It is dumb. In the USA Corona deaths @ 150 so far while flu deaths @ 34K/year. Even Swine Flu had 4K deaths and MSM didn't bat an eye. Italy proving single payer socialized medicine has less talented clinicians and administration.

So here is a legitimate question:

At some point a few months from now, IF you are proven tragically wrong; what action will you undertake?

Apologize and review your assumptions and outlook for all future circumstances?

Or, as I suspect, pretend you never posted this and create a revisionist history of what your thoughts, opinions and stances were?

The first sentence indicates ignorance of math / timescales; second one indicates ignorance of other places; and I'll be genuinely curious if there is any way facts will ever penetrate, or whether you will find some way to rewrite history of your opinions in the future :-/

Guarantee you deaths will be less than swine flu deaths. But you will just say it's because of our amazing response, the same response being treated by MSM as inadequate. Just remember it was the Democrats/MSM willing to go scorched earth on the economy to push this pandemic narrative.
You can stick your guarantees ... somewhere. Nobody cares about them.
