1. We are definitely all not going to die, although by the time this is over, I bet we will all know someone who did. If I had to guess, I would say the mortality rate is going to be 0.5% or lower. But if you are above 70, there is a decent chance you die.
2. This thing is serious. It has killed as many people in 1.5 months as a decent flu season kills in 6. It is also highly contagious given its novel nature. However, from a total population standpoint, the numbers are very small. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I do think the hardcore left sees a great opportunity for nationalization of certain industries. I also think a large amount of the overall hysteria has been media driven.
3. My views of the virus and it’s impact(s) have certainly changed from December to now. I don’t see how any reasonable person wouldn’t say the same.
At the end of the day, I wish the gov, media and people would just allow the constitution to do its thing. Local governments do what they see best for their area and work up from there with the state and feds supporting those decisions.
As individuals, You do what’s best for your family and I’ll do what I see as best for mine. Same model for businesses.
That’s just my $0.02...
Well said.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
-Samuel Adams
