It really is a no win situation here. If this ends up not being bad, people will say the public health sector is full of shit. They won't think for a minute that prevention strategies helped
If it kills a million people, you will hear about how we didn't do enough. I'm glad people have the balls to make tough decisions. |

"Nobody knows what the number of fatalities may end up being or the number of people who may get ill, and we all hope that that number will be as low as possible," Sanders, a 2020 presidential candidate, said during a speech from Vermont. "But we also have to face the truth and that is that the number of casualties may actually be even higher than what the armed forces experienced in World War II. In other words, we have a major, major crisis and we must act accordingly." Sanders' prediction seemed to align with worst-case projections released by the Centers for Disease Control. The agency reportedly offered percentage estimates that into a death count range from 200,000 to 1.7 million. The U.S. military saw more than 400,000 deaths and nearly 700,000 wounded as a result of World War https://www.foxnews.com/media/bernie...us-wwii-deaths |

Folks here tend to be completely unable to understand orders of magnitude when presented as such; I doubt many actually CAN conceive the difference.

The government can’t do everything. It has to be a private company/government effort. There is no other way. |

People under 40 have a 0.2% risk and 40-50 aged folks have a 0.4% risk. This mass hysteria is overblown dude. Yes we need to take it seriously but **** dude. This is targeting the elderly, specifically the obese, cancerous and other heath risk factor people. Yes we need to be serious about it, but the media is acting like this is going to killl us all. |
