Here is the problem with his belief, we have 70k people dead with the government's reaction with no end in sight. How many would we have dead if we weren't doing all these preventative measures, I would argue 3x 4x 5x dead or even worse with hospitals inundated.
If you were referring to my posts, it was a correction of someone saying that we have had 0.02% deaths. It is turning the real number into a baseless statistic to marginalize the impact of the real number.
It is very obvious you think this is no big deal.
No but I have living grandparents in their 80s and parents in their late 50s. I don't want either of them dying from this, I actually care about more than myself.
Yeah that's a good way to marginalize the 70k number as being insignificant. I see that happen universally by people who see this as no big deal. "Yeah but it's only 0.02% of people." Let's put it this way 70k people is over double my city dead in 9 weeks. Sounds a bit different when you put it in that perspective instead of turning it into a marginalized stat. Oh and this is with preventative measures on place too so realize how much worse it would be without them.
34k people died from the flu last year, nearly 70k from this in 9 weeks with nearly 3k a day at this point. Even the worst year in the last 10, 2 years ago had 61k cases.
You can't be any more wrong.
It isn't about perfection... they haven't been close to any projection in testing. How can they project millions of vaccines when there isn't even a vaccine found yet? It's one thing to be optimistic but this is just unfounded guessing by them at best and at worst lying.
Yeah gotta save the money, wont someone please think of the money!!!!
Also what you are seeing is a product of staying at home and social distancing working. If none of that was put in place what you're seeing in New York would have been every major city in this country.
I mean Biden is on TV all the time, only so much he can do from home in that regard. I get your point though, but that comes with the territory of being president, Trump is seen more which mean his foibles will show up as easier.
Please don't take this politically, but I am curious what you would like for Biden to do. I have seen other people take issue with him, and I am just curious what he could be doing beyond what he is already doing.
People who aren't working are getting unemployment for the most part, and gas is super cheap this year. I could see there being a lot of camping going on once things open up.
A place like the UP probably should open up. I mean hell there is almost triple the number of people in my county than the entire UP. Social distancing is natural up there to begin with. I will say don't count out tourism just yet though, it is still early in the year and March/April tend to be down months in general up there between the snow season and the summer camping season.
