Dr. Erickson COVID-19 Briefing

They are claiming to be doctors and saying "it's just the flu bro". That is harm. I would really love to be able to talk to these guys and rip all their claims to shreds. The sad fact is most Americans aren't great at math and if you rattle off number after number people assume you know what you are talking about. Here's simple math anyone can understand. The flu kills 30-40k people a year according to Trump's tweet when he was questioning if worse than the flu. Covid has killed 50k people in one month with the entire country shut down. And it's not done and still killing 2k a day. And the consensus is once we open it will increase cases and deaths. It's like the flu, just a lot deadlier and more contagious. A pit bull is just like a poodle, just a lot bigger with a much harder bite.
