mr40: Think of this. While the COVID-19 fatalities are around 50K, the death rate from crime and violence is WAY down, as well as driving fatalities. There was only 1 shooting in Baltimore last week, and that was a police officer shooting a guy with a fake gun in the arm.
Regardless of the fatality rate, the disease is a lung-eater and is highly contagious.
After things get back to normal, are health insurers and the medical industry going to put pressure on obese people to lose weight. The obesity epidemic is a big contributor to the fatalities from COVID-19.
