DmonSlyr and his ilk are reason why the USA never got the spread of the virus under control. Also there was no national plan leadership put forward by the "war time" commander in chief.

In response to those who are in the camp of all the deaths should be laid at the doorstep of the WH, I listed links to those who OPPOSED his initial reactions and responses, calling them racist and xenophobic. Dismiss the source of the links if you wish, but read through the articles first, please.
To the initial topic, I too question the validity of the numbers. CDC sometime back posted on their website that only 6% of the deaths were actually from the virus, and the MSM was too quick to downplay their findings........why? Because they have an agenda. I also question the numbers for other reasons, one of them being the local papers posting the daily new cases and deaths...........yet the obituaries have never added up to the numbers they put in the papers.
Another reason is the local TV stations announce that the local hospitals "are at capacity, they are strained to the limit", then you dig deeper and research and see that they are at 15% capacity.............they announce that the local hospitals are short staffed, yet the same hospitals "furloughed" a large number of their staff, from nurses to phlebotomists, to some physicians...........there is a thin thin line between furlough and lay offs, either way, you cut the staff loose, and in the area, those staff are NOT going to stick around and go broke when they can move to other areas to support their families and make a living........and, the ones I know who kept working were constantly posting selfies of themselves at work....something I never did not even once during my time as a nurse. If you have time to take daily selfies, the patient load and acuity isn't as bad as you and the media are claiming.
Lastly, my wife went to work for a lab company in February, and during her orientation she noticed that company's intranet stated that they had started working on lab tests for the virus in November 2019. Kinda odd that an American company was already alerted to the presence of the virus that long before the CCP announced anything about it.
I wear a mask where I am required to, apparently I practiced social distancing before it was called that and don't get close to people anyway, I've had family members test positive for the virus, know people who have contracted it and either felt fine, felt a little achy, and one lady did end up on a ventilator. For some it can be serious or even fatal, but for the overwhelming majority of people, they survive.
For those who want to call me cold or heartless, my wife is in the high risk category, she has cardiac issues, some diminished lung function from the bypass surgery, and other factors that place her squarely in the category of high risk. She says, and I quote, "I'd rather live my life, than sit around scared of something that might or might not make me sick or kill me, and let life pass me by." My attitude is the same...........each of us has a finite amount of time on this rock we live on, I intend to live my life to the fullest, too many other things that are more likely to cause my death than the virus.
Your mileage my vary.........................
