Most of us are going to get it over time. The good news is that the majority of us won't get very sick and will naturally get better. The better news is that once that happens, herd immunity kicks in and naturally controls it. The bad news is that many people will need the drugs and some will die. But that's flu season with slightly different numbers. And for those Leftie fear mongers: According to the news last night (so going by YOUR Leftie media numbers), the mortality rate is 1.42% in the U.S. We are grossly underreporting cases - partly because lack of testing, mostly because people are naturally fighting it off. Therefore the 1.42% is much lower. Experts say by a factor of 7. That puts the mortality rate at 0.2%. Far less than the WHO's number of 4%.

The longer this economic shutdown continues, the more small businesses that will not come back. ....
