if you want the deaths the media reports go here

if you want the actual covid deaths, which i still suspect are inflated, go here

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

All of those numbers are inflated. The CDC told hospitals to classify all Covid, flu, and pneumonia deaths as Covid deaths. The hospitals make more money that way. We'll never know how many Covid deaths there truly were, but you know it's less than the high numbers they're reporting to keep the unnecessary fear mongering going.

Everything has been operating without a vaccine for aids/HIV either....

Nobody in the history of Earth has been accidentally butt ****ed, but a lot have been coughed or sneezed on/around. That’s a terrible comparison.

That being said, you can’t wait for a vaccine that may or may not come. You don’t get herd immunity by staying home. Ramp up testing/tracing, wash your hands, respect people’s space, and live your life.

I loathe how political this has become. If this were happening in 2018 as opposed to 2020 I’d imagine the stance taken by many would be different.

100% BK, Nailed it.

I agree with a lot of that BK.

And it was the worst comparison ever.

Pretty sure the death toll numbers are inflated some. Didn't someone die of a stroke or heart attack but had traces of Covid-19 so they ruled the death from that.

According to what I've found out their are some hospitals paying more money for their employees to record a death of natural causes as covid-19 to inflate the numbers up

[jr29]

I don't doubt that there are cases of hospitals putting out phony test results. I don't think it's widespread though.

According to this in 2017 the US had 7,708 deaths on average a day. 7708 x 60 is 462,480. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6826a5.htm

All about getting funding.

When did America become so selfish? We are quickly heading towards 100,000 deaths in 2 months from Covid-19. I want racing back just as bad as any other person but to me life and death is more important than some summer nationals race in July in Illinois.

Freedom is such a selfish thing????

So the Florida beaches getting invaded has resulted in no deaths, you know CNN and the usual cohorts would be there making it 24/7 news if there one sick person.

Yes COVID is a little worse than a severe flu, but to most it is not. There are people that get infected that do not even get sick.

[WildBill32]

The numbers are very much inflated... Try and find the numbers of how many deaths have happened since this China viras started in the USA of people who of died from the Flu Heart attacks ect. They are no were to be found... I will wait... People want there freedoms back! Life & libertys and the right to assemble. It's time to get back to life as we once new it. And it's time to get back to Dirt Track Racing as well. Imo...

[Clayton_Wetters]

We are gonna zoom past 100,000 deaths I believe.

I want to go racing in a big, big way. I'm not sure if packing the grandstands is the right way to do it though. We are gonna have to make some sacrifices for a while.

For how long, it's obvious that the Democrat governors are not going to let things get back to normal. They have changed the normal and intend to keep it that way.

I heard earlier this week that a girl went on spring break in Florida then went home to Mississippi and gave it to people in her church. One of the people died.
There you go.

If people don't demand an end to this lock down, there won't be no Summer Nationals. Illinois is a key state for this series and who sees them allowing racing to resume?

Tell that to California. They are racing all over this month.
