Virus death rate is .5 precent

Yet is the very operative and important word from that sentence.

 

You using dice to come up with those numbers?


If we have detected and documented every single case of C19 in America then the death rate is 5.9%.

You think we know about all of them?

And 12% where did that BS number come from?

 

5-12% of those confirmed to be infected with the virus being dead is not fun.

 

The infection rate is WAY higher than the flu and the death rate is also way higher.

What does that tell you?

 

12% references the mortality rates being seen in countries like Belgium and Sweden.

 

You are living in a make believe world. You are unable to understand basic science and public health. The numbers are published.

 

Tell us how they are different and how we can't emulate that behavior to get that result...

 

Empathy?

As you promote letting people (including kids) lose their homes, starve and loose life savings and jobs so you feel safer?

I changed my mind. I’m not having a pint with you, even if you pay. Your to selfish to even sit at a table with.

 

I have watched the "official data" for the better part of 2 months now, staying at home.

I am also looking at the newer and "unofficial" data regarding serological testing, and I am looking at the anecdotal evidence from lifelong friends and acquaintances in a small town in Florida.

The serological testing is showing that the infection rate is much higher than the official data, and that the death rate is very low.

Anecdotally, yesterday talking to work associates, my count reached 24, for people I know who very likely had the infection in the first 3 months of the year, were not tested, were not treated or hospitalized, and survived. Some had worse symptoms than others.

I still do not personally know 1 person here who has died from it.

 

No. Not at all. Do you know the meanings of the words?

 

I used the publisher numbers. 5.9% death rate if we know the number of infected.

Do we?

 

This isn't a world ending epidemic that people were led to believe.

 

No. We also do not know the true number of deaths. We can only make educated guesses based on the current data that is constantly evolving.

 

Few do know anyone who has died.

0.018% of the population has died.

Let’s say everyone who died knew 100 people

1.8% of Americans know someone who has died of C19

98% of Americans do not know anyone who has died. I do not even know anyone who knows anyone who knows someone who died.

 

Sweden is supposed to be the model for "herd immunity"

The death rate there is 12%

Herd immunity requires 70% of the population to get infected.

The math there doesn't look good

 

So, by that reasoning, the U.S. needs to split apart into smaller, more homogeneous countries if we expect to solve any of our problems.

 

No one was ever told that this was a world ending epidemic. You were told that it was a once in a generation-type global pandemic because the virus is much more contagious and juuuust lethal enough as to warrant massive pandemic control measures.

I believe you personally spent much of the early days telling everything that this virus was not something worth worrying about.

Ever been to S Korea? I have. Pohang to be exact . Very homogeneous culture. Much like Japan.

America, not so much.

 

But it isn't. Being that 98-99 of the USA doesn't have it. That's the thing.

 

That will very likely change in the near future.

 

That wasn't much of an explanation. If you had been there you probably could have made your point

 

Last news from NYC said as many as 20% of the residents carry the virus, most with no symptoms. Haven't' checked the latest death tolls, but if it went up to 100,000 dead yesterday that would still be less than 5%.

Now that the epidemic has been thoroughly politicized, the likelihood of ever knowing anything close to the factual numbers is effectively zero. Just make up your own; everybody else is, especially the 'experts'.

 

What's the thing? That this virus isn't that contagious? There are 1 million confirmed cases and the true number of infections is like 7-8x times that rate.

That the virus isn't that deadly? There are ~60,000 confirmed deaths and that number is likely 2-3x higher.

And those numbers have taken place, mostly, in the last five weeks.

 

You Trumpers act and quote numbers like it's in the past.

It's not.

Not even close

 

No.

Again for the sheltered liberals, freedom is not free. To earn it, to defend it or to live it has a cost of safety and security. It’s a fair trade.

Its why I can have scary firearms that make you nervous. Because you have the freedom to do things I may not agree with as well

Freedom is Kinda like when you moved outta momma’s house. More liberty but less security in life.

Stop with the “any” BS. You are generalizing a world wide pandemic of a new virus and comparing it to “all” issues? Silly.
