Think of this as a time of war. I know you guys are ok with everything falling apart and then rebuilding as long as guns and stuff are involved.

Yep. World War II brought us out of the Great Depression. The response to COVID-19 may have caused one. That remains to be seen.

Unless you brought your own bags. Then you have to bag your own groceries.

(saw that on a sign in Kroger's earlier today)

The numbers aren't good. But I just don't agree with these it's not the flu.

We battle the flu every year. Imagine how bad the flu would be and the different strains would be if people weren't constantly creating new vaccines a couple of times a year.

DR Fauci just said to expect at least 100,000 deaths in the US.

Trump says we are in for a very difficult 2 weeks.

Don’t worry the duke. Just stay sheltered and let the men do the work. You stay safe with the women. We will tell you when your weak body can emerge.

First off, horseshite.

Secondly, this is the most overblown thing I've ever seen in my lifetime. You death cultists want to make it a thing so bad.

Probably as bad as it used to be when humanity got by without vaccines. People died from disease all the time and yet here we all are.

That’s 2,500 deaths a day

So roughly 148k fewer than die everyday regardless

This thing has not even come close to peaking yet,

eh, I'd say it's close to peaking a lot of places depending on your definition of close. I think it will peak here in the next couple of weeks. If you look at the case percentage increases each day, those have been trending down already

You have the option to lock yourself in your house and starve to death if you like.

An economy will eventually bounce back because it’s a perpetual macrocosm. People’s lives, their families, their businesses, and their retirements are not.

Exactly, the majority dying from this would have died decades ago.
