No mask mandate! ALL this for a virus with a 98% survival rate, dangerous to only.00001% of the pop
 

Small business is struggling to survive. Why? Are you all purposefully trying to destroy this states economy with all this pseudo science? for the sake of your political agenda?

ACCORDING TO THE CDC, THE FATALITY RATE FOR THE SEASONAL FLU IS 0.13%. This number is an ESTIMATE; it has always been just an estimate.

CDC estimates, people between ages of 0-49 years have a 3.25 in 10000 (0.0325%) chance of dying from COVID-19; thus, this group of people has a greater chance of dying from the seasonal flu than COVID-19.

CDC estimates, people between ages of 50-64 years have a 13 in 10000 (0.13%) chance of dying from COVID-19.

CDC says, people older than 65 years have a 84.5 in 10000 (0.845%) chance of dying from COVID-19.

The fatality rates above consider all people who are infected with the virus - both asymptomatic carriers and those who have no symptoms.
