What medical data? The data reported by the CDC that ONLY reports on the people that have been tested? That is the only data they can report on....period. Reports show the infection rates are 50 to 80 times HIGHER than the CDC is reporting. I am also going with my professional experience as an EMT and the fact that the hospitals in the US are NOT overwhelmed. Don't believe it. There are hot spots, obviously. However, in general they are not overwhelmed with patients, very few are admitted, less are in ICU and even less are on ventilators.
I have spent plenty of time on 911 calls and at my local hospitals over the past few weeks, so please don't preach to me about that. I have seen it first hand in my area (near DC). I have fire-rescue friends that have been infected, one of which is in the hospital as we speak on a ventilator. It doesn't change my feeling about this.
Bottom line IMHO. If you have underlying conditions (i.e. heart disease, diabetes, COPD) and fear for your safety....stay home with your doors locked and the curtains drawn. Totally understand that.
However, everyone else's fear doesn't trump my constitutional rights. It shouldn't dictate whether my business folds permanently or I cannot work and provide for my family.
It's BS in my opinion.
