Just wait until they do postmortem testing and reclassify half those deaths as Covid deaths

Don't forget people putting off cancer screenings, or ignoring a lump in their neck, for fear of a cough with a less than 1% mortality rate.

This situation needs to end

Sounds like the patients themselves are choosing to put off treatment because they're scared of infection. Seems like you're trying to make it sound like a poilicy was created that denied treatment to non-COVID patients.

There is going to be a lot of starving people in third world countries now that the first world doesn't have a ton of food and money to send to them.

Lots of effects from the shutdown that are unintended.

Couldn’t the quoted text mean that only the most ill are going to the hospital, causing a rise in mortality because they aren’t watered down with milder illnesses as patients that are likely to recover?

I find it hard to believe people are getting heart attacks and electing to tough it out at that high a rate.

Do you have an actual number? What does 41% equate to?

So wait all the people on this board that want to open the economy up ASAP, and said things like "it is just killing the old people and unhealthy ones" But now it is supposedly killing those at a higher rate and it is a bad thing?
I am not following this.
