What would Ben Franklin have to say??

The 2018/ 19 flu season saw around 35,000 die. My friend was one. Most people who have health issues are more susceptible. What we must also remember we have a vaccine and meds for the flu, without them the rate of incidents would be higher. However many still dont take the vaccine, get sick and pass it to others.
The Corona virus has killed I think about 12,000 in this country so far. What some still refuse to believe and I honestly feel its political views behind this is that COVID 19 is more contagious, more deadly than the flu. Living were I do I know people who are sick with COVID 19. When I see a healthy 40 year old sick in bed, so weak after almost two weeks, I can attest to just how bad it is to come down with this virus.
What again some refuse to acknowledge is with 12000 dead, after we have literally shut down the country, what in Gods name would have happened if we didn't?
In just two months ago how many died from the virus in America?
Thats how contagious it is and. the facts are its spreading to more rural parts of the country.
Ive said this over and over, educate yourself, dont take for absolute truth any one media news outlet.
There are people in this country would have made it their lives work dealing with things like were going through now, see what they saw.
As i. type this my wife just told me another person we know is hospitalized with corona.
Hospitals are filled to capacity, staff are beyond exhausted.
My daughter in law works in finance for a hospital, they asked her to work as a transporter just to help out.
I live in NY people are dyeing at incredible rate, morgues are out of space and bodies are in refrigerated trucks. The dead cant be buried fast enough.
Now I heard the city wants to temporaliy bury the dead on Hart island.
Please be safe, dont downplay this virus or write it off as a flu.

I would submit to you we'll never know the true total... except to say it's probably less than will be reported. Of course "what if" will be the eternal argument. The other side of that coin is "when will" we return to normal? Is there a metric of deaths you consider acceptable? Since a human being can actually go at least a week without food, and most people have some in their home, why are we keeping grocery stores open? Apparently we are willing to accept some level of risk. Has their been a debate and an election in which we determine the risk adversity of candidates?

Just some thoughts for you to debate.
 
Your right and we should, but we aren't going to do a F-ing thing!
Have faith my friend. There’s more of us out there than them - we just go about our lives with quiet dignity and don’t throw tantrums on tv. This is definitely gonna be a “lead - follow - or get out of the way” situation. Thank god we have a real leader...
 
China engineered COVID 19 to get back at Trump? Ri

Unfortunately I do know the truth as I live in the new once again ground zero, and this time its a virus. That truth is in one instance if this virus gets much worse doctors in hospitals here will have to make choices of what patient gets a vent and what patient does not. Hopefully we are reaching the time that the cases start to decline, however they still are in the hundreds every day and until they at least get to lower double digits or single digits we cant let our guard down
I dont consider any number of deaths acceptable but the reality is we both know thats not going to happen.
There is always risk Carmine, we both know we cant get around that. The best we can do is lower the risk as much as possible.
I notice you live in the Detroit area, please be safe and be careful.
