End of the article......."comments closed". LOL. Media sources hate uncensored comments!
And the best comment of all before they closed them I'll paste here:

We have a population of 330 million people in this country. Taking into account the CDC distinction of “died from” and “died with” we will lose around 600,000 people, more or less, kinda sorta. Approximately 25% percent of those deaths are individuals over the age of 80. Moreover, the average number of co-morbidities — diabetes, ischemic heart disease, etc– is close to 4 per fatality.
Let that sink in. FOUR.
Our response to this has been to (1) throw 12 million people out of work; (2) destroy thousands of small businesses that will have a very hard time coming back, it they even do; (3) transform one of the greatest cities on the planet, New York, into a ghost town; (4) take away a year’s worth of education for young students, many of whom are poor, with very bad consequences that have yet to play out; (5) print enormous sums of money that are just now beginning to have disastrous consequences, and will saddle our progeny with a debt they can never repay.
Enough data for you?
Oh, one other thing. That death toll of 600k amounts to TWO TENTHS of ONE PERCENT of our nation’s population. That is sad and all, but in our “response” we have likely ruined the future lives of probably 10% of the population — 30+ million people.
This tradeoff, this failure to engage in sensible risk management, has been absolutely catastrophic, and we will pay the price for years to come.
