RE: COVID-19: Liberty vs. Safety and Security
Not only the number of infections, also number of deaths is underestimated. But I don't care. My old parents are living and I'm very glad for it. I want to protect them also if I have to eat bread and water all day.

The biggest threat is, the virus mutates and kills much more people. Imagine a mortality rate of 20 percent like some other plagues in history. Flue virus mutates every year. A stronger mutation would be like a WW III. The living horror movies on your doorstep. (Very likely the virus mutated alerady: LA Times)

I'm also on Minds.com, people there have all existing conspiracy theories ready. But, yes, I'm afraid of states wanting too much power. And also of revolutionists wanting to overthrow states and take the same power themselves.
Whenever lives are on the line, we have what I have referred to in my other COVID-19 posts as a "perfect storm" scenario @deathcross. That "word picture" may not work for everyone, but a fan of that well made movie, I think it works well enough ...
Glad to know your elderly parents are well, in the midst of it.
Whatever is coming, in far and away the most consequential event of my lifetime, is very sobering to me. I simply do not believe the State can deliver on its promises. IMHO, they are based on a false premise.
Whether my concerns are valid or not, we are already in only the very early stages of finding out ...
Thank you for investing your time in adding value to this post!
Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts with us @deathcross
Such a huge mortality rate would be kind of "blessing" here. It's proven, that viruses with high mortality rate "burn out" fast.
Seriously - amazing feedback

We are talking about the potential death of 1.56 billion humans. I prefer viruses with low mortality rate and slow spreading. We need time to produce vaccines or drugs.
