I like to use the Florida Dept. of Health data as a reasonably accurate depiction of covid-19 infection and mortality. Based on their latest data summary, 10,860 deaths have occurred, with 1,976,808 people testing positive. Using just those two numbers means a person has less than 0.55% chance of dying from covid if they are infected. But there are many people who either have such mild symptoms, they don't bother to get tested, or apparently even asymptomatic people. So assuming only 1/4 people who are infected get tested for those reasons (I heard early on it could be 1/8), that means there is an average chance of dying of 0.14% Of course, the chance of dying is much lower for people under 60, of reasonable health, and higher for elderly and those with certain conditions. But the bottom line is, the nation's economy was destroyed, people's lives destroyed, and basic freedoms stolen, for an illness with a very low risk of death for the vast majority of people! And now, they are convincing millions of healthy, very low risk people, to get vaccinated, when all along, any vaccination should be limited to high risk categories.

And if 0.14% of the entire U.S. population were to contract covid-19, it would still equate to less than 500,000 deaths, so how do they come up with over 500,000 dead now from covid-19? (answer: if a dead person was able to spell covid-19 when they were alive, they get counted as a covid-19 death :) )
I know some sheeple who get physically angry when they eat at a restaurant and see people at other tables not wearing a mask. They were typing in all caps on social media that if you're done eating you have to wear a mask!
Why were they eating out if they think it's so safe? So... they want to eat out, but they also want to control what people at other tables do. They go out just to get angry at people. They also wear three mask and two sets of gloves when they go out and are livid at everyone who doesn't. They call them "Single-mask wearers".
Here in NY (lower part of state; highly influenced by proximity to NYC), at least 9/10 people walking outside wear masks! Quite a few people here wear masks while driving cars! They either don't even think, or have succumbed to the MSM propaganda so much that they just operate out of fear 100% of their waking hours! I've started my own version of mask shaming, I point at them and laugh :) I encourage everyone who knows the pandemic madness must end to do the same (and it feels pretty good too :) ) I only encourage this if you are driving, or if you encounter a person you feel safe laughing at :)
