The big deal isn't the rate of death, but the rate of contagion.The big deal is the fact that it is so contagious.

Some scientists and virologists are now saying that people cannot build immunity to it without exposure. The "herd immunity" we're hearing about.
They say that lockdown is the opposite of what we should do.

I don't think we will actually know what the best route, solution or prevention is for a long time.

sadly its turning into more of a political talking point than anything. Can't just do whats best for the country, state, county, or city, these yahoos have to turn it into something for their benefit. not that I would expect anything less from a politician.

this was their big push no matter who got in office, they were planning on hillary. . This has been in the works for years, its been roll played for years. There was/is a 16 year plan to destroy America. Obama the first 8 , hillary the second 8. They never thought shed lose. How many coincidences will it take.

This is Gods way of showing man that he is just not in control. The best “man” has is just a speculation, just trial and error. As in many situations, mans decisions just don’t work out that well. We are often blinded by our self proclaimed omnipotence.

Here's my slightly educated outlook of it:
It's a virus. W/out a vaccine, it has to run it's course. Quarantine will slow it down so EMS & hospitals aren't inundated all @ once but will do nothing to stop it. It has to run it's course. Everybody will get it. Some will not be affected, some will get some sickness signs/symptoms from it & some will die from it (sounds just like the flu, right?). It has to run it's course & everybody WILL get it. Numbers will continue to drop & we'll remove the quarantine. Once we remove the quarantine, a couple weeks later we'll have another spike due to those that didn't get it the first go-round. The rest of the population will get it & that'll last a few weeks & scare the crap out of most sheeple. The those numbers will drop drastically & drop quickly. THEN we'll say it's run it's course. Like the flu, it'll come back next year but by then there will be a vaccine (which I will not take just like I don't do the flu shot. Haven't had a flu shot it 10 years & haven't had the flu in 10 years.)
As of now (the first wave, if you will) C-19 has killed ~22K people. The flu last year (2017-18 flu season) killed ~80K people (though the CDC says it's tough to give an actual number). I feel we won't hit 50K from C-19. I also believe it is man-made but not released on purpose.
This is my 'prediction' & I'll eat crow if I'm wrong but this is the same outlook I've had about it since early March & it's all ringing true thus far.
Cliff notes;
It's over-hyped, everyone in the world will get it, some won't know they got it, some will get a little sickly from it, some will die from it, it has to run it's course, it's no worse than the flu, it'll be back next year.

COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus, is officially 10 times deadlier than the H1N1 swine flu strain that ripped across much of the world in 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed Monday.

On Monday the WHO confirmed COVID-119 is 10 times deadlier than the H1N1 swine flu strain.

The only way to truly halt the spread is a vaccine, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a briefing from Geneva.

More than 1.8 million people have been infected so far worldwide, and at least 115,000 have died.'

“Evidence from several countries is giving us a clearer picture about this virus, how it behaves, how to stop it and how to treat it,” Tedros said. “We know that COVID-19 spreads fast, and we know that it is deadly – 10 times deadlier than the 2009 flu pandemic.”

Don't quote WHO. They are not to be trusted.
