More people are getting COVID. Okay. But more people are NOT dying. Why the panic?

10,904,000 have gotten COVID since February. 230,000 have died. That's a death rate of 0.021 or 2%. The chart below shows the disparity. Deaths barely even register. The media focuses on the people getting the disease rather than the hundreds of millions NOT dying. And for this, Biden and the left are going to shut down the nation. This is INSANE! (CDC data from 14 November)

*Hundreds of thousands NOT hundreds of millions*

L.F. No. I'm not. These are CDC numbers, not mine. Your little video doesn't say those refrigerated trucks are being used, just that they have them. Clearly, they are not being used.

THE MEDIA WANTS TO VILLAINIZE TRUMP at ALL COSTS....

The number who have died from COVID19 is approaching the total deaths for the US during WWII.  It took four years of WWII to reach that number.  It's taken less than a year for COVID to reach it.

The positivity rates are going double digits in many regions throughout the US.  Maybe fewer who catch it are dying, due to better treatments, but they are still staying on average 8 days in hospital.  And the COVID symptoms are horrible, like being tortured.

And worst of all...our nation's hospitals are once again over crowded.  To the point where someone with cardiac arrest might not be able to get treatments because COVID19 has taken up all the resources.

That's why the panic.

What don't you understand about ICU beds and staff availability

Hundreds of thousands is still a lot of death. 

If the number of treatable COVID cases overwhelms the hospitals, then those become fatal, and everything else the hospitals would have been able to treat becomes fatal too. It’s the contagiousness of COVID that makes it dangerous, not the symptoms. 

If the massive loss of human life doesn’t bother you, also consider the economic impact of hospital closures weighing down the insurance industry, and the resulting domino of the banking industry. Think of the money, at the very least.

The long term effects are still unknown. MANY people who "recovered" complain of residual effects that may or may not be permanent. No one knows if the antibodies eventually fade whereby one could get it again and possibly worse etc. How is it you don't know these things when you present yourself as such an authority?
