5 million cases and look at what you're here saying.
Yeah? And so what. In March the docs in charge said if we didn't shutdown we would have 2 to 3 million deaths at worst and with full mitigation, 100 to 200k by May 31st. Here we are in mid August just crossing the 150k mark of deaths, largely from at risk individuals such as older, underlying health conditions, etc. Take a look at the gubmint death numbers and divide by the known case numbers. The death rate is tracking right along with influenza now and dropping. If you are an at risk individual, stay home or take precautions.
5 million cases? So what? We are all going to get it sometime and along with that comes herd immunity where a vaccine isn't really necessary. If you happen to be scared by the media mind meld poisoning, I suggest you take a long term leave and quarantine yourself while the rest of us get on with the business of life bringing the economy back with it.
