re: This is the dumbest most over reactive shite ever

If you're old or sick, or have some condition.. isolate... everyone else, enjoy life.
Who and with what wisdom decides the parameters?
"Old"? How old? Many people on here likely consider those over 50 to be "old".
"Sick"? Go ahead, define something we all can live with. How long must they be "sick"? 24 hour virus, allergy attack, food poisoning? How do we know how long a "sickness" is going to last?
"Some condition"? Pretty vague. Must include "obesity". How many people do you reckon that will send to isolation?
What if someone who is not "old", not "sick", nor not afflicted with "some condition" catches the virus and dies? Is anyone, say GeauxFightingTigers1, liable for not doing something to protect them?
The PROBLEM for intellectuals such as yourself is that NO ONE YET KNOWS THE FULL EXTENT OF WHAT THE VIRUS CAN AND CANNOT DO IN THIS COUNTRY!
Few places more greatly manifests people who consider themselves to be intelligent but who actually are idiots than this site.

Yes we do, we have data.

Ive been working 24 hrs a day since last week when this shite started coming through the doors. I assure you I have not been rick rolled.

He has no idea what he’s talking about. He just needs a place to vent.

The rate has been going up and this is after a lot more testing has been done. The rate should be going down. It has gone up.

The rate in SK went down to almost nothing even in the 80+ yo range.

Yet only 100 reported cases in La. My neighbor is a surgery assistant, says she doesn't care if she gets it, might already have it, she's in her late 20s. As far as destroying the economy, yes, you've been rr.

Death rate started at 3.4% a few days ago and has been at about 3.9% for 2 days. Where you are getting going down I don’t know. But carry on.
He’s actually correct about the death rate. It is calculated with a numerator (number who die of the virus) and a denominator (number of infections, cured or not). Right now, we only have the numerator. The denominator is the number of cases THEY KNOW ABOUT. That’s way too low. The actual death rate will end up about 3/4 of 1%, imo. That’s still way higher than the flu.

Yeah, we'll ignore data and facts for Louisiana voodoo medicine.

Until the koreans figured out a treatment, their numbers are way lower.

It’s 1% currently for the ENTIRE population. It’s WAY higher than that for 80 year olds.
Eventually, S Korea will release its sampling data, and I expect that statisticians will deduce that there were a lot of uncounted cases. In that event, the number will go down. As I’ve posted earlier in this thread, I expect 0.75%. That’s way higher than the flu.

South Korea didn't figure out a magic vaccine, they were just uber prepared. This came about due to their failings with MERS. Much like the article I linked earlier about Taiwan, they implemented aggressive testing procedures that were in place well before there was an issue. Both these countries are light years ahead of the US.
But to say that SK simply quarantined the elderly and everyone else just lived their lives....is just false.

SK & Taiwan are definitely great models for the US and rest of the world, but they did implement strict guidelines to ensure the safety of their citizens.

The sk numbers are not even close to 1% even with inflated numbers. A person under 60 pretty no worry.

If you keep saying it maybe it’ll come true. Maybe screaming it will make it go faster.

That doesn’t make sense. We don’t know the outcome of those that haven’t recovered. They may die, they may not. What’s the value of counting the number of deaths against the number of people who might be in a very very early stage of the disease?

The restriction was due to them not having data, we know have....restrictions will serve very little purpose as the majority of people will not have symptoms or so mild they don't even know.
The Koreans didn't have data, we do and have for weeks.
At this stage the Koreans have the death rate so low as to be meaningless. Meaning, the people that are dying probably would be dying anyway... the numbers are so low.
We've had the data for about 3 weeks now and potential treatment for the few that could be impacted, instead of using math.... it appears Europe and the United States are using voodoo medicine.
Its probably less chances of dying the flu for the vast majority of the population - as many will not even know they will have it. Now it is kind of nasty to the 80+ year olds and ones with pre-existing conditions, probably more so than the flu by multiple factors. However, the South Koreans have even appeared to have solved that one as well.
