The Mortality rate as of 6/18 for people under 60 years of age in the U.S. is 0.1%. The exact same as the seasonal flu.

THIS. I just don’t understand what all of the hiding is about. It’s like being told the breeze is toxic and then trying to avoid it. It’s freaking impossible.

121,000 deaths is .00037 of the US population. So what about the remaining
99.99+ percent? What do you alarmists want to do about us? Should we all be regulated to the point where we lose our jobs, cars, homes? Should we all become hermits because that is what
YOU want? Should we wait until CNN and Fauci think it is safe for all of us who are too stupid to think for ourselves?
Tell me what good hiding from this virus is going to do as the so called "experts" can't tell us when this bs will end. The damn virus is nowhere near as deadly as they said and there are obviously many people walking around with Covid-19 who have few or no symptoms at all.
Tell us oh great all knowing one. Tell us what to do.

from Scientific American
This article gives a balanced discussion of some of the many difficulties in collecting good data on COVID-19 deaths -- some that could cause overestimates and some that would include underestimates. It uses excess mortality as a way of estimating likely COVID-19 deaths, and the conclusion is that (as of the date of publication) COVID-19 deaths are likely being undercounted overall.
The article addresses some really interesting issues with using excess mortality in this way, including the fact that some excess deaths during COVID-19 can be attributed to non-COVID causes like heart disease in people who may have been too worried about COVID to go to the hospital. Other causes of death, like car accidents, have actually decreased during the pandemic.
As a general comment, I think balancing public risk of deaths from COVID against the very real economic impacts of shutting down all or part of the economy to be a serious, complicated question about which well-meaning people can disagree. What I don't understand are the people who are most insistent on opening the economy quickly also refusing to follow simple guidance that will make that possible: wear a mask, socially distance, and wash your hands.

Because this was supposed to be a 2 to 3 week pause so the health "experts" to get a grip on this so called pandemic. It has turned into a political scheme to harm the economy for political purposes. Some of you are sheep and believe the nonsense even though the percentages do not warrant the extreme measures being forced on the country.
That is why.

I know and have spoken to many doctors, both male and female, and they all seem to agree that while COVID is a real thing, it’s not nearly as bad as people want you to believe.

If we can't agree that there are actual health experts and an actual pandemic, it's probably the case that we won't agree on much. Same for viewing mask-wearing, social distancing, and hand-washing as extreme measures.
The article below might interest those who argue that the flu is comparable to COVID as far as risk is concerned. It might be that one reason for this is the comparison of deaths from each isn't really apples to apples.
COVID is worse than the flu.

I will rely on what I know about human nature. If you get paid $25g to say the sky is blue, or $100g to say it's green, most humans are gonna scream that it's green. I am convinced the death count is inflated. The media which is 95% liberal and very influential on public opinion, has a huge stake in keeping this "crisis" alive and well until at least election day.

With these people the numbers aren't even the numbers, im sorry about your cousin.....as far as these idiots, if it's frick me, you know it's frick you

The funny thing about it all is that they will be fine. Cough and low grade fever for about 2 weeks and that’s it! My whole damn family has had it. This country has gone completely insane!

I have had it smartass. I was tested because of work and came back positive. I felt a little fatigue like I needed some sleep and ran a low fever for a day and a half. That's it.
My son got it and had no ill effects at all. He was only tested because of me.
All you alarmists ignore true numbers and focus on a total number of deaths (which I believe to be false) and don't want to hear anything that disputes your doomsday wish and scenario.
This virus is nowhere near as fatal as we were led to believe.

Ah, we are on to something here. Now you dumbass Democrats want to blame President Trump when he is the one who wanted to ban travel from China and your Democrat heroes bitched and complained. BUT WHO WAS RIGHT?
Also President Trump has attempted to control illegal immigration and control our borders. You Democrat heroes have fought him 100%. I wonder how many Corona Virus cases came into the US because we have uncontrolled borders which REQUIRE QUARANTINE prior to entry into the US by legal immigrants. Where were you on this my Democrat genius? ONCE AGAIN WHO WAS RIGHT?
Now you stupid MOFOS want to cripple the economy with your stupid Quarantining of everybody indefinitely. There is no vaccine for Covid-19 so we just stop living to make you and your fellow whiners feel better? The truth is that the original objective was to simply quarantine for 2 to 3 weeks in order to allow Hospitals to catch up and "Flatten The Curve". SCREW YOU AND YOUR COMMUNIST PALS. If you choose to sit in your basement and pick your nose then you do it but you and your Democrat Party made up of various misfits can shove it. WHO IS THE ONE WHO IS TRULY FOLLOWING THE LEADER? YOU.

Rob, I have said since day 1 this has been a huge overreaction due to politics. I agree with you the mortality rate is way lower than the narrative. Just think of how many more people like you and your son had it, recovered, but DIDN'T go to the doctor. This points to a significant UNDERCOUNTING of cases and recoveries.

Seasonal flu isn't .1% mortality rate. It's closer to .01%, roughly ten times lower. And those numbers are primarily old people with pre existing conditions. It does vary by year.
