Part of the reason for being careful is to leave ICU facilities free. Our Governor has kept one eye on the stats as he ‘re-opens’. Right now, 37% ICU beds are free statewide {about 50% are occupied because of non-Covid reasons}, although news reports have expressed concerns about our neighboring county.

Wuligal,
If you look at the annual mortality rate (all causes) for the USA, you see that the annual death rate (per 100,000 population) in 2020 is following the trend line since 2008 (the last three years are shown below), even with COVID-19 taken into account. In 1950, our death rate was 9.649! It didn't start dropping until 1969 and it started its upward trend again in 2008 at 8.124.
YEAR DEATH RATE GROWTH RATE
2020 8.880 1.120%
2019 8.782 1.120%
2018 8.685 1.220%
2017 8.580 1.240%
See the graph and historical data at:
https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/death-rate
The big spike in our death rate occurred in 2013-2014 when it jumped from 8.159 (0.090%) in 2013 to 2014 8.264 (1.290%) in 2014.

Robertjerl,
That is not good decision making. People should seek treatment right away if they need it instead of waiting. Things will only get worse that way and will be more difficult to treat.

But so many people are totally freaked out they aren't really thinking and that was from the media/publicity/political campaign that bombarded them relentlessly in such an extreme over reaction/reporting.

Gee, you don't suppose that had anything to do with a bunch of old geezers of the Baby Boom and some older (like me) starting to die? And of course drug related things among old Hippies and young users of recreational pharmaceuticals. And of course the high casualty rate among traffickers of same.

Robertjerl,
Yes, for sure. Us Babyboomers are dying off and the birth rate of Americans is going down, so the percentage of deaths to population goes up too. From the CDC database for 2017:
Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
Heart disease: 647,457
Cancer: 599,108
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383
Alzheimer’s disease: 121,404
Diabetes: 83,564
Influenza and Pneumonia: 55,672
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis: 50,633
Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,173

Robertjerl,
I agree 100%. They are acting emotionally instead of logically. It fits in though with the majority of people. Over 80% are emotionally-driven, while less than 20% of the population is logically-driven. I am logically-driven and try to avoid most emotional encounters and have a difficult dealing with emotional people.

It's great to have my sanity validated. Every time I hear a politician or reporter use the word "feel" I want to bop them over the head with a smart stick. Running a household or business or a country has nothing to do with "feelings". It must be based on common sense and good choices.

It might appear that there are some counties that have NO recoveries but (by the CDC's own calculation) that's not true. There is a discrepancy of 50,361 "active cases" and that is in just one state alone.
Think of it this way - suppose you found a $50,361.00 mistake in your checking account. Would you change banks?

If you go to the company website you will find that the tests have an accuracy rate of 72%. The common cold tests positive as Covid.
