Some data on Covid-19 and why we're not over reacting...

Although I tend to agree with you, you have ended up on the wrong side of the bet. I pray the troll wins in this case . . . first time for everything.

Maybe I was right all along? Winning that bet would help prove my case. No excuses please.

I get the fact that the coronavirus is no where near as lethal as your "experts" say. we will be no where near 12k let alone 40k dead in 1 year. Ive been saying that since the beginning. We didn't even lockdown until after Febrary, Peak Virus season. We'll see whos right, and who has excuses ready.

I guess the extreme measures are working.

no, February is the peak virus month. We didn't lock down until after that. it can take up 2 weeks to show symptoms which we are seeing now. It might have helped, but was not needed. Lockdown the vulnerable. let the healthy people with over 90% survivability continue to work and build up antibodies if they get it. community immunity.

That's a loaded question. I don't like anyone dying. but what does that make you look like when you care more about a virus that is dangerous to your age group than a virus like the swine flu and seasonal flu that kills more people?

Would you like another attempt at whatever it is that you are trying to say there?

no, the only monster is a senior citizen only caring about people dying when its his age group that's affected. 80% of swine flu victims were under 65. no wonder you didn't care.

Again, I will defer to the experts.

listen to what you are saying. we have programs to limit the effect of the seasonal flu. we have vaccines for the flu. You are worried about a virus that is no where near as fatal seasonal flu with all its protective measures.

Besides your orange leader and his minions, what evidence do you have to back that up?

Actual numbers from the infection in China show a 3% to 4% fatality rate for those infected - and we now have more infected than China, despite their hugely bigger population. How did they control the spread? They shut down a large portion their country.

You're babbling. You would apply for a job in the White House.

China is different from the U.S. Even the CDC has a much lower fatality rate for the coronavirus. And the percentage continues to fall as more people get tested. Do you disagree with the CDC?

I'm not lying, you think the coronavirus is worse than the swine flu and seasonal flu. Lets see. "bump" me in a year. We're going in circles as the fatality rate, projected infected, and projected killed numbers continue to drop.

You have been ignoring what I post and continuing with your strawman attacks on me.

CDC is recommending shutdown of non-essential businesses and continuing with social separation practices. Do you disagree with the CDC?

So in your world it's not only ok, but it's justifiable--nay, even admirable--to respond to a criticism of someone's policy (McCain criticizing Trump's stance on secure borders) with a disgusting and disgraceful comment about their service and sacrifice for their country? Trump said "I prefer people who weren't captured.". He lumps every POW in that comment, including those who were killed. I mean, seriously...that is ok with you?? Trump could have called McCain out on his policy, or--hell--even made a sophmoric joke about his lack of height. But he didn't. He disrespected all POW's with his insult. If that's ok with you, then that explains a hell of a lot about your views.

In my world, you don't throw a punch unless you're willing to eat one. It never would have been said had McCain not started it. Like I said, I loved McCain until he ran for President and became a pussy. And just like Hillary and Marco Rubio before him, McCain learned that it's a bad idea to play Trump's game against him. I never said I agree with everything Trump says. Again, he'd have never said it had McCain kept his mouth shut.

Nothing is dropping, we have yet to reach the pinnacle.
