So we agree. Stroke it is then.
COVID is on pace if you use recent averages only. Do you think we are going to have the same numbers in 2021? Do you have any faith in the vaccine?

Agree to disagree. I’m not going to convince you and you aren’t going to change my mind.
So, Fake News, but even if it is true, let's talk about something else.
My thoughts are similar. There have already been some chains that have failed, and there will certainly be more. Some that survive will shrink, closing lower performing locations. Those big box locations often sit vacant or go way underutilized. Smaller “mom & pop” spots typically get filled much quicker when one closes.
Here is my real life scenario. My dad died 10 days ago; he was 89. At the beginning of the year his health was good, his mind very sharp. Early in the summer he started to decline, and it accelerated in the fall. The week before Thanksgiving he went into the hospital, where they found he had advanced lung cancer. At his age and in his condition, there was no viable treatment. He went home, had hospice come in, and lived out his final days.
He didn’t die from covid, and nobody made any remote effort to make it appear that he did.

You can't be serious. Go read up on deadly viruses. They are not new. and Covid 19 is not without precedent.

#1 I never said it was fake news
#2 I didn't change the subject.
I asked if you could possibly take a more narrow view of this rather than a critical nuanced look at the issue. The answer is no. You could not.

hepatitis, mers, aids, ebola....
I'll skip the name calling because I am not a small child.
Lol - so now we're talking 3rd world countries and not the US? BTW - what are those rates for the diseases you cite? US vs worldwide.
It's not name calling, it's an observation.

I'm sorry that you don't understand what we are talking about. Or when an observation ceases to be an observation. Or....anything really. Keep moving those goalposts. Can't lose that way!
You're Q-Anon? Your claim, your responsibility to back it up. Name a virus that's killed over 350,000 Americams in less than a year and the year it occurred.
How many MERS deaths in the US last year? Or AIDS? Hepatitus? Ebola?
Idiot was too kind.

My claim!? I stated that "a multitude of viruses already kill hundreds of thousands of people every single year."
You honestly need me to cite that for you?

You are not worth my time. You have no grasp of reality or how the world works and it's frustrating you to the point that you just name call. Or "make observations". Whatever it is that you do.
You are definitely wrong and have been for a long time on this. If you want to look at the broader perspective the US is going to top 3 million deaths in 2020 for the first time in history. That is about 400,000 more than in 2019. The increase is due to COVID. Other categories have actually declined as a benefit of the mitigations efforts that were pursued. There is your broader perspective.
My apologies. You, instead, need to cite the viral outbreak whose worldwide death toll has topped 1,800,000 in less than a year. I'll wait.
That is a question with a discrete knowable answer. I eagerly await his answer.

Show me where I claimed there was a viral outbreak whose worldwide death toll has topped 1,800,000 in less than a year. And then I'll cite it. I'll wait. Because I never made that claim.
Since following a conversation is hard for you without making up things that were never said to try and shift the basis of a conversation that you have no grasp of I'll say it again:
I stated that "a multitude of viruses already kill hundreds of thousands of people every single year."
Ultimately you have different concerns as it relates to this virus than I do. And that's ok.
My original post in this thread simply highlighted the captain obvious story about how power hungry government officials have systematically harmed millions of small businesses. With zero regard for their decisions. No common sense approach. (ie: little pizza joint can't serve pizza but Menards can be slam packed full).
My personal feeling is that we should have taken a more nuanced approach to covid preventative measures. That way we were not methodically destroying life for those that are still alive and will be for a long time.
I don't want to hear the complaining. This is what you voted for on the local level in those states.
I'm not sure you have any idea what you arguing about any more. Or you are playing Artful Dodger. I want to know the name and year of a single virus over the past century that compares to covid either in the US (which is what this discussion concerned) or worldwide since you dodged the former request. YOU made the claim:
Name one or admit you're full of shit. You have the choice.
Good choice. When you are thoroughly debunked it's best to quit.
