Today, people are 100% convinced corona virus IS a hoax and the lockdown should end.

Your valid/credible documented sources for this unsubstantiated claim ??

75,670 dead Americans from COVID-19.

Since April began with 5,000 already dead,
this means that in past 37 days, 70,670 have died from COVID-19
...an average of just over 1,900 die per day.

The common seasonal influenza kills 38,000 PER YEAR.
IF the common flu killed 1,900 per day like COVID-19
- even just during its typical high season October thru March -
then annually 342,000+ would die from seasonal influenza.

Have you not seen people running around claiming the virus is a hoax and the lockdown should end?

i am in queens NY and can definitely say this is not a hoax.

i got tested for antibodies last week as a stipulation to return to work (essential business as we are a lumber yard). they did the blood drawn test, no finger prick. i tested positive for antibodies. assumed this is what i had back in february that i caught from my dad. was an awful month of an extremely sore throat and dry cough. luckily no breathing problems. my dad has bad breathing problems at night but never went to the hospital along with a bad bad cough. somehow he made it and looking back his doctors are saying it is because he takes hydroxychloroquine cause with his underlying issues he should have been in the hospital. he is getting tested for antibodies next week.

my dad's boss who is a family friend lost his father as it spread like wildfire in a veteran's nursing home. i know other's who have suffered loss of parents and even young cousins and friends.

just saying it is not a hoax. i wish no other states have it as bad we do.
