I am afraid it will make the pandemic worse and possibly beyond the capability of quarantining, medical professionals, and hospitals. Doctors might have to play god to pick those they will help. I see this is as infect everyone and we will have to deal with the medical and economic aftermath.

The economists are wrong, and this is why:
Throughout 2019, as many as 30,000 people have died as a result of influenza.
No one closed up the country.
It’s time to start thinking about getting people back to work & get out of the “chicken little” state of mind.

I’m guessing math is not your strong suit.

For your web site, there have been (using the low end total cases) around 32,000,000 who have caught the flu, with 23,000-59,000 deaths. In other words, 6-15 per 10,000 people have died from the flu and flu complications.

According to the latest from the Johns Hopkins tracker, there are 415,876 confirmed cases and 18,574 deaths. That’s 446 deaths per 10,000 people.

To turn it into flu numbers (38,000,000 - the low estimate), the US anticipated death toll would be right around 1,427,200. At the CDC high end of 54,000,000 flu cases, anticipated death toll would be around 2,408,400.

My good friend, you’ve underlined my point: while impressive in their accuracy, it’s not so much the numbers as it is the national state of mind that’s front-and-center. Thank you very much.
