Virus not nearly as lethal as the "experts" thought or predicted in Mar/Apr..

Deaths in FL, TX and other places supposedly "spiking" have not dramatically increased. Using worldometer (not the best source, but easiest to bring up on iPhone and follows the same trends as CDC #'s)shows a death rate vs confirmed cases for FL just over 3%, and for TX at 2%... those are for the confirmed cases which are typically the most severe. That isn't even for the asymptomatic cases which are estimated much much higher.

Public isn't going to fall for the BS. Those "experts" who may be correct, will be ignored because of the politics and childish behavior of those on both sides trying to win support.

Shelter the >80 crowd... The rest of us barely even feel a symptom. Hell a common cold is more annoying than the majority of Covid 19 symptoms.

Business is going to continue to open. US Economy and it's citizens won't put up with another "shutdown", for a .02- .04% mortality rate.

If the gov't and States really thought we were all doomed they would be shutting everything down already. As is they know as well as we do that it's not a death sentence and an overwhelmingly large majority of us will be just fine.. Like 99.96% of us will make it...I'd take those odds.
