Facts, there is a 98.5%+ survival rate. Over 33% of the poplulation has already contracted it, and no issues. This virus will never run it's course with everyone hiding indoors (though many are filling up walmarts home depots, lowes, etc). Those in the high risk catagory need to be protected in some manner. Many are dying because they are not allowed to have other surguries completed due to fear.

Sorry to those that have lost someone, I also have a 89 y/o mother and other family members in a high risk catagory. But this fear mongering has got to end.

Well done video. People are more likely to listen, when the speaker is calm like this.

High risk category?
you mean the 25 to 50 year old doctors and nurses,
the 5 month old that passed away last week?
This virus is hitting all ages, everyone, everywhere.
Thankfully my 21/2 year old grand niece showed negative test results
her brother just went for his test this morning.

Yes, those in a high risk catagory. Elderly, diabeties, respitory issues, etc. Heck locally we just had a 98y/o overcome it. More people die each year from the flu. The worst part is, washing your hands often will do you wonders.

I know most are one side or the other, but you have people scared to death to go outside. Suicides have increased greatly since this started. People are having to sell their positions to pay bills. Millions have lost their jobs. Over something with a 98.5% survival rate. If you are in the scared catagory, please stay indoors. I'm glad my state is reopening.

The 2018-2019 flu season had 34,200 estimated deaths.

In less than 3 months, Covid-19 has claimed at least 27,674 deaths. Some estimates are as high as 55,729 deaths.

US only. So I would have to disagree that the flu kills more every year. That sounds like propaganda.

Since the CDC told all doctors to report all deaths that had any symptoms of wuhan, whether or not they tested positive or not, those death number are highly exagerated.

For flu deaths, various sites have different numbers. Some as high as 80K for the 18-19 season. For the 2019-2020 season they are already stating 62K deaths from the flu, that's from the CDC as well.

Everyone has different thoughts on this. I for one am seeing the trend with the WHO and others. As stated, I'm not saing it's not bad, I'm saying it's been overhyped.

No I'm not a doctor. Are you? You posted a video and ask for thoughts. I gave mine. Facts are out there for anyone to do their own research.

Many doctors has shown more proof this was overblown.

Never said I was one, as in doctor.
Don't get offensive.
Thanks for the reading material.
