Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?

My point is that if only 5 Americans die from malaria each year then by definition it’s not a pandemic. SARS - bad analogy too....same with Ebola. These are not pandemics dude. No one in the US gets these diseases.

And how about your wonderful SARS analogy? Even during the 2003 outbreak only 8 Americans died of SARS. In fact only 8,000 people even got sick worldwide from SARS. This is why NONE of your examples are even close to being analogous to COVID.

Perhaps the best comparison to Covid is cigarettes which kills 480,000 americans each year. Pretty easy cure for that - ban cigarettes. Imagine the burden that would be alleviated from our healthcare resources and insurance premiums plus all the easy lives that would saved. A better argument would have been why aren’t we being as militant with cigarettes as we are COVID? That’s an awesome argument but sadly one you didn’t raise.

"My point is that if only 5 Americans get malaria each year..."

More than 5 people in the U.S.A. get Malaria each year. I think you are talking about "die from Malaria".

@glupson   yes, I fixed the typo now.  thanks

You do have to wonder about the intellectual, economic and social drag created by 50 million plus  brainwashed deplorables....

I've been observing that for the last 40 years. 👍

Americans?

I said World Wide.
 
The effect is still the same if  5,000 people migrate to the US per year that have had Malaria. I think your missing my point.  I don't have any of the diseases in my home. It doesn't mean the world doesn't have an effect on ME...or the people around us, kinda one sided, ay?

Again the statement stands, the whole world locked down, that lowered the death rate on EVERYTHING contagious, plane and simple. BUT really curbed the potential for something REAL BAD..

When the world FORGETS what CAN happen, you get the Flu like the turn of the century It swept like wildfire. Some were affected much worse than others... 1/2 of a town sick at one time, every town locked down... World Wide..  Met with blockades, to enter towns...

Was the "Cry" loud enough? Gosh I hope so.. Let's not get sloppy and forget, good common sense..
