I'm not paranoid and hiding under my bed but we need to respect the health of our fellow citizens. Make your own choices but respect the rights of others as well. @D

We have been dealing with COVID-19 for less than 4. Estimates for flu deaths vary from 12,000 to 61,000. We'll split the differance and say around 42 to 43,000 deaths from the flu. With having 55,000 deaths from COVID-19 already, in less than 4 months, it's quite obvious that COVID-19 is much worse than seasonal flu. @Dawn,

While that is great, one day does not represent a trend. The daily numbers and reporting is giving me whiplash because of the overwhelming desire of so many to take numbers out of context to skew a political narrative when in reality tracking the trends of covid-19 is going to be like tracking climate science. It's about tracking the trends over a long period of time and seeing what the trends suggest. The difference of following climate science vs seeing a weather event.

Think about it...what’s really going on?
