So the numbers are in for the year from the CDC and they have defined the number of deaths FROM the ChiCom virus and it is only 6% of the total or around 20,000.  The rest are being described as deaths WITH the China virus which in my estimation is wildly overstated.  Be that as it may, the CDC has very quietly stated what many of us already knew.....the number of deaths FROM the virus are insignificant compared to the numbers we see splashed all over the news in order to allow the Governors to continue to act like dictators.

So what should this mean to a sane and rational world?  First, we need to focus like a laser beam on the elderly and those that have co-morbidities in terms of protecting them from exposure.  Second, we need to revisit the restrictions and shut downs for the broader public and especially small businesses and make them more effective by targeting those actually susceptible to the virus.  Third, we need to be realistic about the current measures in place as they are apparently not effective.  States with the most extreme measures are no better off and in many cases far worse than those with less restrictions.  And yes, that includes what is apparently not helping, the widespread use of masks.
