So as testing becomes more available we learn the mortality rate is less than 1%

So as testing becomes more available we learn the mortality rate is less than 1%

Two things.

  1. Lets say it is 0.5%. If I gave you a beer and said "There's a 1/200 chance you'll die from it." you wouldn't fucking drink the beer for bravado.

  2. A <1% mortality rate alone doesn't tell me the "Needed a ventilator to not die" rate or the "needed hospitalization" rate or the "Will have fucked up organs for the rest of their life" rate.

I'm not hording spam and ammo for the end days, but this is a valid health problem.

EDIT: I missed the dot, I meant .5%, 1/200, less than 1%.

Dude, you gotta get yourself calmed down. Once a year we have shark week and everyone goes into a frenzy. If you are keeping up, up to 50,000 in the United States die per year of the regular flu. It's 20,000 so far this year.

No story about this coronavirus has touched any number like that. There is no reason to imagine worst-case zombie movie level issues here. I guess it could be true in disguise, but it will not be. And then we'll move on.

If you are keeping up, up to 50,000 in the United States die per year of the regular flu. It's 20,000 so far this year.

I keep hearing that repeated.

There were 13 millon flu cases in the US in 2019 for that 50,000 dead.

The death rate of Coronavirus is 3.5% so far. That would be half a million dead in the US people assuming infection rates are the same. It also looks like coronavirus is also more easily infectious than a normal flu.

I'm not talking about hypotheticals or worse case scenarios, or saying we should all stock up on bottled water and burn our clothes, but people are over-reacting in the opposite direction and saying "IT ONLY KILLS 93 YEAR OLD PEOPLE"

Also, people aren't taking into account the fact that if the disease is serious enough to kill those types of percentages, then it is a SERIOUS illness that will take you out of commission for weeks.

TD_Covfefe_Crusader 3 points ago +3 / -0

Because Covid-19 produces mild symptoms in so many cases we have no idea how many people have been infected or what the actual death rate is. The published death rates are primarily based on people with severe symptoms who sought medical attention.

1
DinosaurAlert 1 point ago +1 / -0

The published death rates are primarily based on people with severe symptoms who sought medical attention.

That would be the same thing with flu statistics then.

My concern is less the "death rate" and more the "needs hospitalization" rate.

Muffinman 8 points ago +11 / -3

But that 5% applys for the general population, all demographics included.

Is it 5% for a otherwise healthy 30 year old? Probably not.

That's the real deception right there though. Tell Trump it's fine so he does nothing when he still has the chance to stamp it out. Then let it spread so that you can blame him for it later.

This is a lot worse than you guys think. Yes it's engineered to take down Trump. But it's a real fuckin dangerous virus that has the potential to kill millions if it's not stopped.

The economy is just gonna get hit harder once hospitals are full and everyone is dying and nobody can work.

https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-03-10-lock-down-president-trump-must-quarantine-usa-like-italy-stop-coronavirus.html

Big Brain Mike Adams likes Trump. We want him to get reelected. He's not going to get reelected if millions die. And then we're doubly fucked because some commie would take over the health care system.

This is so bad either way.

It's easy to predict how the democrats will use tragedies to their advantage but that doesn't mean they are causing it. Democrats didn't put a city the size of France in Wuhan in full quarantine. Their economy is on the brink of collapse. Democrats didn't shut Italy down. France is banning all gatherings above 1000 people... think about that. It's all concerts, sporting events, etc. Democrats aren't doing that to push healthcare - they don't have that ability in even if they wanted to.

You should listen to Stephen Bannon's podcast War Room Pandemic. It's daily and a good few weeks ahead of everybody else. I've been listening since early February. It's evident where this country is going.

Your 401k is at the level it was in 2019.

You literally have loss less then a year of gains and a chunk of the loss this week was because of the price war between the Saudis and the Russians on oil.

It will bounce back to 28k within a month of two.

Seriously. Once this thing is over the markets will soar. Everyone should use this time of manufactured panic to dump as much money as they can into the market.

3
MAGA_Master 3 points ago +3 / -0

It’ll bounce back. But when nothing is made in America and all the raw materials are manufactured in China. And they close their biggest cities. Then things sort of stop. We are at the stop light of a global economy, we are using gas and not going anywhere. But once the light turns green (few months), it’s going to soar back up.

I know some pedes have their doubts, but I personally believe this virus is China's retaliation to President Trump's tariffs on China & continued economic success.

Rather than let President Trump win re-election running on the hot US economy, China would rather destroy the world economy, than let another country surpase it, even it hurts themselves.

This paves way for Democrats to campaign on healthcare, during a "health pandemic".

My college just canceled classes for the rest of the week, and all classes until April 13th are now online-only. They're encouraging everyone to leave the residence halls and go home. We have had no cases on campus, but there were cases in nearby Cleveland/Cuyahoga County.

I'm personally not complaining because I'd rather do online classes, but this is quite an overreaction.
