Somehow we weathered that storm without destroying our economy.US death toll for COVID still under 100 (more than half of which from a cluster of nursing homes in Washington state), reported cases under 5,000 (let’s speculate 100k unreported). Meanwhile we’re plunging our country into a depression. Great work, chicken littles. AP: Coronavirus Shutdown Threatens JobsInstead of just calling you a rough ridin' idiot, let me expand a bit.Let's just use your 60 Million number infected with 12,000 deaths. That expands out to a .02% mortality rate. COVID-19 has been reported to have between a 1-3% mortality rate.If we hit the same amount of infected people that is between 600,000-1,800,000 deaths with the same amount of infected people, with no vaccine. So while you are a giant dumbass, that really doesn't do it justice. You are a legit rough ridin' idiot.Oh ok - it’s been ”reported!” Let’s take the current US numbers. Yes, 81 out of 4,500 is 1.8%. But do you really honestly believe only 4,500 have been infected? You must realize the real number of infections - the vast majority of which are so mild they will likely never be confirmed - is likely many, many times greater than that. Which is the whole freaking point.But do you really honestly believe only 4,500 have been infected?No, there are many multitudes more than what have been reported, which makes it even worse.You must realize the real number of infections - the vast majority of which are so mild they will likely never be confirmed - is likely many, many times greater than that.Yeah, and guess what you rough ridin' idiot, many of those people are unknowingly spreading it. They are seeing their grandparents and interacting with MANY others who actually are in danger.I mean it doesn't surprise me that you can self own yourself, but the extent to which you are is absolutely incredible.So... first you cite a “reported” death rate of 1-3%. Next you backtrack and basically agree that the death rate will in all likelihood be much much lower. And finally you concede that this death rate is highly concentrated among a certain high risk demographic. Good, so at least we’re in basic agreement on that.So all we really disagree about is whether this is worth driving the country into a depression over. For that I would encourage you to seek some perspective. However grim, you might consider all the other hazards in life for people over 70 or with serious medical issues for which we don’t shut down businesses, lay off millions, and implode the markets.Read this. https://issuesinsights.com/2020/03/16/panic-never-helped-any-pandemic-and-wont-start-now/

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
