Is 11.82 materially different than 11.24?
Yes, by 2000 human beings, you freak.
2k out of 330mil is statistically insignificant. We lose 100k to a bad flu season. What else you got?
Tell me..when you were sick..just how 'statistically insignificant' you felt? You false equivalency is wearing thin...this is not the flu--and we all know it. This is what it looks like when the strategy is working..it looks like it was unnecessary...
If u want...tell what do you see today as looking like...if we had treated this a 'just another bad flu season'?
Would we be better off..worse? how do you think the supply chains would look, right now? Everyone mentions the economic pain as being unnecessary..but if this virus had been allowed to rage through the country..i could have gotten worse in ways you might no think of. Nursing homes becoming charnel houses..is happening already in few places. Small town America roadblocking the interstates off ramps--rolling brownouts--total chaos at the hospitals...battlefield triage....anyway--my point is we had to do exactly what we are doing....and I think it's working..and I think the price is worth it. Am I overstating? Maybe..but a Govt. has to plan for the worst can happen..or else it will.
Pretty sure I'm not alone, either.
