    Better suited? For what? We may be lame after this, as studies are now showing the long term damage done to the body after recovering from the virus. For all those herd immunity enthusiasts, they are cheering on people getting and surviving the virus, but that insidious virus seems to be shortening the lives of survivors and diminishing their health along the way.

    The problem is that the nuclear family has been destroyed... that they don't have mommies and daddies anymore... They now either have two daddies or two mommies, or one mommy, or one daddy, or daddy and his girlfriend, or mommy and her boyfriend, or baby daddy runs away, or their daddy is now their mommy, or their mommy is now their daddy, or their mommy now identifies as their daddy and their daddy now identifies as their mommy, and yadda yadda yadda...

    Or they have a mommy and a daddy, but they are very immature, irresponsible, not "parental material", etc...

    What "pandemic"? A fraction of a percent of the total population is NOT a "pandemic"...

    We have no real idea of what the long term effects of the virus is going to have on the health of survivors.

    What is known is that it does all kinds of damage of various organs and that damage can end up causing ongoing health issues.

    However the full extent will only be known after this Pandemic ends and judging by the current increase in New Cases that is not going to happen anytime soon.

    Not a fan of evolution, eh? Things look a little different when you might be the one subjected to unavoidable selective pressure. LOL. The theory can soothe a conscience on the intellectual level, but when the reality of it’s implications hit close to home it’s a bit disconcerting. :)

    ** China lied about it, not Trump.

    ** The Governors took plenty of steps (unconstitutional steps btw) to "deal with it"... Those steps did not work.

    ** The Governors made the financial situation worse by enacting said unconstitutional steps... Although, Trump did allow the coronabucks to go out, so that bit is on him.

    ** Liberals made the protests worse by spreading racism/bigotry/violence/hatred around and by not allowing police to do their jobs (and by now allowing the national guard to assist). Violence and vandalism has FINALLY decreased in the Madison WI area because King Evers FINALLY called in the national guard a few days ago to assist (that's after a Democrat State Senator got assaulted by the "mostly peaceful protesters" (aka 'rioters', aka 'domestic terrorists')... Seattle should've dismantled CHOP with whatever means necessary right as it first started...

    ** Liberals are making this country as a whole worse... They are making it into a tyrannical socialist oligarchy where THEY are in control and the white Christian conservative male ought to be attacked because of his "racism", "bigotry", "religion", and "privilege"... Very sick individuals if you ask me...

    We are going to be handing out Darwin awards like crazy, now. This thing is nasty, and the best way to get back to normal is for people to take it seriously. Going out in search of the disease is dumb. There's no other way to spin that.

    I really wish the "hoax" crowd would shut up already. How much more evidence do you people need that increased exposure leads to increased deaths?

    Well, since the hoax crowd says it's only an issue for people more than 80 years old, I'd say, yes, relatively speaking. He was way too young to die from this.

    Reality is that if this man hadn't gone out intentionally trying to get sick, he'd probably still be alive.

    All common cold and flue viruses are potentially dangerous and people have complications frequently. COVID-19 is not different.
    What is a point to spread hysteria around?

    You are about four months behind in the news. Which on this topic is equivalent to several decades. This is nothing whatsoever like the flu. This is not just "potentially dangerous". This is outright deadly. Not to mention the fact that the economy will not open until the numbers start improving. If you live in NY, lucky you because they are. Unfortunately I live in Florida. And for my state, like Arizona, Texas... and the many states that have not handled this properly, the worst is yet to come.

    There is no evidence that this virus is more deadly.
    According to CDC there was a spike of deaths in March and April but then it went down significantly, so moving average of death rate stays the same.

    Oh... I see... What we have here is not just a disinformation problem but also a problem understanding math.

    The issue is that common cold virus become more aggressive and caused complications for some of the people, but it is definitely not the reason for hysteria.
