Stars given by participants in this forum are far more generous than say stars (NOT) given in the "Religion" or "Conspiracies in Religion" forums. Look at my stats. Those (my home) forums are UNFORGIVING and MEAN SPIRITED and possibly ignorant regarding star dispersal. They are hateful and brutally judgmental. You are now officially forewarned to avoid ever posting to those forums if expecting a *thanks for participating* reward/accolade and will be (behind the scenes) brutally dismissed as a fawner; an unworthy suck up.

Honestly, I didn't get what you were saying in that post.
Now, 20% of what?
I mean Germany has more cases than the US but only 68 deaths. The US is already at 279.

Actually THAT (your question/query) is what I meant to say; but was emotionally sidetracked. Xtrozero: please answer.

ETA: Looked up the death rate for the US and it seems to be around 2.6M a year. From what I found 14,400 are homicides and 37,200 are car accidents. The Covid deaths might offset those numbers and then some.

Not necessarily, if that 216,000 is mostly due to natural causes or accidents in the home. Even suicides would still be happening, maybe even more.
That is why I singled out homicide and car accidents. They are a small amount of that 2.6M

Mine is that even if accidents and homicides drop and Covid is around the same as the regular flu (up to 60k deaths a year, so I have heard) then it will offset the drop from people staying home.
