1) It's a virus. 2) That death toll number is as fake as hair on Rob Senderoff's head. Did 1.2M Americans die in that timeframe? Maybe. Was COVID the direct cause of 1.2M deaths? Heck no. Improper treatment, misclassified cause of death (flu deaths plummeted somehow despite being in the same family of virus), etc. are all plausible, but it's taboo to critically think and discuss this topic. 3) The real death toll may end up being the middle class and schools like the University of Akron. Time will tell.
I stand by what I said - neither Acton nor Vivek will have UA's best interests in mind.
