numbers, like facts are stubborn things...
ReplyDeletefact... the U.S. has the best medical care system in the world
it is unlikely the U.S. suffers 3 to 5 times the deaths(to date) of the rest of the world
684000 cases in the world... 32000 deaths...1 in 20...or 0.05%....NOT the 3.5% mortality rate the press keeps basing it's guestamates on.
new york...53000 cases and 672 deaths%a 0.01 mortality rate..1/5 the world rate...at this time, and that could change either way.
take a deep breath people, and calm down. this isn't the flu, but it isn't the black death, or small pox, or the end of the world either.
Yes encouragement is what the nation needs, not Dems using it for political purpose. They make me sick
DeleteThese are the kind of statements that induce panic in the population. To me the politicians, medical officials etc should be presenting the facts and not putting out statements such as this. They should try and be a calming influence in the midst of this pandemic. It's no wonder people are hoarding toilet paper, food and miscellaneous other items.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, but they would sacrifice a million citizens to keep Trump from being reelected.
Deleteas of this writing, there is in excess of seven billion humans on the planet and three or four in orbit. of those seven billion, how many are dead in any given twenty four hour period from any cause. more people die from malaria than from corvid-19 but I don't see a hue and cry to stop that or send checks to people hiding from mosquitos.
ReplyDeletewhat do you think the chinese will do the next time we impose on their trade with our country and the world in general; don't tell me you never even once considered that may have been what happened.
that may have been what happened.
DeleteIf so, it backfired, as we are now pushing to buy products from other countries, medicine and computers, as I remember plus their county is in recession as well as the world.
