  1. I had a friend die of cancer but I still live life. There are millions of ways to die, this is just one more. And based on the data the survival rate is over 99%, thus chances of death is low.

  2. Doubt it. Come late July baseball will be a distraction and cases will be dropping. Also, deaths will not spike up.

  3.  @stephaniemoore1930  over 1/3 of the deaths are in two states, NY and NJ. A recent Penn State study suggests that early on there were over 80 times more cases than what was reported. A reason for the death count we have now is because the virus spreads so fast that it overwhelmed the healthcare system and people who actually needed care did not get it. But that, overall, the virus is not that lethal. For two weeks now we have seen increasing cases, but deaths are not going up. For more on the study read the summary from Penn State News entitled "Initial COVID-19 infection rate may be 80 times greater than originally reported"

  4.  @PhantomMite  a recent study out of Penn State suggested that the deaths are where they are because of how fast the virus spreads and it overran the hospitals in some places. Over 1/3 of the deaths are in NY and NJ, consider that. Overall, the virus is not that lethal. If you want to know more about the study read a summary on it in Penn State News entitled "Initial COVID-19 infection rate may be 80 times greater than originally reported" In all, the science is out there suggesting the virus is not that deadly but the media does not report it.

  5. But no increases in deaths.
