Fauci thinks that 100,000 to 200,000 will die from the virus. Sounds horrible. But according to the CDC 2,813,503 died last year. Here are the numbers:
So 3 million will die instead of 2.8 million. This is bad, but not the apocalypse.
Fauci also said that the death rate was similar to the flu. If so, that means 100 million to 200 million Americans will get it.
I support the shutdown, but it has to stop sooner rather than later. If efforts are being made to reduce the mask shortage and we can all have masks, then the shutdown can end.
