This pretty much sums up all the morons in this thread who have no idea of the ramifications of a global novel pandemic. They checked out the initial stats out of China and saw it didn’t effect their age group very much, said whew I’m going to live, frick everyone else.
I’m sure if this thing hit your age bracket real hard you would be in here asking a bunch of questions about when the vaccine would be out and demanding action for someone to help.
How hard are your nipples as you type this?

How hard are your nipples as you type this?
Will it take a couple months? Half a year?
How many deaths do we consider critical? 21?
Scruffy doesn’t.

*facepalm*
I don’t know why there’s college degrees in epidemiology if all you need is 2nd grade math.
It’s serious, but more for the fact that it can overwhelm health care systems than for the death rate.
No reason to over dramatize the situation with those kinds of posts.
To put it in perspective, a novel disease with those kind of mortality rates (if they were real) that spreads like the flu would result in over 100 million deaths in the next 36 months.
That is NOT going to happen here, even in the worst of cases.
The worst that could happen is you getting in a car accident, cancer, appendicitis, etc and hospitals being unable to provide the standard of care you are used to.

Oh you listened to a Sanjay Gupta podcast did ya
Why don’t you read directly from the WHO report ya dip shite.
quote:
Approximately 80% of laboratory confirmed patients have had mild to moderate disease, which includes non-pneumonia and pneumonia cases
13.8% have severe disease (dyspnea, respiratory frequency =30/minute, blood oxygen saturation =93%, PaO2/FiO2 ratio <300, and/or lung infiltrates >50% of the lung field within 24-48 hours) and
6.1% are critical (respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction/failure).
Asymptomatic infection has been reported, but the majority of the relatively rare cases who are asymptomatic on the date of identification/report went on to develop disease. The proportion of truly asymptomatic infections is unclear but appears to be relatively rare and does not appear to be a major driver of transmission.

I said last night this thing will be a distant memory in 90 days. I don't claim to be a newly anointed disease expert like many here now are but as warmer weather moves in this thing will slow down so maybe 120 days or so? Either way, the hype is ridiculous.
I read something the other day that pointed out that the amount of social media users on apps has grown into the billions vs millions since H1N1 and linked a lot of the panic over COVID vs H1N1 to people like we see on the OT spreading disinformation. I think it's a great point.
Be concerned? Sure. The amount of panic and fist fighting over toilet paper is stupid, though.

The scare and panic over COVID will do more damage than the actual disease.

You sincerely think this is just influenza, don't you. That it's ok for anyone to get, including asthmatic children.

K let’s see where you stand on this subject in summer 2020 when this overblown shite storm is gone and you have nothing to jerk it to but memories of Ebola and SARS
