Do they not matter? Is the rest of the country somehow immune?

NYC is densely populated.The number of deaths there are not reflective of how this virus will necessarily effect other less densely populated states.Decidions to open or not etc vary based on this. If these deaths thatvNYC has experienced were taking place in another state yet NYCwasn’t effected in the same way,should they have to close down as well?

The “experts” told us the death rate would be 3 percent.

That would have been a worst-case scenario where a large fraction of the population gets sick in a short time span, doctors and hospitals are totally overwhelmed, and there is not enough medicine and equipment to go around.

The 1918 flu killed about 2%, and today, in comparison, more Americans are overweight, have heart problems, diabetes, and asthma, not to mention the average age is higher… To me, this suggests that 3% is not implausible for a full-blown pandemic.

Perhaps our efforts at social distancing worked! (so far…)

You’ll see the current fatality rate in Michigan is 9%

Y’got me, Julian. I can’t count. Math has never been my forte. I’m embarrassed enough that I see the need to fold up my tent and depart in peace. God bless
