Actually, the fatality rate is the most important. As of today, the US and South Korea have the same rate. 1.5 %. That has ticked up .02% in 2 days for both countries. 85% of covid19 cases are self resolved. I guess you forgot about the H1N1 virus during Obama’s tenure. 60 million infected and 12 thousand deaths in the US. H1N1 was worse because it affected young and healthy people. You don’t because the media didn’t cause panic.

Covid 19 may never get near those numbers. Was 12 thousand deaths Obama’s fault? I don’t care for him but I won’t say it was his fault. Maybe you and Low T can explain. Youre hanging your hat on a weak aurgument that you’ve swallowed hook, line and sinker from the MSM.
So, Mr Genius, explain this poll:

Yeah, the media is the least respected during this pandemic. You are living proof. You parrot what they tell you. It might be too late, but quit while your behind.

Since you are aware of the importance of CFR, then you know that SARS-Covid19 has a CFR that is much greater than that of H1N1, so your prediction that this virus may not kill as many people in this country as H1N1 is not realistic, unfortunately. As for blame, surely Obama takes some for H1N1, but this virus makes H1N1 look like a common cold, and Trump lied to the public for two months about this thing, so as he says, "Leadership, whatever happens, you're responsible. Whatever doesn't happen, you're responsible." I don't watch MSN, CNN, or any cable news for that matter, so you're another one in here making unfounded assumptions.
Sorry, but I don't give the clown Ben Shapiro any clicks. Fuck him. Funny that you say that the media is the least respected but then post a link to that nut job's site.
I truly hope you stay safe old man.
