On average, 8,000 people die daily in the USA....and many of the deaths attributed to covid-19 are actually deaths from natural causes. Another fact, if you factor in those people now testing positive for antibodies, the number of all covid-19 cases would be closer to 1.5 million....but that will never be reported because it would drive the death rate to less than 00.5 percent...it would also drive the 'recovered' to over 600,000 and that would almost be half of the reported active cases of 876,000.
What WHO and CDC is not publishing is the R0, pronounced “R naught,” of the virus. But, an earlier study based on information from China, gives covid-19 a RO of 5.7..... meaning that each of the half million people who were infected and did not know it infected up to 5.7 individuals and those people infected up to 5.7 and so forth even before the US knew we were invaded. What this means, that 1.5 million is a very low estimate....the other concern, we know there are at least two strains of this virus.... what is the RO of the more lethal strain, the East coast strain? If that RO is close to 5, then we should begin to see not just a flattening of the curve, but a decline in infections in some populations, specifically in white and Latin women. This would also mean that the 82 percent herd immunity has already been reached in many over populated cities.

Thank you for the breath of fresh air - it seems that the powers that be are cynically holding on to power.
Like Rahm Emmanuel once (recently0) said "let's not let a crisis go to waste".
