Why shut down everything when more than 96 percent survive (virus)

Sorry, but the libs are being, as always, irrational and worse, political...

I am 99 percent sure that the percentage who don't survive is even much lower than 4 percent... But I am using the lib,s figures

There have been tests on healthy ppl that show antibodies to the virus in something like 20 percent of those tested which means they had the virus and recovered before they even knew they had it...which means it is closer to half of a percent...not 4 or 5 percent who die

Elite dems couldn't care less if the economy goes into the ditch as the result ofc them instilling and propogating fear over this virus..

In fact, I say they want the economy to be as bad as possible so Trump looks bad

.Politics rules with these idiots

All we hear is the tremendous loss of life, but we know the death certificates are being manipulated to include Covid 19 as a cause for two reasons. One, they get paid $13,000 for treating a Covid patient, and $39,000 for a patient who died. So it pays to say they had Covid. Second, it's political, strictly political. The democrats are desperate to win the 2020 election and this is just another in a long line of hoaxes the democrats have thrown out to try to do that.
 
96 percent live, but many more that make it have severe problems that never go away. Many that "live" have lung problems, heart problems, neurological problems and physical problems and some are having relapses. It is like getting a wound in battle, you might live, but you might never get over the physical and mental problems caused by being in batte and/or being wounded. You should read some information rather than
just blather. We are going to be living with the problems created by this virus and people being too dumb and uneducated to understand the full weight of what we are up against. The aftermath will be worse than all of our wars since 1900 put together.

Oh please

More hysteria

U must work for MSM

Seems like it

I don't know about calling it an out and out hoax but something like it...I mean, some msm stations, that ALL they talk about

Stupid ppl in charge of programming don't even realize that THAT alone makes a lot of us suspicious

Where you get $$$$$ numbers. Do you work for an insurance company? A bit of evidence always helps.
 
Because those 4% aren't just statistics; they're people. They're someone's family.

That 4% includes people who were loved from the moment they opened their eyes until they day a virus closed them.

4% is closer to ZERO than 100%

A lot closer(wink)
 
Who cares about 9/11? More than 96% of the country survived. Hell, more than 99.99%.

I'm glad you brought up the 911 example?

Notice we didn't self destruct(shut down) after 911?

Sorry but I put my life above your economy. Only over a hundred and twenty thousand dead and climbing, no big thing right republicans.
 
Maybe ppl panic bc of the over hyped stories on fake news channels...check into a hospital when they could recover at home ...

Because of the OMG OMG OMG they hear 24/7....they fear death a d run to the hospital..playing right into the hands of the government Should control everything control freaks

It's the republican party in control of the government. Duh.

How many inflated number deaths were in Nursing homes that were terminally ill already?
 
The OP doesn't know what percentages are. That's the only possible takeaway from this thread.

The OP thinks a 4% death of the US population is acceptable, so I don't want them in charge of anything.

I can't count the number of times a trump supporter will say that the death rate is "only" a certain low percentage (like, say, 2%), and when you tell them what that number actually is they say you're being hysterical.

I really don't think most of these people passed a single math course.

4% is Not worth self destruction of our own selves

Especially terminally ill people anyway?

Okay, you win

4% is still a lot close to ZERO than its not

4% of the population would represent a cataclysmic event economically, and the virus would still be there at the end of it all.

Not when at least 1 in 4 virus deaths are people in nursing homes?

Drawing the line based upon an exact number that is unacceptable is hard. Acting based upon the principle that measures should be taken to protect the lives of our fellow countrymen isn't.
 
Because it helps 96 percent or so not get sick. If they did that too would shut everything down. It's called thinking past your nose.

Aside from the idea that you don't think older folks lives have value and economic impact, you would have only changed the number to 3% with that statistic.

We also don't have that many people in nursing homes.
 
We can also add weeks in the hospital, medical bills in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and long term (potentially permanent) respiratory problems.

YYeah....

Still not worth shutting down and imposing "self destruction" on our owns elves
