Well let's see. US population, rounded down is 329 Million people. If you use the low number of the WHO on mortality of .7%. You'd end up with 2.3 million deaths in the US. If you go by other data, the real mortality rate is around 2.3%. Which if this is correct, you are looking at 7.5 Million deaths in the US. (Source)

There are not any test kits for the virus, so the real number is being suppressed. If there is no test, no one is diagnosed and they can keep the "official" numbers down.
Stock up on vitamin C, potassium iodine, magnesium citrat e and D3 K2 ; or don't, it's up to you to keep your immune system up. As truckers we are generally isolated, to a large degree, compared to many other jobs. Picking up and delivering usually only involves a few people. The real problem area is using the truck stop crapper.nredfor88, Rideandrepair, Just passing by and 1 other person Thank this. -
