And where would the numbers be if we did nothing. Where would the hospitals be? Where would your family members be? It’s easy when it’s not you and yours. It’s easy to criticize without all the info. So are we thinking the government is all for making their sweet deal all rocky and uncertain and tossing out all that free income they got from us? Really, so are we saying that if you owned a business you could try to screw up and it just kept shoving money down your throat reguardless that you would be inclined to wreck that so you have more control? So send your employees and customers packing but keep sending them checks and helping other companies with your money and this is going to get you control?

ya I think the government did this on purpose, makes sense. 

Where will we all be when unemployemnt is 20+ percent?

AZ population 7,286,000

275 Covid Deaths

0.0000377436% death rate ( % of population dying in AZ)

So let's say we didn't do anything, no social distancing, no business closures...and the deaths in AZ were 100 times higher (27,500 deaths)

That would be a death rate of 0.0037743618 in AZ... not even 1%!

COVID-19 isn't even close to being in the top 10 for causes of deaths in AZ

 

When we are in an economic depression the suicide. alcoholism, drug addiction and murder rate will sky rocket....but we won't have that darn COVID with its 98% survival rate!!!

The old saying, often attributed to Mark Twain, goes: "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics."

This article has an interesting graphing showing COVID-19 deaths per day compared to other major causes of death per day.

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/04/the-rapid-increase-of-u-s-coronavirus-deaths-in-one-graphic.html

The graph is animated and the date is in the lower right.  Looks like it was last updated on 4/28.

Any day more than 1774 people die of COVID-19 in a day, COVID-19 is the leading cause of death for that day.  As of this typing, we're at 1846 deaths and the day is not over yet (but will be soon because they go by GMT).

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

If you don't want to go by day and just by total deaths, consider that approximately 58,220 Americans died in the Vietnam War in a roughly ten year stretch (approx. '65-'75).  Well, in the four months COVID-19 has been with us, as of this typing, 61,112 Americans have died of COVID-19.  Despite our best efforts to stop it.

I've not seen any evidence that this is a government hoax.  And I can't see how such a hoax would benefit anyone, including our elected leaders. 

I understand it's frustrating to curtail our activities and this is having a huge economic cost.  I also understand that the chances of dying from it if one contracts it is in the 1 to 2 % range.  But I also understand that those that die from it are not statistics, they are people.  People with family and friends that loved them.  Couple that with the recent evidence suggesting that the virus might be airborne longer than we thought, it seems that being careful is the prudent thing to do.

Gov Douchebag just extended the stay at home order!  I seriously hope he gets the Corona! What an A$$

[Redman]

Now extended to May 15- 

[KoosCrazy]

It’s not the government place To dictate our choices.  People should have been educated and given the option to stay home.  It’s my choice if I want to participate in a social function, not the government.  This is way bad and is our first big step towards socialism.  We have been headed that way just look at how schools are run, total Socialism bring the top kids to be Average.  
 

Government is getting away with it, WHATS NEXT!!!???

half of those deaths are in 3 areas. New York, New Jersey and New Orleans. Why are the rest of us subject to economic disaster?

And the whole "vietnam war" comparison liberals have been parroting the last few days is BS.

the VAST majority of those COVID deaths are old people, many in nursing homes or those with other problems that weaken the immune system. War deaths almost all healthy, young men in a very dangerous situation, but able to defend themselves with deadly force. 

less than 1% of the world population has been infected. Most have no symptoms. Most get over it. Some don't. We have lost 27 million US jobs so far. 1 million have have been infected. 

150,000 per people die around the world, on average, everyday. For a myriad of reasons. We don't stop the world. Everyone will die. Death is undefeated (well...there is Keith Richards...but still)

 

FYI - not one politician has missed a SINGLE paycheck this year. That's why they don't care how long its locked down. If their pay was being stopped, it would be open tomorrow.

On this, you and I agree.

[muledeerarea33?]

Speaking out of turn and out of my A$$! But why aren’t American made products manufactured, and processed in America? I’m finding lots of goods made here, tested here, but manufactured  overseas. Even meat! Why grow a chicken in the US and process in China?? Unless I’m wrong and got a bad news source, this is happening!!
