Yes. Let’s.

And August isn't over yet. It does look like we've plateaued at 1200 deaths per day. And you want to throw that in my face like some sort of victory? How pathetic.
Thats an average of 300 fewer people than you were literally hoping for, DronePilot guy. If that trend holds, or drops - as is projected, we’re going to see 9,000+ fewer deaths than predicted by you in the month of August alone.

Where's your humanity?
500,000 is what we lose in two normal months. It represents 1/6th of 1% of our population, the majority of which are past the average life expectancy in our population. This is not a population-destroying event. But, best to stay in your mom's basement.

500,000 additional deaths. I don't know how to make it any clearer.
And round and round we go. It hospitalizes 10 times the amount of people it kills. You can mock people all you want, but people will try to avoid COVID if they can.

So, keep trying to tell everyone that "all is well." I'm sure all the people in the unemployment lines will listen to you.

Even if the death numbers weren't chock full of 80+ year olds in nursing homes, which they are, 1/6th of 1% extra population loss does absolutely nothing to a society. Now, back to the basement.

If that were true, people would be feeling better about it. But it's not just 80 year olds. It could be anyone.

And you still haven't touched:
  • Hospitalizations, especially among young people
  • Permanent damage caused by the virus.
And it ain't just me in the basement. It's the majority of the American people. Maybe having dealt with the virus proactively would have been better than name-calling the cautious. I suppose you'll have time to ponder that while you're on furlough.

The vast majority of American people are wearing masks and going about their business. You'd know that if you left the basement.

Mostly forcefully shut down by overreaching governors. The kind that apparently consult science to determine that going out for a beer is unsafe, but going out for a beer with Cuomo chips is safe.

Meanwhile I'm in a hotel booked to capacity this evening. The economy has dropped by a good percentage, but it is coming back and people are living their lives. Enjoy mom's basement and the pizza rolls.

You do realize that you are incapable of convincing anyone of your fringe position on all things COVID - right? Your are unable to get past your emotional stake in it. Personally - I am just here to get some comic relief - watching the predictable and continual meltdowns - each more easily provoked than the last one.
