What's not being accounted for, here, is the significant overlap between those that would die from COVID-19 and those that would have died, anyway, from another illness-- due to old age, or a severely anemic immune system. (So instead of dying from pneumonia or the flu, they die from coronavirus.)

That important distinction does not make their deaths any less tragic, but it does provide critical context to the extent of danger our civilization currently faces. (i.e. How appropriate is the level of hysteria?)

It's all conflated and manufactured to cause MAXIMUM PANIC. They will try to push the election next because they know the house will be lost along with Trump getting reelected. They need more time to work their propaganda.

They convieniently left out abortion. If it was on the list it would be number 2. 1700 abortions per day is 620000 per year.

And, as much as ONE death is too many, let's gain perspective.

1.2 million people are killed on America's roads every year.

And no shills I'm not saying we shouldn't care about people who lose their lives!

I am saying that we all need to chill the fuck out, stop pointing fingers - when we should be working to minimize the impact of this fucky little virus that's clearly very dangerous. Together. (Gloved) hand in hand. Not making political hay.
