Ajax, 99.94 of what you posted is pure BS.
I've run the numbers, and your estimate is a little low.

He's weird and cultish.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Ajax, 99.94 of what you posted is pure BS. You seem to be pulling it from Trump's ass rather than the medical literature. So, let’s start with the easiest stuff: link a source for the survivability rate and your figure for the percentage of infected people who are truly asymptomatic.
Xanax,

Here's a long and detailed video explaining Covid-19 infection rates, how the virus is spread, and how masks and social distancing are effective measures against the virus:

Report from the front lines in Appalachia. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1332 ... 99424.html It’s not pretty, and the people there have been badly misled.

Another report from a doc on the front lines. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1332 ... 07233.html

When I start crying, it's time to stop reading.

Like most people we had to modify one of our normal traditions which is getting together with neighbors to share left over pies and the like this year. But we did take some time to reach out to one another to chat. One of our neighbors' adult son is a nurse and she had quite the stories to share that are disheartening. Nothing one doesn't hear in the news but it hits a little closer when someone you know is sharing an experience of family being in denial their mother is dying of Covid and accusing the hospital of making it up so they could claim more money. Apparently she passed away Friday. Stories of people being put in comfort care because there aren't reasonable expectations they will live and beds/staff resources are thin. Nurses sharing gallows humor jokes about one of them unluckily catching Covid right before a vaccine is available being akin to a soldier getting shot hours before an armistice is signed. You know. 1st world problems.

Japan has a little over 1/3 the population of the US. Saturday we had more new cases than Japan. Has had since the pandemic began.

Don't try and tell me this virus is uncontrollable. Too many countries have successfully controlled it.

Of course it's controllable.
