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.

If people would behave like adults,
I think they could relax things a bit.
But, in some areas and demographics - they're not, and higher infection rates result.

Personally, I think the threat is over blown - but then I'm one that respects the rights of others not to be near me if I'm sick - with ANY illness.

I'm also fortunate enough to be able to work at home for the duration. There are zillions of others not that lucky.

It's a very difficult situation to manage. I for one am glad that President Trump is 'at the helm'.
