man all those morons harping on about 99% survival rate and simultaneously saying we all have to live with it don't seem to understand there would be 5+ million dead americans minimum in a short period of time, tens of millions more afflicted with life long ailments. also what does the economy look like after that?
people really don't grasp the magnitude of it all.
out of 730K people dead, how many were business owners? how many were their families breadwinner? how many held crucial knowledge or were crucial to an organization as a mentor, teacher or trainer. Lots of knowledge and skill just gone in a very short timespan is never good. we're basically slowly boiling with the negative societal impacts this pandemic will leave on us.
