This is a tragedy on a scale unseen that could have been largely prevented.
Then you add in the thought of what this has done to the economy and the average american. Sobering and sad.
No one is saying that this isn't a bad thing or tragic or whatever word you want to use. However, there is a difference between 2% and 1% when you're talking about a sample size of 387 million which is the approximate population of the US.
What people need to do is let this play out over another week or two before going into absolute doom and gloom freak out mode.
