We have been at this now for 3.5+ months here in the US. The world economy was wrecked over it. Entire sectors, including the airlines and travel. Children stopped seeing their friends. Alcohol and drug abuse went through the roof. Millions of small businesses in the United States alone were destroyed and will never come back.
Yet, we have another set of graphs, predicting the end of the world.
Here is a real number for you for deaths: 120,000 / 326.7 million = 0.00036731. Since you probably suck at math, that's 0.036% of the population of the US.
Here is another number for unemployment claims: 42.6 million / 326.7 million = 0.1429446. Since you probably suck at math, that is 14.29% of the population.
That't the reality of this complete cock-up of policy based on garbage models using epidemiology, which itself is not even a science.
Guess what, the American Public is done with this garage. If you want to cower in your basement forever and use Zoom, have at it. Everybody else is done with this garbage.
And, that doesn't even take into account that eventually we need heard immunity anyways, since there are no real plans for vaccination anyways.
Hear Hear!
Very well-said
Murica!

I was down at the protests. Most people were wearing masks and keeping 6 feet apart. Not everyone, and not when they were fleeing in panic after being gassed. But we and others were sure taking precautions.
