Only people who still have jobs, think the lock-downs should continue

Statistically, you have more chance of being hit by a car or dying from a heart attack than from dying from the Wuhan Flu.

It is also estimated that the number of suicides and drug overdoses will increase due to economic hardships and stress caused by job losses and lock-downs. In the US 33 million people have already lost their jobs, while only 1.2 million have even caught the flu. Of the 1.2 million who have caught the flu, less than 1% die, and most of those have been in nursing homes.

In my county (population 150,000) so far there have been 3 deaths attributed to covid-19. One was 93 years old, the other two were in their 80s.

We have sports stadiums that seat almost that many people.

That must be awful.

Not at all awful, it makes for a very exciting experience.

I’m kidding...

Its a preventable death. We need to do everything in our power to fight it. The Economy does not come first no matter what, because the alternative is death. Beside that I am sure the families and co of the nearly 90k dead in America will be releaved to hear that the death that could have been stopped was worth it so that Jimbo can go to work

"It is also estimated that the number of suicides and drug overdoses will increase due to economic hardships and stress caused by job losses and lock-downs."

that may be so, and that is when the Government comes in to eleveate these pains. Something that the federal Governmnet has done very poorly

" Wuhan Flu"

Coronavirus. Also its not a Flu

"while only 1.2 million have even caught the flu"

1.5 Million as of now. and the death rate is 6% I think. 90K avoidable dead is nothing to just wave away.

Sadly COVID19 is not like the common flu. Its far deadlier.

It is not preventable, and we are not fighting the virus. The virus will not go away by itself.

The only thing being locked down accomplishes is to slow down how fast it spreads, but even then it will continue to spread and more people will become infected.

Until an "effective" vaccine is found, which could be never, or society develops herd immunity, people will continue to become infected. It supposedly took only one person who caught it to start this whole thing.

Remember, we still do not have an effective vaccine for the Ebola or AIDS virus.

Anything else you are being told is a lie.

About 80% of the cases are mild and some don't even know they had it. Of the 20% who have a more severe case, about one third require hospitalization, and less than 1% of total cases will die These numbers may be lowered as we develop better treatments or discover drugs to treat it.

The people most venerable are those with some other comorbidity, very few healthy people who contract it die.

Meanwhile, the UN has predicted that the economic downturn so far could cause an additional 2.3 million deaths worldwide due to increased starvation, suicide, drug overdoses, and people avoiding hospitals for the treatment of other illnesses.

Here are some other facts, In the US, 647,000 die each year from heart disease and 599,100 from cancer. The "common flu" for which we supposedly have "vaccines" kills 55,000 - 80,000 each year.

One last thing, it appears that countries that have a high instance of malaria seem to have fewer cases of the Chinese Virus. Scientists think this may have something to do with more people already taking quinoline based drugs like chloroquine sulfate and Hydroxychloroquine.

What’s your chance of death? Mine is less than 1%

So what? Would you start thinking of your neighboursy your coworkers, your friends and family? You might not die, but the chance that you could infect someone else and put them at risk should stay your hand.

Also your low chance of death must really make the 90k dead via COVID, that we even know of, so releaved.

My point is people die every day. It’s sad but it’s true. The majority of the population have less than 1% chance of death due to Coronavirus. Even high risk people only have a 26% of death due to Coronavirus.

Most of us don’t have to be afraid of it but because of all the fearmongering via mainstream news most of us are.

Instead people are scared and the economy is suffering. The most lasting effect of the Coronavirus will not be the number of deaths, but the number of job losses and the destruction of the economy which will affect more people than the Coronavirus ever could.

If you want to be scared stay home. Wear a mask, do whatever you want I don’t care. But you can’t force me to afraid. You can’t take away my career because of your own fear.
