I have a question, everyone who has read my posts on this covid-19 action knows my stance... a serious overreaction, and I still stand by that opinion. I have a question for both those that share the same opinion as I have and those that don't. I will start with a statement before I ask the question.
The WHO (world health organization) estimates that 250,000 - 500,000 people die "EACH" year from the influenza virus we encounter year after year, and keep in mind this is something we have vaccines and treatments in place for, and it affects primarily the same age group as the covid-19 is especially fatal to, yet the world goes on, the economy for the most part goes unaffected by it.
Somewhere between 20,000 - 60,000 people die in our own country from the influenza virus each year with same treatments, from same age group primarily and the world goes on as stated in first listed above.
So far less than 9000 people have died world wide from covid-19 including places and countries that have seen the virus at such a unprecedented extreme scale and the world economy is on one of its worst downfalls
So far a little more than 100 people have died in our country, most of which occurred under one roof in the state of Washington, and our economy once strong has TANKED and the worse is yet to come according to officials, I think we are headed to an economic downfall that we as individuals and as a country are not prepared for and am afraid how far it will go.
We are whether you like it or not desocializing society which will have its own ramifications that we yet know as to what extent and to what extreme it will go.
Looking at what I have stated above I want those that think this is an overreaction and those that think we are doing the right thing to think about the question I am about to ask and to rsespond without bashing or criticizing one anothers opinion. I also want to state that as an society death should never become accepted or ignored. Here is my question.
Lets say that in the end 50,000 people die world wide or even 100,000 and lets say fatalities fall way short on our soil of what the influenza virus kills each and every year. How do react from here on out? as the flu virus comes back each year and on average kills 200,000 people world wide, what do we do? do we act as we are? if we don't are we putting a closed eye at the inevidable ? I still think this is an overreaction and am curious for those that think the same or don't think how we should approach flu season next year.
