It's the infection rate, the incapacitate rate. STOP FOCUSING ON DEATH TOLL.
The infection rate has not been shown to be any worse than that of the influenza virus.
You can't have a functioning Society if half the population is sick.
Yet, so far only 1,215 have gotten sick out of a population of 308 million. Long odds eh?
The Economy slows, then as the sickness spreads, the Economy slows even more.
The economy is slowing over the hysteria created by douchebags in the media. Claiming that 1,215 cases should cause the massive slowdown we are seeing is beyond stupid.
You can do NOTHING and this will pass in a year or two, or you can ACT and try to mitigate this to 3 months.
How are we not acting? Again, you pontificate dumb strawmen.
You pretend to know something about capitalism and the stock market, buy a clue, how is Wall Street reacting?
It's not a pretense. You're the dipshit who pretends every damned day. Wall Street is reacting irrationally, as are most leftist douchebags as a result of the hysteria promoted by a PHONY media who does not inform, but rather promotes lie filled narratives intended to prop up a failed Socialistic agenda.
This is already passing as a massive HOAX conducted by globalist hacks like WHO would would like to see a one world solution that is intent on destroying Western Capitalism. It is working in Europe but so far, not in America.
More bad news for leftist hacks; the market will be recovering and the economy will continue booming back due to the shortages created by this HOAX well before November thus leading to another four years for Trump.
Jack, you haven't been right yet. At some point, even a simpleton like you begins to wake up.
