    If you look at the math, if you’re under 50, healthy, without the known preconditions that interact badly, your chance of death is insignificant. Obviously don’t go hugging your elderly parent or anyone not in your inner circle for the time being. Otherwise, mask yourself, keep your distance, wash hands regularly and this will work itself out. Most of the country can work under these relatively easy rules. It’s NOT brain surgery or complicated. I prefer millions NOT unemployed, a stable stock market or the ridiculous debt we’re in because all our fearless leaders on ALL sides trusted doctors who know they’ll never be criticized for being paranoid. Doctors/researchers can always overreact and get away scott free. We closed down, fine. We saved the hospitals from being overrun while bankrupting them at the same tome. Fine I guess. We obviously ****ed our selves financially. NOT fine. We saved lives? Possibly. But No one will really know. We could have not shut down and we’d be at a similarly place as now, but without the financial destruction that will take years to recover from.

    It started for the USA with one case in Everett, WA, who was cured with Remdesivir and released from Providence Hospital in the second half of January.

    All it took was one, then BAMMMM!!!!

    It was in reply to his post saying Trumps should have spoken about the bad people on both sides of that rally instead of the good people to calm the situation down. Total nonsense.

    Here's why everyone who resists re opening the country is doing so....it has ZERO to do with keeping people "safe"

    HINT: As suggested long ago, it's all about defeating Trump. PERIOD

    Sure, it's an opinion (just as General Flynn's innocence was a year ago).
    But it's spot on accurate.

    Coronavirus reopening – Democrats resist, Americans persist. Here's why

    Sweden tried doing what you suggest. They faced higher death tolls AND more economic contraction than their neighbors. This **** is both incorrect and dangerous.

    So you advocate deception, destroying the economy and killing people is great if it gets a Democrat elected?

    Pathetic beyond words. The Democrat party is full of lunatics.

    This is the one of the most deadly viruses we've faced as a nation in the past century. Please come to terms with the facts no matter how much the trigger Trump worshippers.

    Please come to terms that this virus would not have made the news at all if a Democrat had been in the White House.

    Democrats couldn't care less what the death toll is.
    They only care what the damage toll to Conservatives and Republicans is.

    I have no interest in your baseless fantasy, nor does it matter. When you can address reality, we can talk. If you insist on playing around with your tinfoil, baseless **** instead, have fun with that. I guess strawmen need love too.

    More deadly than AIDS? And I can list a whole range of other viruses with a death rate of over 6%.

    Exactly. They are blinded by their hatred of DJT

    But they make salacious, wild claims that have no backing then tell us we are "baseless fantasy"

    I'm not sure what you didn't understand about "one of," but maybe reflect on those words. And, yes, COVID is obviously killing more on an annual basis than HIV has. Please be honest. The fact that HIV has been around for longer needs to be taken into account; but don't let a silly thing like facts get in the way of your propaganda.

    How many viruses can you list over the past century that have matched COVID's daily death rates? But whatever it takes to avoid the facts for the sake of the dear leader.

    I'm to the right of both you and Trump on economics. Try addressing reality. Lazily and dishonestly labelling the facts "dishonesty" just because they inconvenience your authoritarian hero worship of the dear leader won't work on people capable of honest and critical thought.

    And it is adorable that you think so. Meanwhile, your tinfoil defenses of Trump worship have nothing to do with reality. Join us in reality. Stop risking lives just because you don't like reality.

    You've been told that "Billions" of Americans are going to die.....and you believe it.

    Yet, across the nation it is difficult to find anyone who knows anyone who has actually died, especially of COVID19. If you listen to the left Media, half your neighbors should be dead by now.

    I live in a urban city of over 1 million. NO ONE is dying other than a VERY SMALL FEW (as is NORMAL)

    That's a lie. I have neither been told that, nor do I believe it. Try addressing reality instead of making **** up.

    Another lie. More than 80,000 dead so far. And, no, it isn't hard to find anyone who knows anyone who actually died. Not for those who actually look. You are confused because you refuse to honestly investigate.

    Third lie in a single post. Congrats. That takes effort.

    Another lie. Already addressed. I don't like using that word, and I'm sure the mods won't like it, but you are putting people at further risk with this dishonesty.

    No, seriously, they could tell you ANYTHING and you'd eat it up like a hungry puppy.

    Right...and how many do YOU know who have died? ZERO....like everyone else.


    It's no one's fault but your own that you believe the media which has confessed to lying over a hundred times now.
