we had 1400 deaths today? Not sure where you are getting this idea because its not true.

the mortality rate is going down whether you want to accept it or not.  7 to 8 thousand people died per day in this country before covid.  1400 on top of that is nothing.  and we all know they are calling pretty much every death right now a covid death to get the federal money.  my wife works in the hospital here and she admits they are doing that.  this is not something we should be shutting the whole country down for at this point.

I don't believe you. What you are saying has been debunked over and over again. Hospitals get no extra money from COVID deaths. 1400 deaths a day on top of what we already have is absolutely significant. Thats nearly heart disease level which is the deadliest disease in the US. Mortality rate is going down but anyone with a brain knew it wasn't 3.4%. Best estimate has been 0.5%-1% for awhile now and that is still the best estimate. 

 
No , get real PANDEMIC .. despite the way the Husker defense has played at times six foot distancing can’t be maintained on the field. Frost and Husker hierarchy need to stop whining and grow up .

There may not be college football for quite some time.  Fauci has said dont count on an effective vaccine.  The doctors are already learning how to treat it better but that doesnt seem to matter.  We are having more and more positives and less and less deaths but people are still irrationally fearful of this.  I hope there is a great vaccine or treatment but until then the world is on hold until we learn to accept some of the risk that comes with this virus.

Who is “irrationally” fearful of this?

people that are simply following the guidelines and wish others would?

I won't give names...but about 25% of the people I work with are irrationally fearful of this...as in...sitting at their desk behind a desk shield and then upon entering...me with a mask on...15 -- 20 feet away...they also put on their mask.

18% of total daily deaths isn't significant? Someone failed math.

you dont have to believe but what i say is true.  there are a lot of people that think and still think the death rate is in the 3s.  

you are entitled to your beliefs but i dont think 1400 people a day (and declining) is enough to justify millions of kids not going to school, and millions of people losing their jobs.

people who want to shut everything down until there is a vaccine.

you are in charge of your own health.  i wear a mask because its the courteous thing to do but you really need to stop worrying about what others do.  you have ZERO control over them.
