I don't want any news on TV, it is all garbage. I wouldn't be caught dead watching CNN, it is absolute trash.

My best friend's aunt died. 73 years old, perfectly healthy, no real comorbities except being relatively old. Another friend's grandma died, 88 years old. Another friend-of-friend is in the hospital with oxygen saturation around 70%, 33 years old. Don't know his health situation.

There's no doubt unhealthy people are more in danger. But the vast majority would not have died except for Covid. There are 360,000 excess deaths so far this year. That's not normal, not something that just happens. Deaths are highly predictable in aggregate.

It's not the plague, indeed, something like 99.2% will survive. It's currently estimated that about 20% of America has contracted the virus. The overwhelming majority are fine, but 300,000 are dead.
