I was thinking "lamestream media" was about 2008. When the OP was probably about a sixth grader.

Nice attempt to downplay, but it's pretty deadly.

.4%, and almost all old people already on their deathbeds. Imagine how low it would have been if the stupid democrat governors weren't shoveling COVID-19 patients by the truckload into nursing homes. This is a perfect example of government pretending to help, but making the situation much, much worse. You better just hide under your bed for the next decade, it's gonna be a rough ride

Wrong. I finished high school before then.

What about Fox News? Do you assume everything is true on there?

Their biggest death amount of 2 million was based on society doing absolutely nothing to counter the virus. So schools would have remained open. All concerts and sporting events would have gone on. Don't you quite strongly think that was how things should have gone? Everything left alone. Nothing closed. No talk of wearing a mask or social distancing done anywhere?

Here's another article on it. It's also more credible than zerohedge.

In Oklahoma, 80% of the deaths have happened to people age 65 or older. However, one of the young age groups from 18-35 has the most positive cases with 26% of them but with only 1.2% of the deaths. Ages 0 to 17 make up 5.2% of the cases with ZERO deaths. So schools in Oklahoma should be able to reopen in August. Universities, too.

Other ages for % of deaths:

36-49 - 2.1%
50-64 - 16.4%

Those Democratic Party mayors and governors don’t seem to be concerned about protestors (rioters) not maintaining social distance nor wearing face mask.

How about the families in the 1960's who died of the Hong Kong flu? Over 100,00 lost in one flu season. Yet most Americans have never even heard of these rather deadly flu seasons.
I don't watch CNN. In fact, I don't have cable, partly because of the amount of fluff on the cable "news" networks, including CNN, FOX, and MSNBC. I've found PBS, NPR, etc. to be less biased, and to give a succinct summary of what's going on in the world without the level of political bias and noise that exists elsewhere. And I didn't say there was absolutely no left wing bias, but the right wing bias and disinformation is much more active right now.

I've heard of those flu seasons and they were horrible as well, but how does that lessen what's going on today, which is very real?
