You don’t have a clue how many Chinese have died. Neither do I, nor does anybody else...except the Chinese.

Where are you getting your information about the completely healthy adults of all ages with no underlying health condition that are being killed by it?
https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus
If the case fatality rate for those without any preexisting health conditions is just 0.9%, multiplied by the 240,000 projected deaths in the USA...that’s 2,160 completely healthy adults of all ages with no underlying health conditions...dead. To think that completely healthy people (of all ages) with no underlying health conditions are somehow immune to being killed by this virus is simply not true.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
