Not only that. When you look at the data, you can see that a quarter of the deaths are people with three or more pre-existing conditions. A fourth of them have two pre-existing conditions. And a fourth have one pre-existing condition. Only 1% had no pre-existing conditions.

So unless you have pre-existing conditions, you have about 1 in 100,000 chances of the virus killing you. Far less than the flu. That means you are in way more danger driving to the grocery store.

And those who have pre-existing conditions are always in danger from any microbe, and any other year, they might be listed as victims of tuberculosis, lung cancer, heart disease..... This year they would be called victims of COVID-19. As of now, thats 8,500 people in the US.

The flu killed 80,000 people in 2018. The CDC said there were more than 2 million deaths from all causes, except suicide in the US in 2019. We didn't shut the nation down. Get the picture? We have shut down the country for nothing. Call your reps now and tell them to end the shutdown.
