Personally, given NH's very low numbers, I feel very disconnected and safe—friends of mine around the country who are much closer to "hot spots" are feeling much differently.

There's a couple problems with your "graph". First, covid 19 is just like you said, it's a "TREND", which means you cannot compare it to other causes of death that happen every day, year round, year after year. What will happen to covid 19 if you include it in this graph permanently, like all the other causes of death??? It will drop to the bottom like a rock, so you're not being "fair" to the graph when you compare covid 19 during it's PEAK to the rest of the other causes of death!! Nice try though!! Second, we will never know the answer to what this graph would have looked like due to social distancing. It's not something that can ever be measured, so we will never know. Although, maybe the only way to find out is to get the country back to work asap, get the unemployment rate back down to 3%, get the roaring economy back, and if this virus makes a comeback in the fall like some are already predicting, we will just continue to work through it, and we can compare the number of death's while we worked through it, compared to when we were shut down. How's that sound? Also, I'm just wondering Think, what is the conspiracy theory you refer too?
