What Price are we Willing to Pay for LIFE and FREEDOM?

 I am convinced now that the peak is in.  

Using a factor of only 20% (1.2 multiple) increase per day, here's how it plays out and how the rate is declining.  Pandemics are never cumulative, they are exponential till they are exhausted.

EXPONENTIAL PROJECTION V ACTUAL COUNTS 

  April 1st Actual 4,000
      4,800    2  Actual 5100
      5,760    3  Actual 6059     Multiple demonstrated
      6,912    4  Actual 7146     1.21
      8,294   5  Actual  8492     1.18
      9,953    6  Actual  9643    1.21
    11,944    7  Actual 10,980   1.17
    14,333    8  Actual 12,905   1.14
    17,199    9  Actual 14,814   1.12

Based on this here's the new likely outcome
Multiples as they decline
 9    14,814     1.12
10    16,592    1.12  actual 16,693
11    18,583    1.12  actual 18,771
12    20,813    1.12
13    23,310    1.12
14    26,107    1.12
15    29,240    1.1
16    32,164    1.1
17    35,381    1.1
18    38,919    1.1

 It is clear now from the exponential rise and fall of total loss of life due to coronavirus will be about 50,000 souls more or less by the time things start falling fast.  The total loss by August will  be less than 70,000.

This is about the loss of life from an ordinary flu season.  The old,  in-firmed and compromised are dying first.  Every soul is precious, but every soul has an end they must face.  Some who faced death and succumbed in this time were on the edge when they may or may not have become attacked by the Virus.

What has made this so much more difficult is how unknown this is.  How there is no "Cure" nor Vaccine for it.  Of course there are some efficacious treatments that are working in other parts of the world like France.  They are not yet widespread here.

The political forces arrayed against life are willing to sacrifice people in exchange for posturing.  Of course these same voices will argue that when measures are made to attempt to return society to some form of restoration, they will cry dollars over deaths.  These same are quite happy to promote abortions because having a child is "Inconvenient".

So be careful who you listen to.  Who is speaking lies and truth.  The truth is Life is for the Living.  At some point we must bury the dead and move forward.  I think the instruction is understood for being careful as we move on.  Let us measure the cost of freedom and life versus virtual martial law and self confinement.

50,000 by May, 70,000 by August.  Too much... you decide.  We decide.
