re: Dr. Anthony Fauci now says COVID-19 mortality rate closer to "very bad flu"

Never said it was a hoax. The media-driven panic is what is an embarrassment. I have no doubt people with compromised immunity systems, diabetics, extreme elderly are at risk. To completely shutdown society because of that is unwarranted. The numbers don’t support an action like this when we aren’t orders of magnitude worse than the other “pandemics” we’ve made it through the last decade or so. If we had this hysteria at the beginning of the H1N1 and the like the same posters would have been predicting the sky was going to fall then, too. Didn’t happen then. Not going to happen now.
