In 2018 there were 85,135 deaths in Georgia from all causes. The 2019 population of Georgia is about 10,750,000. The national death rate is 868 per 100,000 population.
Based on those figures, a rough calculation would indicate that between 85,000 and 90,000 people will die in Georgia in 2020. If we use the lower figure, that's about 233 deaths per day. Currently we are averaging about 6 deaths per day reported to have died from the Wuhan virus.
Why are we shutting down the entire state for something that is minuscule in comparison to the all cause mortality rate?
