Why are scenarios being presented that show outcomes if we do nothing.....by my estimation it appears we are doing a freaking lot. I mean hell the streets of Crowley, LA look like a damn ghost town. People complain about everything but in spite of complaining it seems most people are doing what they are told.

Most people have been sufficiently scared shitless....the control over them is there no need to beat this dead horse with wild made up scenarios. Now if the people that don't heed the warning die....so be it.

Lift restrictions by July. The death toll might be just as high from suicides and violence.

It is because of this report that we are doing something.

This report gives the justification for the extreme measures. Even moderate measures lead to millions of deaths. That is the point.

If everyone embraces this attitude, people you know and care about will die from this.

That is what this seems to say. Lets be real, even a few weeks of shut down may do irreparable harm to our nation. Anything more than that is simply not worth the cost.

I mean compared to what some of the other countries have done, we are taking a very delayed approach to dealing with this and allowing business owners to ignore recommendations from the CDC, as well as local, state, & federal governments.

And it would be their own fault. The government needs to stop protecting us from ourselves. If we go out, we know the risk, its called risk for a reason.

Scientists universally agree that there will be millions of deaths! Don’t deny science! Coincidentally the only way to stop it is to give the government more money and power!

Everybody is already dying. Just a matter of time.

The young people don't care about the old being culled off by viruses and the old don't care about the young being culled off from drug addiction and over dose.

Thinning of the herd. Those that are left will make better choices. For a while then the world will do it all again.

We have:

And we need:



So it's not really going to work any way. It's basically kicking the can down the road while imploding the economy to do so.
