    Yes, you can.
    President Cuomo has already calculated the death rate for you.

    "But if the state’s numbers indicated the true incidence of the virus, they would mean that more than 1.7 million people in New York City, and more than 2.6 million people statewide, have already been infected.

    That is far greater than the 250,000 confirmed cases of the virus itself that the state has recorded.

    It would also mean that the fatality rate from the virus was relatively low, about 0.5 percent, Mr. Cuomo said."

    Since Saturday, the US have more cases per capita than Italy.

    US will overtake Spain and Belgium in 10-12 days.

    US will be the most affected in the West in number per capita of cases and deaths.

    It's inevitable.

    No.

    Unlike Trudeau, Trump never issued a national containment policy.

    Trump has followed the recommendations of his experts and the demands of his opposition in Congress.
    Guess who will be blamed for the shutdown?

    Sure you can. Representative samples are used to estimate the infection rate. That's how it is always done. Do you think the entire populations of nations are tested in order to determine influenza mortality rates ??

    It's always been that way, it's just more apparent how humans are so resistant to evidence when it goes again their world views.

    Trump is the decider, he decided... if he decided wrong, that is on him

    Trump listened to fox and republicans...

    he can say he made a mistake and blame on the people he picked for advice if he wants, that is his decision too

    would be smarter to say we went on the data, and we now know the data was incomplete and had we known what we know now, we would have done differently... just be honest with the people, is that too much to ask from our President?

    At some point Canada will need to reverse the lockdown in order for the people and economy to survive, when that happens they will see another wave of infections. The lockdowns were only intended to flatten the curve not stop the pandemic.

    Only herd immunity or a vaccine will end THIS pandemic.

    Yes, even when President Cuomo tells them the Real News - they ignore it.

    "TRANSCRIPT
    Antibody Tests Show High Infection Rate for New York City
    About 21 percent of people in New York City who were tested for coronavirus antibodies tested positive, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said."

    "This basically quantifies what we’ve been seeing anecdotally, and what we have known, but it puts numbers to it. It changes the theories of what the death rate is. If you get infected, 13 percent of the population is about 2.7 million people who have been infected. If you look at what we have now as a death total, which is 15,500, that would be about 0.5 percent death rate."

    Trump bowed to pressure and did it your way. What aren't you happy?
    Perhaps because you know who will be blamed.

    I am not going to play games to distract from the fact that zero evidence of the claim has been supplied.

    You are correct; people have a right to earn a living, just like they have a right to risk getting the virus and either dying or being crippled for the rest of their lives. What they don't have a right to do is to pass the virus on to other people and thus potentially putting their lives in danger.

    In my book she's no hero, instead she's a moron for putting other people's lives at risk.

    yep, so many do not get this, places where the infection was almost zero should not of shut down, that was a waste, they should have waited until they got some infections

    could be those places never will as they already were infected late last year

    almost everyone will get this Virus unless they hold out until the vaccine, and for most that is not possible, of those that get it, 99% will have mild symptoms

    Trump will always let's his opposition have its way until the American people make it clear that they have had enough. It won't be long now. :)

    Trump is not manipulated by the opposition, it's fox and republicans in Congress that manipulate him

    regardless, he is President and responsible for what he decides

    though I have said many times democrats should praise him, that seems to be Trump's weakness, his fragile ego needs praise constantly

    Hmm you left the part out that the test were imported from China, not vetted, known for inaccuracy and false positives, and the sample pool was of active and mobile people.

    You're making schiff up. Trump never shut down the economy, nor did he ever extend any non-existence shutdown.

    State governors shut down their States. THEY extended their own shutdowns. THEY set up guidelines to re-open.
