Now, this disease from China has a LESS THAN one percent fatality rate, but let's round up to one percent.
That means out of that population, 326,700,000 Americans out of 330,000,000 have NOT been killed by China.
Which doesn't even take into account all the filthy border-jumping foreign invaders who aren't exactly raising their hands to be counted.
And while I wholeheartedly agree that the entire planet should send China a bill for those dead Americans, its silly to live in fear over a less than 1 percent fatality rate.
Are you going to spend your life worrying about being hit by lightning? Being bitten by a shark? Having an airplane crash into your house?
Chances of being hit by lightning: are 0.0002%
Chances of being bitten by a shark: are 0.00000267%.
Chances of an airplane crashing into your house: Well, the chances of dying in a plane crash are 0.000000909%
Those are all much different than 1% as you can probably tell. Those three examples you gave are statistically very low.
If they weren't statistically very low, then their numbers would be up in the hundreds of thousands a year, like covid deaths are.

And just a reminder if you are the government, if more than 1 ticket wins the lottery using the same numbers, you are required to shut down your entire economy for a year. It's the new rule.

Debbie Harry, 76, shows off her bold sense of style as she proves she's still rocking it with standing ovation at Glasgow gig
There aren't many singers who receive a standing ovation before a performance.
However, Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry isn't just any singer.
The 76-year-old rocker wowed the crowd at Glasgow's Hydro arena on Friday night before she sang a single note as the iconic American band kicked off their first UK tour in five years.

You are, though. But it wasn't just the masks I was talking about. I was mainly thinking about how you people want motherfuckers to have to carry around vaccine passports to get into places, like we're jews in fucking Nazi Germany.
