And yet even in Iceland, the country with the highest rate of infection, only 1700 people per million are infected. That’s 1.7 people per thousand. That’s less than 0.2%.

Wow! You discovered something global leaders, major companies, and health experts must have missed! I guess that means the crisis is over. I mean Iceland is a perfectly normal country with a comparable population and we all know that 0.2% means this virus is now safe. Also, do to the widespread and mandatory testing that is going on world wide that means we easily can track this virus.

and the survival rate for those who do git it is 98%.

Again, good thing that you have access to such accurate data and you have enough medical experience to interpret it. You clearly have all the information required to fix the problem. Have you called the President yet?

You clearly have a talent for sarcasm and apparently believe yourself quite the wit, but you haven’t refuted a single FACT I have written. And as for your apparent belief that you indeed ARE a wit, well, I’ll certainly meet you halfway on that assumption.

But I’m scarcely unique in making the assumption that this will burn itself out before ever reaching anything approaching a worst-case scenario:

Now the gentleman may be WRONG, because all assumptions and predictions have a possibility of error - but as of today the situation is entirely consistent with the FACTS I have posted. If you can refute any of those facts, have at it. If you simply don’t like them, I don’t know what you can do. Facts, in my experience, don’t change simply because you dislike them, even if you denigrate the person that provides them.

131 cases per million is 0.013% infected.

in any given year 2.8 million people die in the US.

​​​​​​How many cases were there here six months ago?

Do you feel that the cases here have stopped or will there be more? How many? How many more will there be if we did nothing and went on about our everyday lives?

Are you OK with taking the roughly 50/50 chance (maybe higher) of contracting it at some point but not being able to receive the care needed to keep you alive (ie ventilator?).

Have you ever heard of Occam's razor?

So either you have figured out that COVID-19 is a big nothing burger based on some statistics that you don't have access to the raw data and don't know how it was collected, or the thousands of experts and government officials (including the ones who made the data your are looking at) have some how gotten it wrong.

You know the chem trail community also backs up their conclusions with statistics too.

for ****’s sake...the trend data is on the same site as you’re viewing. You think the 131 deaths is the end of it?

I am telling reality as it is today. So far no one is refuting that reality but they seem to be upset about the FACTS I am presenting. I have not claimed that no one is dying, I have not claimed that every death is not a personal tragedy. I have stated and provided facts to demonstrate that - at least at this time - there is a very small percentage of people infected and that of those who do get infected, 98%+ in the US are expected to recover and that the great majority NOT recovering have significant preexisting conditions that predispose them to a bad outcome. Why stating these FACTS is generating so much animosity I do not understand. The sky, ladies and gentlemen, is NOT falling.
