I think you have to take China, Iran, and Italy out of the equation.

Western nations have fared pretty well

Thats the US stats alone... as much as you may want to believe, the US isn’t the only metric and stats like this aren’t broken down to “The US and then everyone else”

Any non-dumbass realizes the total cases are exceedingly more than reported. Thus using the total "reported" number to calc a % is stupid.


We're comparing apples to apples. Flu cases exceed what is reported too. Only the very sick with either virus go to the doctor for it. So calculating a mortality rate of reported cases to compare the two is useful.

It's much more contagious than the flu.

What i do notice is a lot of very rich organizations/people, who don't like losing money, are cancelling things that make them most amount of money.

That alone tells me it is something I should be worried about regardless of whatever number crunching you have to do to make yourself feel better about the situation.

We have never canceled this much shite for anything. Not once in our history. I better see 50 million deaths or we have turned into a bunch of pliable goddamned fricking bitch arse cunts that has ruined everything great about America.

Mother frickers are writing articles begging the president to lock us up. frick this world.

100% of the 9,810,000 immunocommpromised population will probably die if they contract covid-19.

Now tell me how many of those people were already on their way out. Sometime nature tries to do a favor for people living a miserable existence. We, as a society should allow that to happen.

Nope. I think you are the only one that has realized this. Now we can and probably will all return to normalcy. Just send an email over to CNN or MSNBC or Yahoo clearing this whole thing up for them.

You know this how? Try getting an ICU bed in the middle of flu season.

Regardless of their fate, fact is the virus will accelerate their demise. My FiL is diabetic, asthmatics, & has hypertension. Under normal circumstances he can manage his health. If he were to contract covid-19, his life expectancy is compromised & greatly reduced.

The issue has nothing to do with the ethical question of natural selection.
