US population is ~330 million. 330 million * .6 = 198 million people needing to be infected to reach herd immunity. Now let's say that it's a blanket .02% fatality rate, which we know is only true for the younger people. 198 million * .02 = 3.96 million deaths.
    198,000,000 x .0002 = 39,600. No wonder why you thought this was going to be the end of the world lol

        Every time I see his post I think of the song from R. E. M...........with him banging on the keyboard teaching us about arithmetic, state law and schooling everyone in art of debate.

        All the while that song blaring in the background turned up to eleven.

              Oh and lib McCarter while you are in the cupboard don't forget your seat belt and mask. The sky is falling you better hurry. For me, I take measures like washing my hands and not touching my face as was recommended by the sane virus experts. Other than that I fought a war as many others have to protect my freedom. That is spelled FREEDOM!!! I don't want whinny butt liberals telling me what to do

All of them the dumbest thing ive ever heard. I bet I touch my face 300 more times in those 8 hours than I ever have. Soon as I hit the door its gone

                  Masks are just to make folks feel good. Feel safe.

                        And some people shoot heroin and live. Then one day they OD and die.

                        Where do you come up with these awful comparisons ?

                          1% is .01. Think of it like pennies. .01 is 1 cent. Save up 100 of them little jokers and voila....you have $1.00

                            Disease is not killing a lot of people. It is killing some people. Many older unhealthy people. Many things cause people to die. Sure the disease is a problem and we should be cautious, but the Libs are making an election platform at of it pretending that they are protecting life, while the Reps are killing people and don't care. As usual, the left throws out their bull carp lies and the lib followers obey. I choose freedom as I said. I don't need anyone telling me how to live.

                              It's killed over 100,000. That's a lot to me.
                              And Icare a great deal for the older people in my family. I respect them enough to limit my activity around them and to wear a mask when I have to be around them. No one is telling me to. It's a choice I make because I care about these folks.
                              And I ain't listening to anything about the left throwing out lies and followers obeying. Not after the right keeps lining up with the president after his nonsense through this whole thing.

                                I don't think I was making a comparison. More a statement
                                2020 race count:
                                1/2 of an event
