would mean a Socialist win in the next (2022) election, and probably a majority one.

    So in principal I agree, but I also understand people as a whole react like herd animals.

    LOL Not hardly. I seriously doubt those dimwits make up the bulk of business owners, normal folks, etc.
    Very true, they are not the solution creators, but they are an unfortunate, growing part of our populace.


    Just looking at the raw numbers, the US is going to come out of this mess in a very strong position, even with a damaged economy. Sure, we are hurting a little bit now and people are going to die, but looking at economies that weren't as strong as ours and their death tolls . . . ouch. NYC might be toast though.

Worldwide there are 711264 reported cases with 33562 deaths 1 out of every 21 person infected are dying from COVID 19 Worldwide. The CDC reported deaths from the FLU are 1 out of every 870 people infected die from the FLU in the USA the CDC also reported that COVID 19 is twice as infectious as the FLU meaning someone sick with the FLU will INFECT 1.5 persons Someone Sick with COVID 19 Will infect 3.5 persons. These are facts no hysteria not BS numbers.

    I agree they're not hype or BS numbers. I just wish they'd give out ALL the numbers; especially how many tested came up negative. Pence said the numbers averaged out between hotspots and non-hotspots were at 10%; which means averaged 90% of the people tested were negative. NOT reporting those numbers adds to hysteria.

    There is a lot not said about those numbers and a lot of facts you're ignoring.

    Not every person is being tested, especially those who are asymptomatic, so we don't actually know the mortality rate.

    Take a breath, drop the hysteria and drop the drama.

    If you want to clarity of thinking, look for Alex Bernenson on amazaon. He’s been in the new speaking truth but more than that, facts. The booklet is free.
