Anyway, I’m just going by raw number data. I do my math each day at roughly the same time. The percentages aren’t changing much, unless calling changes of 10,000th’s of a percentage quantifies major change.
The statistics they are giving, are only from testing being done on certain people...they have not tested everyone and have NO idea how many people have it.

Old people dying off is nothing to be concerned about, unless you're an elderly person.
WHATTTT?? Unless it's an elderly member of YOUR family. That is an awful thing to say.

reed067 has already made it clear that he lives in a tourist area, and relies on income from about May 1 through mid-November - I live in NC and have SOME grasp of the Asheville economy.

So, reed won't see any income reduction until about May 1, but you can rest assured he's ready to say

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!

Unintentional falling deaths = 36,000
Unintentional poisoning deaths = 64,000

And then we have Covid-19 which has already likely spread to millions of Americans, but most will probably not realize they have it because the symptoms are very mild for the vast majority of people -- also meaning they likely won't get tested for it either.

Thus far, it's suspected that one thousand people have died from the virus so far in the U.S. -- although many of these deaths might also be related to underlying pre-existing conditions.

You have a far better chance of being killed by your doctor prescribing you the wrong drug or making a medical error than you do from dying from corona virus.

I cannot believe how idiotic our government is, basically collapsing our economy over something akin to the common cold or a strong seasonal flu. If the economy totally collapses and doctors & nurses refuse to go to work because they aren't getting paid, then you'll find out quickly what a real crisis is!

People need to stop living in fear and get back to work.
Wish I could rep you more, you’re saying the unpopular thing but are absolutely correct.
Time to stop the madness people

Do you think it would be OK if we gave it to his mother?

Don't forget that the Impeached white collar criminal is also an "unindicted co-conspirator".

If you want to take some time and hear how deep this crime ring really goes, these two remarkable journalists have been following this for quite some time. There are 3 seasons worth of podcasts and they are astounding and incredibly disturbing. Begin from the bottom of the pages from "Kleptocracy World Order" to the top for the correct sequence of events.

Stupid health workers. Don't they realize all the dead and dying overflowing their hospitals right now are all a hoax?
Maybe in NYC, which needs to absolutely be shut off and isolated. Rest of the country? That’s complete hyperbole

So many people are still ignoring this and refuse to take action like other countries, we are a very spoiled country and unwillingness to make sacrifices even for our own protection. Very spoiled and entitled.
