And, newsflash, if you could somehow wave a magic wand and make it so everyone who was going to die in 2020 died in the same few weeks in 2020 THAT WOULD INCREASE THE DEATH RATE Because you'd overwhelm the medical system for everyone else

You guys are stupid. I’m asking to see an increase in the normal rate of death from respiratory illness, which is already lethal. People die everyday, it’s sad. Why does it suddenly warrant shutting down half the economy? No answers, just mainstream media regurgitation.

… 2,000 people have died from this in the US in the last 48 hours. Are you claiming that’s a normal death rate?https://mobile.twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/1244035891284381696 …
Garlax, The Weasel King added,
Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonkJust in: Confirmed#COVID19 deaths in the US doubled over the past two days, surpassing 2,000 as of today (Saturday). To put this in context: It took a month from the first death to hit 1,000. It took 48 hours to go from 1,000 deaths to 2,000+. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/03/28/coronavirus-latest-news/#link-ROOWQYO62VDT7EMYCQSFAI7IAE …1 reply 0 retweets 13 likes -

2,000 people did not die in 2 days. That’s the total. A person in the US dies every 12 seconds. If we have tested a million people, and it tells us that 10% test positive, an that’s true for everyone, then every 2 minutes (120 seconds) someone is dying with coronavirus.pic.twitter.com/Qk8k2MjCM1

Yeah, I did misread. My bad. It’s a thousand people dying from it in 48 hours. Which is a lot. It means that in two days the death count doubled. The doubling time is going to keep getting shorter if we don’t head this off. Which we aren’t as things stand.

I don’t see the evidence justifying an economic shut-down. It’s executive overreach. What of I told you that people who are dying are going to be incinerated, no viewing, no funeral, because people don’t want to leave quarantine. This isn’t Italy. Do you care?

The fuck is "This isn't Italy" supposed to mean You think Americans are genetically healthier than Italians? You think our healthcare system is better, that we have some miraculous American resilience that they don't

best non-racist explanations are: our median age is younger and/or there are more people here, so it's fewer deaths per capita. we're still fucked tho as we're barely trying to stop it.

Yeah well we had a 17-year-old kid here die already because he was uninsured Median population age matters a lot less when you have much greater wealth inequality and inequality of access to the medical system
