When it really happens: SHTF...

Ovidio,

I've been starting to wonder the same thing. I ran some numbers today and as of right now, this mass panic is actually affecting 65 out of 100,000 people in my state. .065% of the population and because of that, we are in near complete lockdown. The death rate of those 65 out of 100,000 is 1.2%. Granted, it could be a lot worse if we were no in lockdown. California is the huge question mark. While New York burns, California is sitting there with four times the population of Pennsylvania and just slightly more total cases and total deaths than we have. And they started later than we did if I'm not mistaken. They are also the first place most Chinese land when arriving in the States. Word is that even the few children who have died were grossly overweight. The hospital ship that sailed with great fanfare into NY harbor has a grand total of 20 patients. And when you compare the estimated death number here of 100,000-200,000 and compare it to heart disease which kills 650,000 a year it makes you wonder. Add another 140,000 for lower respirator deaths and you have 740,000 deaths a year. And this virus is possibly simply killing that 740,000 off a few months or weeks before they would have died anyway. Not trying to make light of it but it's making me question.
