Are You Ready To Become A Statistic?

Post by pj bennett »

Over a 20 year period, more than 58,000 Americans died.
As a country, we mourned everyone of them.
Cause Of Death: Vietnam War

Fast forward to 2020.
Over a 4 month period, more than 60,000 Americans have died.
Cause Of Death: covid-19

I, am among the many, who feel that Ohio is opening prematurely.

Stay home.
Go out only for essentials.
If you must go out, wear a mask. Maintain more than a 6 foot distance from others.
Why? Because it's been found, that those nasty droplets can travel further than 6 feet.
Wash your hands.

If you are not mindful of your actions, you..... could become a statistic.

Or, you could be responsible.... for making someone else a statistic.

How much do you value your life....or another's?

31 states opening up next week.

None of them had had a two week downturn in infection rates. None of them have had a one week trend down.

But none of it matters, less than 1% of the population has been tested.

We are being led by child with a ten minute attention span. And hundreds of mayors willing to sacrifice all to fall into line.

This does not end well.

Yes, not one of the states “opening” their economies have come anywhere near meeting even one of the rather lenient guidelines promulgated at the direction of the Man-baby in the White House.

The damage will be evident by Jun-July.

Plan on this taking a LOT longer to get under any sort of control.
