Even in your crazy hypothetical it'd still be double the death rate of Police officers.

So, if Police officers feel the need to carry a gun and wear a vest every time they go out to mitigate their risk of dying on duty, we should wear a mask in situations that are recommended to mitigate the risk of dying from or spreading Covid.

Noone can be as stupid as you are Joe the lying Troll. You have no clue what a cop's job is do you?

That math is correct. Why do we divide it be the entire US population, though ?

Why not by the amount of people that actually caught it?

To understand what your chances are of dying from the virus you first must understand what your chances are of having the virus. 1% of the population has caught the virus, 4% of them have died, so, if you are part of the population, there is a .04% chance that you have died of the virus. As healthy people catch the virus, instead of patients in nursing homes, that death rate will go down even further. So, here is another question for you to ignore, there were five governors who insisted nursing homes take in infected patients, which lead to 40% of the deaths so far, yes you read that right, 40%. Why did they do it?
And joe, if you are the really good liberal you think you are, you would not be ignoring these questions but would have the party line ready to education us with. So, give it a try. Why did those governors send infected people into nursing homes?

Even with your ridiculous police analogy, it comes nowhere near car accidents. Maybe we should outlaw driving?

But we mitigate the risk by mandating seat belts, and speed limits, etc.

We're just doing what we can to mitigate risk.

As does the human body via the immune system.

Mitigate the risk? You mean like New York Governor Cuomo did?
What do we amount to as a country if we not only let that happen, but let them get away with it?

Thousands of men and women who worked all their lives and paid their taxes, who raised families, who wanted to watch their grandchildren grow up, died in large enough numbers that their bodies piled up in sheds, and the same nation that ground to a halt for Michael Brown and Freddie Gray shrugs. Where is even a fraction of the outrage that has been lavished on Ahmaud Aubrey for those thousands of wrinkled men and women, black and white, gasping out their last breaths in nursing home beds?

Cuomo, Whitmer, Murphy, and Newsom did not believe that they were worth saving. If we do not speak the truth, if we do not fight for justice for them, then are we as a nation really worth saving?

Governor Abbott of Texas did all he could do to mitigate the misinformation about this virus. If Texas was going to claim a death by covid it had to be substantiated. They refused to let anyone and everyone who happened to die in the past 6 months be attributed to covid-19 on their death certificate. So their numbers happened to be a little bit different then the rest of the states that weren't so particular in what they listed as death by covid for economic gain that they got from the government.

The coronavirus was actually less lethal than the flu in the state!
The flu had a mortality rate of 0.03% and 0.04%.
The coronavirus has a mortality rate of 0.01% in Texas.

Joe the lying Troll won't understand what that means. He's one of those idiots that wears a mask and rubber gloves while he's driving in his car. He probably wears a mask in his own trailer.

I agree.

This isn't even a permanent cultural change like the ban on smoking in many places because it effects those around you.

It's a temporary request to not infect others or get infected yourself when in a crowded situation.

I agree that it should be a "request", and not a mandate. Now as for getting others "infected" (self included) I agree with what the Surgeon's General and CDC head Fauci  initially implied - mask are of little use where contracting COVID is concerned.
My, opinion is that they are lying now, rather than lying then.

They're calling our Governor "DeathSantis" now...many people aren't happy with the State's response

Ted bundy did not kill 3 people.   He admitted to 36 and then later on intimated that it was as high as 100.

So why should i believe your lying graph?

Where did you get that?  Adam Schiff for Brains?

That's why he is Joe the lying Troll.  Notice he didn't say anything about all the BS  china virus tests in Florida. The truth is Ron DeSantis hasn't killed anyone.

What about all these Idiot Governors in these leftists states who are releasing infected Prisoners into the population....the double whammy, WUFLU carrying felons released to wreck mayhem by crime and disease.

THAT is exactly right.   There have been far fewer deaths in Florida than in New York where the murderous Governor Cuomo intentionally placed covid patients with noncovid patients.   He should face charges for how he handle the covid epidemic in NY.

Here's a governor who did the right thing and it paid off in a big way.

Speaking with host Steve Doocy of Fox & Friends on Friday, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem explained that coronavirus cases in her state are continuing to drop even after hosting Donald Trump's 4th of July speech at Mount Rushmore.

Describing how she dealt with the virus, Noem said, "I think what we did here in South Dakota is really remarkable because we gave people their freedom."

The decision to let South Dakotans continue to work and choose whether or not to wear masks is nearly the complete opposite of actions taken by most states around the country.

"According to the national experts, did everything wrong," Noem declared. "We did what the people on the ground saw. We aggressively addressed those situations and came out better for it.
