Dr. Birx, says 2.2 million could die from Corona if we screw this up as a nation, best case scenario is 200K, do these numbers warrant the fear being

Not defending her numbers or arguing her numbers, but 2.2 million is .6% of the population, 200K is 0.06%. It really doesn't match all the hype.

@OggggO Yes, and 1.25M people die in auto accidents every year. The worst case scenario presented by Dr Birx doesn't add up to the hype to me.

@Roadsterrider yes. How many die of gun violence?

Auto accidents are accidents.

Not naturally occurring viruses.

Guns deaths are intentional.

@Roadsterrider Have you seen the amount of effort put into reducing automobile related deaths?
