3000 deaths a day is a cheap scare tactic, as well as asking if the reader would like to be one. My resources say that 3000 is way above the projected high which means that it will then drop.

I guess if you keep on scaring people, people will be more likely to remain quietly at home. Works for me. I like not seeing so many people running around. Since 1970-2018 the US population has risen 50%. Three thousand extra deaths just from Covid19 won’t make a dent as far as the health of Mother Earth and her other species are concerned. But keep on pushing the company line.

Lol... don't insult rodents that way! While he certainly shares some facial features, rats are capable of great empathy for other rats and other species, and often act in the best interests of others. There's lots of cool research on it. I say this not just because I have had 20 pet rats over the years since 1992, but also as an interesting little point.
