Odds being bitten by a shark is on in 3.75 million offs of contracting and
dieing from covid19 one in 31 million.

Strange.
A million people have died of COVID19 globally in the past 6 months.
64 people were attacked by a shark last year. 4 died.
Edit: Incidentally, the global estimated population is 7.8 billion. Deaths of 1
million people is 1 in 7800 people in the world. Factored for 12 months, if the
rate keeps up, will mean that approx 1 in 3900 worldwide will die. If you factor
in the infection rate is still increasing, it is likely to be even more than
that.
Pretty fucking far from 1 in 30 million odds.
Edit 2: Thinking about it further, let's look at the United States. The current
estimate of US population is 328 million. Current Covid deaths is 197,472. So
that's a mere 1 in 1660 Americans that have died in the past 6 months. Or around
1 in 800 over the course of a year if statistics keep up the way they're going
now.

And how many have died in Australia ?
We lose 800 a year to that other corona virus (flu)
We lose 1100 a year to Carr accidents.

Using the number of deaths from another cause to rationalize accepting
preventable deaths from a completely different cause is just nonsense.

Blah blah blah orange man bad..
You need the president of the United States of America to explain to you how Not
to catch the flu?
It's odd that you routinely criticize Our President but never say Jack shit
about Pelosi or any of the other anti-American Democrats..

PJ, I didn't need him to explain it to me but apparently there are a lot of
slow people out there who worship the man and hang on his every word who needed
him to do the right thing and he failed, a failure that has deepened the
divisions between the thinking people and the Trump followers and worse,
needlessly cost thousands of lives. Instead of rallying the nation to pull
together to defeat this thing the way it has beaten other crisis in the past he
lied, he new the danger in early February and even now continues to downplay it
and ignore what measures need to be taken. The only TDS that exists is his own
and that of the dolts who continue to follow him. And now here's this out today,
or is it too sciencey for all y'all. [

Breaking news: Trump's business school alma mater, the Wharton School of
Business, says Biden's economic plan is more sound than Trump's. Not surprising
considering how many businesses (including casinos, lol) Trump has run into the
ground and now he's wrecked a country over his failure to admit the truth and
actually lead accordingly. And still people think Don the con is a god. I've
watched him; he was a fucktard in 1980, a fucktard in 1990, a fucktard in 2000
(I'm paraphrasing arch conservative William F Buckley on that one), a fucktard
in 2010, and he's a fucktard in 2020.

As far as the virus goes, if we take the same precautions we do for the flu we
should be fine.
When we give President Trump 4 more years in November we will see a greater
nation come out of it. He will be reelected so go ahead and cry about it.

What is fascinating to the rest of the world is how fucking ignorant the
average American is. Not because of the usual stereotypes but when you talk
about your President. You all seem to think he is a magician that can wave his
had and what he says goes. When in fact he is just the head of a party that may
or may not hold a majority in the upper or lower house. And so the President can
say anything he wants but cannot actually make it happen without the full
support of his party and possible some of the opposition. And the first response
from the most ignorant will be " what about executive orders" and the
good old "power of veto" and that just confirms your stupidity and
lack of understanding. The main job of the President is sadly just hiring and
firing.
