    So do lots of Democratic governors, and European nations. Doesn't the LW always want to do what Europe does?

    The few European countries that are reopening their economies have a much better record than US.

    For Germany, the curve of new cases has been flattened in the last 10 days.

    Tomorrow, 60,000 Americans will have died from COVID-19, and at the same time, the IHME model will have to revise its predictions sharply upwards.

    Take out the few true hotspots (and their big blue city corruption/TDS in counting deaths due to the bogus CDC sham methods) and deaths over age 70 with significant comorbidity and what you got? A big fat flop of a Moral Panic. Sorry bout that.

    But do keep NY, NJ, Conn, Mich, Mass locked up forever and get rid of most of this fake "pandemic" (just a coincidence this is mostly among the most corrupt, near bankrupt, TDS anti Trump blue cities). No problemo, just keep them away from here. We are FULL. Or rather, we will take their mostly innocent non city dwellers and normal folks, but keep the greedy, crooked, lying LW mobs of the big corruption pits far far away.

    To the chicken littles out there, what’s the odds of dying if you’re under 50? How about under 50 and healthy? Are you afraid to drive every day?

    Haven't you understood yet that even if the disease is not fatal for you, you can infect and kill dozens of elderly people?

    They don't call you deplorables for nothing.

    The annual mortality of an 80-85 year old is very high, under any condition.
    The get knocked off from common illness, by the score, every year

    That’s why ELDERLY stay quarantined. And anyone else who is too afraid to leave their house can stay put. But for how long? Explain how long the country can survive? It can’t. There won’t be a country left if everyone can’t leave their home. But at least you’ll be alive living in a 3rd world with food shortages, mass blight. If you want that go move to Latin America or Africa. I prefer the first world. I prefer everything I’ve worked for not disappearing in a few months. You can stay home for as long as you want and if you have the money, that’s fine. Stay home forever. But don't think the rest of us will support you be a leech on society. Because what else are you. You’re just existing, but not contributing. You’re sucking off of the rest of society to live. You’re essentially useless. A parasite. Congrats.

    2.2 million, then 250,000, then 100,000, now 60,000 and you still have faith in the IHME? BTW, flu and pneumonia deaths are WAY down this season. Wonder why?

    If you are 45 or under and healthy you are more likely to die of the flu than Covid.

    No one has died from the flu in the last couple months, or anything else for that matter.
