There are 2.78 million cases, or about 0.9 percent of the country’s entire population.

Shouldn’t the word ‘known’ be after 2.78 million?
If we had an instant snapshot of everyone with it or who already had it, we’d see much less a threat. And maybe if we are anywhere near herd immunity.
How about like the, “we hate Trump, let’s get rid of him and ruin the country and take it over fraudulent dumpster fire” that it is?
No, saying ok assumes premise that it is really an issue. If everyone never wore a mask again, there would be no difference. In fact, numbers would improve.
Why in Hades hasn’t Congress passed liability protection from WuFlu suits for American biz?
Businesses, just ask me to sign/post a damn waiver. Works for me.
And I have one word for bricks and mortar biz small to large demanding I wear a mask: Amazon.
Nuff said.
I’m one who believes in coordinated wide area serious (grocery stores closed+) Chinese style shutdowns of 14 days followed by reasonable slowdown measures such as mask wearing.
Having a third of the economy on a cronic condition death bed is no way to go.
The need for hospitalization is a key factor.
If Mr. Diabetes got really sick and would recover after a 30-day hospital stay, you wouldn’t want him to cost you more in taxes.
We may have got Covid in North America because roughly 7 people brought it from China to California and perhaps 50 brought it from Italy.
The crew bringing Americans from Wuhan and American tourists returning from Europe weren’t quarantined.
A small number of people can spread a respiratory disease fast.
Bump
113K deaths. How many unborn babies are killed each year? 7 or 8 times that number and yet the left wants us to believe they actually care about life.
I am so damned tired of “journalists” confusing mortality rates with case fatality rates )CFR). They consistently report CFR as mortality rate. Even those who try to factually explain what the data tells us wind up significantly overstating mortality.
