Putting the world on hysterical deathwatch has been real good for the mainstream media...insert alt text here
"The Silverman and Washburne paper says the resulting fatality rate is 0.1%, similar to that of flu. That is amazingly low, just a tenth of some other estimates."
I knew we were hitting "peak farce" when I read an article about a 108 year-old woman who was mercilessly snatched away by KungFlu.

Let's face it... we've been punk'd...
"In harsher flu years, 60,000–80,000 American lives are lost, which is now looking quite comparable to COVID-19. How do we justify these annual war-like losses without drastically changing our daily routines as we have done now?"
It gets better... by which I mean worse...
Just ponder this for a moment: for every American citizen who has died tragically from COVID-19, 770 other American citizens have lost their jobs — and this sordid ratio will soon top 1,000.
Time to sack-up and get things moving again.
