Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

It was a huge over-reaction that destroyed the greatest economy the US has ever had (by the numbers) - and the economic destruction that has been wrought because of the ridiculous mass hysteria and over-reaction and over-reach and abuse of government power is going to be far worse than the actual disease- which is deadly for the most part only to the old and immune-compromised. We're talking about something that is maybe 2x more deadly than the flu- something that only mildly affects 99.9% of the young and healthy. Newsflash: old people and the immune compromised die. It's a part of life. No one lives forever. This thing isn't wiping out the young and the mortality rate according to the CDC is .4%. So basically 2-4x worse than the flu. BFD. Get back to me when a disease has a mortality rate of 4%. Then it's a big deal. The kind of lock-downs that were implemented should've only been put in place for something that kills indiscriminately and has a high morality rate- like Ebola or something- which kills everyone equally and has a mortality rate in the 60%'s - not .4%.

What should've happened was the old and immune-compromised been quarantined and the rest of us go about business as normal for the most part. Maybe limit crowds and capacity, ask people to wear masks and wash their hands. Not shut down the entire world for months and wreck peoples lives.

And once again, Italy had the oldest population in the world- and many of them are smokers. The VAST MAJORITY of deaths were the old and immune-compromised there. It's not like this thing was wiping out the young and killing 60% of those who contracted it.

This is not a very serious disease. It's basically a flu on steroids. The CDC itself says the fatality rate is .4%- and of that- the infection fatality rate is .26%. Basically this thing is anywhere 2-4x worse than the flu. It's bad. Sure. But it's not the end of the world. It's not a disease that is going to kill millions or tens of millions in this country every year. Now THOSE kind of numbers would be devastating. We have too many damn people on this planet as it is. People are living way too long now. It is not sustainable. We need a thinning of the herd.

There should be a large distrust in government, the government has lied and f**ked over the people of this country for, oh, like ever.

Sweden’s economy grew in the first quarter yoy. HEY WHO KNEW NOT FORCING EVERYONE TO SHUT DOWN WOULDN’T LEAD TO DESTROYING AN ECONOMY!

The idiots who run this country should be lethally injected.

First Bold:  Love to see your source on that.  I can tell you right now that isn't even close to objectively true.

Second Bold:  Love to see your source on that.  I can also tell you for a fact that isn't true.  I've done the math earlier in this thread, as have quite a few other sources, and the death rate is somewhere around 1.5%, give or take 0.5%.  The flu death rate is 0.1%, which means that it is around 15X more deadly.

Third Bold:  Also not true, love to see your source on that.  While some have mild symptoms, around 35% of cases are quite severe.

Fourth Bold:  Obviously this number would not be close to accurate...and yet still 4x deadlier than the flu, which, well, see second bold.  So scientists questioned it.  And: Researchers also lambasted the CDC’s lack of transparency about its data sources. The eight-page document disclosed almost nothing about its numbers, citing only internal data and a preprint — a study that has not been peer-reviewed — led by scientists in Iran.

So you trust the CDC numbers, right after saying you shouldn't trust the government which lies and f***s the little people over?

See, I read this, and it makes it harder to take the other posts seriously.

  Even the ones who think that there has been a Second Coming of the Messiah.
