My guess is that a lot of the elderly, smokers, alcoholics, drug addicts, obese, AIDS ridden, diabetics, and others in poor health will be taken down by this virus. And there is no shortage of those type of people in this country.
If Doc Fauci says it, I believe that HE believes it. And he is pretty much one of the 'duty experts'.
Smokers (and soldiers) are safe - we got our lungs coated with tar, the virus can't penetrate, Soldiers - we were given so many shots and vaccines, nothing can live in there... LOL
And these zombies line up and eat from the media’s trough
Numbers from “Experts” are all over the map on this stuff
From 3.5 Million Americans will die to 100 to 200K now.
Who do we believe???
The Corona-Virus is a totally new virus; it hasn't been seen before. Therefore, there is a lot that isn't known about it. Medical and infectious disease experts and, epidemiologists are making "best estimates" as to the direction and depth the virus will penetrate.
They may be right, they may be wrong, they may be over-estimating the effects or they might be under-estimating the effects; no one really knows.

We damn sure know that they are padding the numbers. They've admitted it repeatedly, although the gullible seem to gloss right over that and continue to parrot stupidity.
One more time for the terminally slow:

Fauci warns 100–200K Americans could die from virus, but says projections are “moving target” - Axios
“Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that models suggest the coronavirus will infect millions of Americans and could kill 100,000–200,000, though he stressed that the projections are "such a moving target." Why it matters: Fauci has been the coronavirus task force's most outspoken advocate for emergency social distancing measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus, sometimes contradicting President Trump's more optimistic outlook.”
In order for ANY numbers to mean squat, you have to #ibelievechina. Because if you don't #ibelievechina, then ALL numbers are wrong.
Here is what a believer needs to believe:
1) China told the truth about when the virus started (sometime in late December #ibelievechina) 2) No one traveled to or from China in the months of October-December of last year. Therefore, no one with the virus left China. Those 2000 plus flights a week in and out of China were just uninfected people moving about the world. #ibelievechina 3) Because China is such an upstanding country, with great leaders who care for their countrymen and other populations of the world, they were forthcoming about all aspects of the origin, severity,and timing of the rona #ibelievedhina 4) Back in January Fauci is letting Trump know there is nothing to worry about. Pelosi and Deblasio are asking people to visit Chinatown and go to the show or out to eat.#ibelievefaucipelosideblasiocuomowilltellmethetruth 5) Fauci then changes course and now it's all Trump's fault for reacting too quickly then not quickly enough #ibelievefauci Trump shuts down travel to China 3rd week of January (so how many people came and went from China just in those 3 weeks) 6) Based on a false narrative, the liberals find an easy path to beat Trump over the head with said false narrative.#ibelievetheMSMistellingmethetruth 7) Now we are told that all death WITH covid are deaths FROM covid #ibelievethenumbersandtheMSMistellingmethetruth 8) all 100,000 deaths are really from covid. No really they are. #ibelievetheMSMistellingmethetruth 9) Other causes of death are NOT declining. #ibelievetheMSMistellingmethetruth
I think most people here on the fire are sensible people, who for whatever reason jumped up and grabbed a hold of the fairy tale. Some because they are gullible, some because they, or a loved one, were more vulnerable based on what we know about the virus. Some have come to realize they are being lied to and some haven't.
My contention from the start of this was never trust a fart. (China) Therefore, I never bought into the falsehood that we didn't get it here until January. It cannot make sense for it to be so. Therefore, the number of people who have had it is undocumented and way under estimated. But, for some reason, isn't playing in the MSM is it? Wonder why that is?
So now we come to the same old tired argument of just how many need to die? And, what if it were your family member?
1) Why didn't we ask the same questions in previous years? It is obvious everyone was accepting of flu deaths because no one ever shut down the economy for the flu before. My family members can die from any number of things with a higher probability of doing so than covid. I ain't gonna live in fear of this. 2) In any health crisis, we would isolate and quarantine the sick, not the healthy. (And not just sort of quarantine, like we have now) How does quarantining the healthy, and those who are the least vulnerable help stem the tide of the virus? a) let me answer that last question for you. It doesn't help if the healthy are being asked to stay inside with the sick. 3) I know personally 2 people who have had it, and I only know of someone who knew someone died.

The liberal mind is an endless black hole of stupidity.

Looks like the little guy nailed it

On Chinese social media on January 8 there was a posting about it. In fact there was a lot of posting in January, February, and March. They were quickly censored. It made the Chinese government look incompetent. If a student picked them up, CIA must have. So you can take the warning date as of January 8. All around the world, governments were slow to react. And pretty incompetently, too. How many ramped up PPE in January ? , or even February ? It's not like they hadn't seen it before, remember SARS in 2003 ? It was much more lethal, but not nearly as contagious. It, too, came out of a Chinese wet market. When will the Chinese learn, I guess stupidity and greed go hand in hand. In South Korea and Taiwan you saw everybody in masks. They had experienced SARS, too.
In 1957 the Asian flu killed 200,000 Americans. Our population was only 177,000,000 in 1957. That's the same death rate as 186,000 deaths from Corona in 2020.
And they didn't kick 40,000,000 people (according to the figures today) out of work!
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
The Corona-Virus is a totally new virus; it hasn't been seen before.
You can not prove that statement.
It's called a novel Corona Virus for a reason:
From the CDC: "What is a novel corona virus? "A novel corona virus is a new corona virus that has not been previously identified. The virus causing corona-virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is not the same as the corona viruses that commonly circulate among humans and cause mild illness, like the common cold.
