5000 due to the flu (100,000 hospitalized)
6000 due to car accidents (750,000 injured)
150,000 due to cancer primarily from smoking yet we allow tobacco products
150,000 due to heart disease
20,000 due to alcoholism yet we sell alcohol
10,000 due to opioid overdose yet we have free needle exchange
How difficult is it to see that we may have overreacted to this particular risk. Like ApS stated all of us are affected whether we like it or not.

None of those deaths are exponentially rising.
You say we have overreacted but we hit the point that you would react at all yesterday (3 times quicker than H1N1), and that’s despite the measures put in place due to the “overreaction”.
Also despite the “overreaction” every ‘curve’ in the US is still on an upwards trajectory.
