    I don't know if he's "fine". He's alive

    And he's saying we need to take this VERY seriously. He seems to have had a change of heart after getting it

    Your first two are both "could be" and "may" so they are meaningless opinions
    Your second two are from those bastions of accuracy the NYT and WaPo. We all know what they are about.

    Now, getting back to the .5%, given the testing numbers now being published and not counting the people that had the Chinese virus and never had a clue. Just my guess the death percentages are lower than .5% but that is my opinion. We will find out more as soon as more test results are published.
    All that said, I will tell you what I told you back months ago. (your profile page only goes back to mid-April and you have posted 16 pages in the last two weeks)

    stay calm
    remain inside until you feel comfortable going outside
    wash your hands
    you will be fine

    Would you expect a government head to say anything else?

    Oddly that doesn't actually work.

    My friend locked down early...worked from home...her only interaction with the "outside" was a pizza delivery...and she got it. 2 months now and she's JUST starting to come around

    You don't seem to understand.

    If we open up and this thing spreads AGAIN...what does that do to the economy?

    Nope. Hard core statistics from several bodies of experts.

    He is back at work as PM of the UK. If he is doing that he is fine.

    You think that others should confirm to your will so you feel safe and secure. That’s not going to happen. See you for a pint out in town (we open in Texas in two days) or not.

    That is up to you. But I’m getting mine :)
    I’m sure the server and barkeep will be happy to be earning a living again.

    We are less susceptible to appeals to emotion as you are.

    We prefer rational interpretations of valid data, and so far, as time marches on, the data is showing that this thing has been blown way out of proportion.

    The data is showing that the infection rate is very high even as the death rate is very low.

    You are ignoring expert research and real stats. Death is not a game.

    All of the statistics and research into deaths being under-reported are going to be "could be" and "may." Otherwise, they would be included in the confirmed numbers.

    The same is true of the "testing numbers now being published and not counting the people that had Covid-19 and never had a clue." The serology tests are not being tested for accuracy and the results are estimates.

    You are clearly not looking at any credible data.

    You mean you are devoid of empathy and reason?
