    Yet another example of the left projecting their own traits onto the right...

    To save lives both by keeping the number of infections below the capacity of the medical infrastructure to handle those cases (and other medical emergencies) and to give the medical community time to research, develop, and produce working treatment methods.

    I've probably already exposed myself to the virus on numerous occasions.

    To answer your question, my grandma. I've been going by her house on weekends all the same to help her take care of her property and give her company. She's still alive to tell the tale.

    No reason to fear monger.

    Props! Good for you for admitting that.

    I'm not sure what "scientific advice" you're referring to though... There's been no science involved here besides a denial of it.

    The only one wearing a blindfold is yourself which is why you had to fall back on a stale now proven false article.

    Nope. Deaths would be much LOWER. Only deaths CAUSED BY covid would be counted, not deaths WITH covid in one's system.

    So initially it was to "flatten the curve" and NOT "save lives", but now it is to "save lives"?? You're falling hook line and sinker for this garbage...

    ** Hospitals are not overwhelmed.
    ** We already have effective treatment options.
    ** Most people who are dying were already dying anyway.
    ** Healthy people with healthy immune systems (regardless of age) have been doing just fine.

    No, they've just brought even more economic woe upon themselves, and purposely prolonged the duration that the virus sticks around.

    I didn't realize you knew more than WHO and CDC. Your degree in infectious diseases is from Google Search University?

    Sadly, it seems that I do.

    A degree is not knowledge. I don't appeal to Google Search. I form my own arguments... You know, what people used to do before appealing to Google and "experts" for everything... You know, back when people were able to think for themselves...

    Again, Flu Deaths are currently counted based on a mathematical modeling. There is no requirement that your death be "caused by" as opposed to a death "with" the virus.

    If you chose to only count influenza deaths based a medical examiner determining that the flu was a causal factor in the death, then the single deadliest year of the flu would be around 15,500 Americans. Currently, there are ~120,000 dead Americans from Covid-19 because a medical examiner made the determination that Covid-19 was a causal factor in their death.

    Flattening the curve is the goal because it saves lives. Why the **** does that need explanation?

    @gfm7175 is notorious for always believing that he knows more than recognized and relevant experts. He will never point to a single known and relevant expert in the field that agrees with any of his positions.

    1) Yes, thanks to the shutdown working as intended.
    2) The only treatment so far proven to reduce deaths is the steroid reported only yesterday and that is only 30-35% effective in saving lives.
    3) We are all dying, Covid is killing people earlier than they would otherwise have died.
    4) Some people with no pre-existing conditions have also been dying. A 13 month old child died here yesterday and it had no known problems with its immune system or any other condition.

    That was not the mantra of the media. It was originally NEVER about "saving lives". Now, the mantra has been changed to "saving lives". It's all a huge line of BS.

    "Flattening the curve" does not "save lives" in any way. If anything, it is COSTING lives (due to skyrocketed unemployment, poverty, crime, etc... due to the economic shutdown and media fear/hate mongering)
