There are a lot of articles and videos describing the danger, or lack of danger from the Covid 19 virus. I'll admit it can get a little confusing when you consider that such a low percentage of people will have symptoms even if they get it, and an even lower percentage will die from it. Many think it's not even worth worrying about. They think it's nothing more than a political hoax to try to take down Trump. Like I said, those percentages do sound really small.
I find it helpful to chart against something I can relate to easier than such small percentages
We all know that World War 1 was a terrible war that cost lots of American lives. The official number of American deaths was 116,708 for that approximately four and a half year war (July28, 1914 -Nov 11, 1918)
World War 2 was even worse. In the six years between September 1, 1939 till September2, 1945 we lost 405,399 brave American soldiers.
Of course the Civil War was the most bloody and costly in terms of lives lost that the US ever waged. In the four years between April 12, 1861 and April 9, 1865 we lost 618,222 from both sides.
Nobody in their right mind would say those losses were minor, or not worth worrying about.
Lets chart those deaths against the 135,000 lives lost to Covid 19 so far. It's only been about 5 months since our first Covid 19 death, but lets call it 6 months to make the math easier. To make it easier, we'll just take a six month average for all of them.
Seems the six month death toll for Covid 19 is higher than WW1, WW2, and the Civil War. Only an idiot would claim that isn't enough death to worry about..

The United States didn't enter WW1 until April 1917...
so your pretty chart is incorrect...and over half of those deaths
were not in combat but from the 1918 Spanish Flu
Isn't it odd that for such an infectious virus and deadly disease
circulating unchecked for at least 2 months,
before the US had its first 'confirmed' case near the end of Jan.
and the first death 'attributed' to Covid 19 didn't occur until the end of February
Of course, until California reported at the end of April
that 2 deaths from February 6 & 17 were
connected to Covid 19
They didn't start shutting shit down til March and masks started in April
In all actuality this virus has been here since at least December
There can be no ifs, ands or buts about it
When they first started testing people,
they only tested those who traveled to Wuhan and those with symptoms
The antibody tests are not accurate and have been combined with later viral test
Lets look at what defines a Covid 19 death according to WHO
A COVID 19 death is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from
A CLINICALLY COMPATIBLE ILLNESS IN A PROBABLE OR CONFIRMED
COVID 19 CASE
Clinically
observable and recognizable symptoms rather than theoretical or laboratory studies.
Compatible
(of one thing) consistent with another.
Illness
a disease or period of sickness affecting the body or mind.
Probable
likely to be the case or to happen.
So, as of this moment from the numbers I'm looking at....
Coronavirus cases...notice how it is worded Coronavirus cases...NOT CONFIRMED CASES
3,220,995
Closed cases
1,562,451
Recovered
1,426,613
Deaths
135,838
So, half of the total cases have been closed, had an outcome
From 1,562,451 cases, 135,838 died
For every 135,838 cases
From the pool of 1,562,451 cases that are now closed
11 people died
So, for every 781,225 cases
5 people died
So, for every 390,612 cases
2 people died
And, FOR EVERY 195,306 CASES
1 PERSON DIED
Now, when I did the math a few days ago
the cases were lower and 1 in every 146,xxx I believe it was
Worldwide there are 12.5 MILLION CASES
AND ONLY 1/2 A MILLION DEATHS
For every 500,000 cases
25 have died
For every 6,250,000 cases
12 people have died
For every 3,125,000 cases
6 people have died
For every 1,562,000 cases
3 people have died
FOR EVERY 520,667 CASES
1 PERSON HAS DIED
