Last year 2,813,503 mil died in the US - so, if we are gonna lose 150K people to Corona - naturally that would mean we're gonna lose about 2,963,503 mil this year - doubtful - the numbers probably are going to be identical to last year - we're gonna have less cancer, diabetes and heart disease deaths to offset the 150K "Covid" deaths - we ain't wiping out any population

Makes sense. If you go to McDonald's now the drive-thru line is so long it discourages them and they return home to eat healthy. Less pollution means less deaths for people with Emphysema. If you don't drive you have less chance of dying in a car accident. Deaths will probably be about the same.

Social distancing should drop flu numbers down pretty substantially

Hopefully depression doesnt kick in later in the year

Not trying to be funny or an a-hole but what happens when Trump wins in November and mentally unstable people cannot handle another 4 years? Factor that, a shitty economy, and the holidays and things could get ugly for some.

Hope not but just being realistic here

There will be talking points for the sheep when it shows this hasn't changed at all. Sheep will sheep. Sheep are also helpless. People are done with the BS.

You honestly think people are social distancing huh? They’re out at the bars right now goof.

played pool at a dive bar in Hollywood on Tuesday - got there around 5 - at least 40 people hanging out drinking - not one person with a mask on - girl behind the bar said she's been open the last month and its busy everyday around happy hour

More people will probably commit suicide because of lost jobs or lost business/retirement/savings than from the Chinese virus. Obviously fewer people will die in car accidents or any type of transportation related death. Yeah I'd say its probably gonna even out. I'll bet the average age of death is going to be considerably higher.

8 people in my family had Corona - they all live in NJ - 5 of them mid 20s and barely sick - 3 of them around late 50s - they were pretty dinged up - not in the hospital or anything but felt bad - I’m not too worried

Glad to hear they're fine........it seems this virus is killing over 75 year old people the most......I'm thinking this was a man made virus made in a lab specifically to attack weak immune systems like the older people.

It doesnt matter. L-c will both spin it however it helps them.

When deaths go down L will say it's the social distancing that lowered flu numbers...stay at home lowering transportation related deaths.

C will say deaths going down proves Covid was an overreaction...and trump averted disaster.


If deaths go up L will attribute to covid. C will attribute to the psychological and financial effects of a messed up economy.

We should just hope deaths go down and not spin it to our political agenda.
