Thread Name: BS: Coronavirus statistics
Subject: RE: BS: Coronavirus statistics
Realistic mitigation and testing efforts may keep deaths under 1 million in the US.
Just going back to business as usual projects deaths to 2 million.
Conservatives say thats only a difference of 2 or 3 % or letting 1 million old people die which is going to happen sooner or later anyway.
Democrats say thats 1,000,000 PEOPLE needlessly killed.
Conservatives see fortunes lost and Democrats see lives lost.
We need to see both sides now. Can we compromise with testing?
I see angry conservatives passing out candy to children with thier bare hands at public demonstrations and not socially distancing,
Unemployment is hard, hunger is hard, death is hard. Perhaps it is too much to ask of people to be civil on their own.
