You can see the numbers there as easily as I can.


Are we really seeing the same numbers? Because where I see 47,000+ in regards to Italy, you seem to be seeing 4,700,000+.

Maybe not.

Where I see 4,000+ deaths, you seem to be seeing 0.

Where I see a matter of weeks and a rising number, you seem to be seeing 100 years and a dropping number.

The global economy hasn't been shut down. Don't be dramatic.


Why don't you tell the tens of millions of people who have lost their jobs in the last two weeks that and see how well that goes over?

We could talk to the billions who haven't instead.

I see 4,000 deaths in a country of 60 million people. More people die in Italy every year from natural causes. Let me knew when the deaths get into the hundreds of thousands. That's when I'll start to worry.

I see 4k deaths out of 47k cases in a matter of weeks.

The math isn't challenging.

How many of those are really caused by the chicom virus? Wasn’t that nursing home having other issues?
It's been reported that several cases around the nation have been called corona deaths by autopsy. Initially reported as heart attack, pneumonia, etc..

I can understand the pneumonia ones getting revised. The heart attack and stroke are probably more realistically corona as a contributing factor, more the straw that broke the camel's back and pushed the unwilling through death's door. "Underlying issues" are the major thing between having a cold and croaking.

Your point that the global economy has been shut down is made by billions of people who are still working?

My point is there are nearing 8 billion people on this planet. Of that number, less than 250,000 people have this disease after four months. We are shutting down businesses and entire industries for 250,000 people.

Your point was that we are shutting down the global economy. Here it is again in case you forgot:

Better than shutting down the global economy


Obviously, the billions still working say you're full of shite.

Or the people who haven't lost their jobs, but have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars out of their retirement, while being close to retirement or actually retired?

I'm not talking about slave labor in southeast Asia. I'm sure they're gainfully employed right now. I'm talking about the developed world.

Ok.

Talk to the billions outside of southeast Asia who are still employed. It makes no difference how you try to scam the numbers, you come out looking foolish.

Only if one has the foolish idea that total employment is the sole, determining factor of a healthy economy.

Honestly it’s easily below one percent of you think about how many people are testing positive with no symptoms in other countries.

You didn't say an unhealthy economy. You said it was a global shut down.

You're being an overly dramatic liberal about it, to be honest.
