COVID-19: Bad News, Good News

Bad News:

According to this study, the number of people infected globally may be as high as 25 million:

And according to the official statistics, about 90,000 people have died:

Good News:

This means the death rate may be only 0.36% - and perhaps even LOWER because no one is determining the actual cause of death for the 90,000.

OK, so maybe that's not really good news, but things could be much worse. Even Dr. Faustus thinks the projected death toll has been overstated:

  1. Here is an argument for universal testing:

    I'm not certain I agree, especially because COVID-19 is NOT as lethal as they say.

    And to be blunt, there are just too many of us. Why therefore are we trying to reduce the death rate anyway? Shouldn't we just let nature take its course? If we don't, we may save ourselves for a while, but in the process we'll kill the planet ... and eventually doom ourselves to extinction, too.
