Here's your title:

"Yet another day passes without knowing a single person sick with COVID19".

That we were supposed to do a 2 week quarantine for to flatten the curve.

And no one is sick other than a precious few outliers.
Maybe you're like me and just don't socialize much, so don't know lots of people. There has been 573 cases in my town and don't know of any one of them. My friend can probably say the same as she did a couple weeks ago. Nevertheless, I take precautions when going to the stores and restaurants. I sure don't want to be the only one I know of with covid.

Yeah, well, it turns out a lot of us know someone, or in some cases, more than one, so he was forced to move his goalposts.

Show me the link from an official person who said 22 million Americans would die. And we are 5 months at the most into the pandemic. You are counting from December? It was well into March before we had numbers here.


And now you know someone who had it which contradicts the title of this thread. Because if you believe it is a scam no one should have gotten. How can a scam get you sick?

I really hope that's not the topic of this post.

"YOU" are just "ONE" person among the billions of people on the planet.

I don't know anyone personally who has had AIDS. So I guess that means it is also a scam.

That 22 million deaths speculation or 2.2 million, whichever, is what would have happened if the U. S. did absolutely nothing to counter the virus.

You know the funny thing, though? I ask everyone that I know irl, and the vast majority don't know anyone sick, either. Kind of makes you think.

I've resisted putting you on ignore until now, but your posts in this thread are beyond the pale.

Please do ignore me. Have a blast.

I have not known a single person who has known a single person who has known a single person.

It's getting hard to even fake any concern.

I did a google search of all news stories with 22 million predicted deaths. Found only one 2.2 million death estimate and that was if we did nothing. If someone said 22 million I could not find it.
