Quote HistoryQuoted: Doomers are so much smarter but can't even read a website? Chinese report 80,000 cases. Send the entire world into a tailspin for 5,000 deaths plus however many the chinese actually have. Why is it so difficult to understand thats ridiculous? All I can tell you is hide and watch. |

So explain to me, Einstein, what happens when someone brings this back into the US later this year? Are you going to do another "shutdown"?

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I don't believe that there is any way that the "recovered" cases number is accurate in any way shape or form... In order to get an "all clear" it requires two consecutive negative tests from what I heard one of the MD's saying on TV today. They are not wasting the test kits on folks that healed up fine on their own. A guy that works for me called me Monday night and told me that he was going down hard, fever, aches, etc. Tuesday he felt like he got hit by a truck, muscles worn out ans shortness of breath just walking across the living room. Tested negative for influenza A & B this morning. He called his Doc to see if he should go get the COVID test and he was told no, since he is feeling better. Said at noon today he was feeling much better and he just sent me a text saying that he feels almost 100% and plans to work from home tomorrow. Something is fucky! We had a big recovery by a "he gonna die" patient after 48 hours. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ugh..some of you folks are as bad as the leftists I know who can't stop talking about trump in every other sentence. Welding the doors shut and locking people in their homes to stop the spread of this and crimes against ethnic groups are two entirely different things. China sucks, we all know that. But just stop, look and think about the extreme measures the entire world is taking to try and stop this. Losing argument I suppose. In a month we will either have a great many people dead or we won't. If we don't none of you will admit that we dodged a bullet with these extreme measures we are taking. I really do hope you guys crying nothing burger are right...But Im not holding my breath. And I'm "as bad as a Leftist"? You, sir, are full of the hurr durr tonight. The First Rule of Holes.

If this is so dangerous, shouldn't it be like, ravaging our population? The numbers being posted are rookie numbers. And the whole "shut down everything to slow it down" thing doesn't make sense. We all come out of hiding in 2-8 weeks and then it starts spearing faster through the population again. We're not going to be any more immune to it in a month or two. Shouldn't we be using a more staggered quarantine response? If you filter out the fear & panic, it doesn't seem like this is anything near bad enough for this kind of massive response. This response is like, "the dead rising and it's spreading like a fire!!" kind of response. And the reality is it's spreading like a trickle, people are saying half won't even get sick from it, and it's only ravaging the people that would have gotten sick/died from regular flu this year anyway. I'm all for hanging out at home, but this just seems wayyyyy dramatic. |

You don’t calculate the pending infected in the CFR, which is why you can’t calculate the CFR until you have a large recovered figure. Where’s the absolutes in those pendings and how many of those will not recover? 50%? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Well...look. The 'it's only the flu' flu, H1N1 kills 50,000 people a year. right? The CDC says it has a CFR of 0.1% CoVID-19 reportedly has a CFR of 1.5% (your claim2, I've heard as high as 3%). That means CoVID-19 is 15 times more deadly than H1N1. Assuming the same number of infections, (which CoVID-19 is WAY more transmissible), that would equate to 750,000 dead. The ease of transmission, total lack of natural immunity, and non-existant herd immunity of the Chinese Flu...could likely bump that number up by a factor of 2. My mouth has just been agape for the past two weeks due to the misinformation, ignorance, and depraved indifference to spreading this shit. People going out in public thinking 'I won't get it' with zero regards to who they might be infecting - need to be beaten. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So last season it was 34k-61k ( I think) estimated to have been killed by the flu. Double those numbers and that is an example of what a tenth of a percent increase can do. Panic? No. Take it seriously? Yes. |

If they stay infected it is assumed they will die. Let me help you out. It is the KNOWN deaths divided by the KNOWN infections. If the known deaths remains constant while the known infections increases, the mortality rate GOES DOWN. Mortality Rate CAN VARY OVER TIME as the most vulnerable succumb to the disease early on, leaving healthier people to recover later on. MORTALITY RATE IS NOT A CONSTANT. As the disease progresses, the data set of "knowns" becomes bigger and better. The left side of the bell curve is making quite an appearance tonight. |
