Throughout the country, as pandemics go lets talk about overall death rates. Covid19 has a 2% mortality rate. Like the common flu. Those susceptible to COVID19 are over 80 and would be victim to any disease. It's not a threat to most of us...why the lock down?
We understand the republican/trumper position, the Older Americans do not count. We just do not agree with it. I think trump supports going for herd immunity. This would probably kill off a couple of million more and will not result in immunity and those people (yes many would be older Americans) would have died for nothing. Take precautions. When vaccine is safe and effective, take it. Quit whining because you are not having a good time, especially if you are actually still having a pretty good time and are just whining for other people, because they do not whine loud enough.

Obviously you omit facts when you make statements of that sort.
Fact: Blue State and Cities are using the Chinese Covid to lock down their people and the economy;
Fact: Most deaths per capita from Covid-19 in Deep Blue States (Counties and Cities).
As of Oct. 12, the 10 counties with the most COVID-19 deaths account for 22.3% of all related deaths in the U.S. but only 11.2% of the population.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, New York City has a coronavirus death rate of
284 per 100,000; the rest of the state has a rate of 81 per 100,000. The average COVID-19 death rate for the entirety of the U.S. is roughly 65 per 100,000. (For more on how New York City skews COVID-19 data in the U.S., see
this Heritage Backgrounder.)
This evidence suggests that as new locations in the U.S. experienced surges in COVID-19 cases throughout this pandemic, death rates remained lower.
