    Not even close. If the death rate is 1% (of infected) and everyone gets infected in the same year, that means the world population is not going to GROW for a year. We are not going to have less people, just not going to have more people. (annual growth rate is 1%)

    In short, a full blown, everyone is a carrier pandemic of covid is not even making a dent in humankind.

    Some people still think the corona virus is a hoax? I bet the same people still think the earth’s flat.

    You didn't see the other post because its in the other Covid-19 thread now quoted below involving...

    States with few virus cases get big share of relief aid

    https://apnews.com/48b8109fce0d922a8fb0f5fce20dee92

    In a question about another state (Colorado)...

    https://www.denverpost.com/2020/05/20/coronavirus-covid-medicare-payments-hospitals/

    Simply, there seems to be a conflict...some individuals claiming they get more money for "more numbers" in some states whereas individuals in other states are saying they get more money for "lower numbers".

    Thus, I don't think they realize the federal aid from that 3 trillion dollars package is split among the states based upon unemployment claims and numbers of Coronavirus cases.

    Coronavirus relief: How federal funding failed to match each state's coronavirus crisis

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/mone...o-match-each-states-covid-outbreak/111939982/

    Looks like Texas is 38th on the list involving a correlation of coronavirus cases / unemployment claims.

    In contrast, with Georgia 1st on the list...it would in theory makes sense for that state to do what it takes to keep their numbers low...not high.

    My point, the above article is saying each states federal funding is a correlation of unemployment claims / number of positive coronavirus cases.

    Regardless to the numbers...all states of the U.S. are getting money and it would seem it only makes sense to make the effort to keep their Covid-19 numbers LOW to receive more federal aid from the government especially for big state like Texas.

    Yet, I'm sure there's a few individuals out there just talking about a few individual cases without realizing the bigger picture for each state.

    The above also answers my earlier question in another thread that nobody answered about how the federal aid is determine for each state during the lockdown.

    I predict we'll have an unusual number of births next year from all the sex occurring during the Lockdown. The unusual number of births above the norm will easily replace the number of dead from the Pandemic.

    That's what most folks do when they're stuck indoors...right ? :D

    Thus, the few countries out there that did not do a lockdown as in a lockdown lite...next years birth rate should be normal.

    There was an interactive map I saw once at a museum in Chicago that showed population growth and Pandemics...I remember seeing a large spike in the population soon after a Pandemic.

    Overnight

    Half the babies will be stillborn, because there are doctors out there telling people that taking losartan can help prevent COVID. And half of those taking it will be pregnant women.

    200,000+ absolute foxes in Huntington Beach, CA and that photographer somehow manages to stage the fat hill-billy chick in the cut-off jeans as the focal primary. :banghead:

    Look can be deceiving. We are setting case and death records everyday and the peak is not in sight yet. :(

    It might be the other way round.
    We expect population decrease.

    With couples seeing each other in tight confined space 24 hours a day and for many many days,
    there are many cases where the couples cannot find enough breathing and personal space.

    with such close proximity for very long duration, they can't tolerate each other.
    Quarrel and domestic fight break out easily.
    In many cases, police have to be called in to intervene.

    Many countries have provided HELP contact numbers for such couples.
