I'm going to make 2 predictions: (1) COVID-19 is no more dangerous than the common flu except for the fact that no one has immunity to it yet; and (2) the efforts to "flatten the curve" at the expense of the entire Nation's economy are absurd and will turn out to have done almost nothing. - The Donald

When this is all sorted out and we have the spare test kits and a couple years to monitor COVID-19, we're going to find that infected virtually everyone and it has a mortality rate close to the common flu of about 0.1%.

In addition, and we'll find this out a lot sooner than later, we will find that all this economy killing stuff: the self-quarantining, social-distancing, school closings, restaurant closings, daycare closings.... we're going to find that it didn't do anything to "flatten the curve" in any substantial manner.

So we are currently killing our economy and reducing our ability to respond to the impending needs for a snake-oil cure that apparently nearly every world leader has purchased.

I had it. That was a week ago. I still have the cough and a cold - it weakened the hell out of my immune system. It does pose a threat to the elderly and weak, but no more so than normal flu, but it comes with a nasty cough that doesn't let up.

The effect it has on our nation and our economy it NOT worth the bullshit we are going through.
