    You can get in multiple vehicle accidents. You only get the coronavirus once and you have a 99.75 percent chance of recovery of you are under 65 and healthy.

    That’s what you guys do best is watch. You watched as Trump Made America Great Again. You watched as the US economy broke records. You watched as the US military became the mightiest ever. You watched as the US became the worlds #1 producer of energy. You watched as Trump stood up to China. You watched all the hoaxes and fake news stories brought against this administration and you watched back on Nov 8, 2016 Trump take down Hillary.

    BTW, in the upcoming months you will watch all the fake made up lies from the liberal left become exposed.

    What has this got to do with "You have a 1 in 88 chance of dying in a vehicle accident."? Was my previous guess correct? Some people won't want to go down that road which can lead to "You have a 1 in 85 chance of dying in a gun accident."

    And are you also saying that people over 65, and people under 65 and not healthy, aren't killed in vehicle accidents because for some obscure reason you decided to remove them from the virus statistical analysis?

    It's hilarious that you also wrote "facts mean things" when clearly you don't understand statistics

    Here is the figure for New York from https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Weekly-Counts-of-Deaths-by-State-and-Select-Causes/muzy-jte6

    Deaths from all causes 2019 for April 6th to May 5th: 9,697
    Deaths from all causes 2020 for April 4th to May 2nd:17,699

    8002 more deaths in April 2020 compared to April 2019. Nearly double. Perhaps you could explain the reason for this doubling?

    "Our window of opportunity is closing. If we fail to develop a national coordinated response, based in science, I fear the pandemic will get far worse and be prolonged, causing unprecedented illness and fatalities," Bright is expected to say Thursday, according to his prepared testimony obtained by CNN. "Without clear planning and implementation of the steps that I and other experts have outlined, 2020 will be darkest winter in modern history."

    That was a very unscientific prediction from a man who is purportedly a scientist.

    If we grant Rick Bright the benefit of the doubt, and we assume he's speaking as a scientist, and not as a politically-driven tabloid scaremonger, then it would seem he just warned the world that COVID is going to be worse than the Spanish Flu of 1918, being that the Spanish Flu is the high-water-mark precedent of illness and fatality in modern history.

    Since we already have plenty of data which demonstrates that COVID isn't nearly as lethal as the Spanish Flu, then Rick Bright must be predicting, or assuming, that COVID will soon undergo a mutation that will render it far more deadly.

    Being a scientist, I'm sure Rick Bright is basing his assumption/prediction on actual science, right?

    Rick Bright is a scientist, right?

    The only statistics that matter is that the mortality rate for those under 60 is 0.05%, kids are for all practically immune, and if you are over 60 you are very susceptible. The obvious actions - open the economy, open the schools, protect the elderly.

    And the leftie media never mentions his tragic action taken whilst he daily claimed to be fighting for the life of his elderly mother and every other elderly person by locking down the the State of New York. Then he defended the order and rescinded it at the same time.

    The coronavirus crisis is fading down and the people are coming out of lockdown, ready or not. Nothing will stop the people.

    I don't see a link showing 5500 people released from hospital died in a nursing home and don't see a link showing that 8002 people died in nursing homes from the virus in April.

    And also don't see a link that these 8002 didn't die from the virus

    One of the facts is the reaction of potential consumers.

    Opening businesses doesn't mean people are going to respond by shopping.
    And it seems you've had your head stuck in the Angry Middle-Aged White Male Rightwing Religious Traditionalist Open Mouth Media Echo Chamber, only to lift it long enough to show up here. :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

    Awww... did I hurt your wuddle feelings with some realistic information that refutes your "orange man bad" ideology. I'm so sorry for you that infections are not spiking in states that are reopening. I bet it really hurts knowing that in a couple months all your ilk are going to be left with a some democrat governors who punished their states and constituents for political purposes (already terribly backfiring) and a terrible presidential candidate with dementia and no chance of winning an election.

    Oh and by the way... I'm an athiest, modernist, capitalist business owner who isnt angry about anything except how morbidly stupid half of the country has become. Once again we have to save you from yourselves and drag you kicking and screaming across the finish line so you don't lose the game for everyone.
