You're a fricking idiot.

Let me help you through this.

You said:

avoiding a sub 1% risk!!!!


If I'm avoiding the risk, I'm avoiding catching it. If I'm not avoiding it, I'm catching it.

Maybe that isn't what you meant, but that's your problem. Learn how to communicate more effectively, dipshit.

Based on your graph, jumping from case isolation and house quarantine to fricking bankrupt millions of people is like 30ish percent.

So yeah.

Completely asinine.


That's not what that chart says. It says that in a "do-nothing plan", at the peak of infections, we'll have about 13 times as many patients seeking critical care as we have at max capacity of beds and thus all those corona victims who need critical care and can't get one would die. If we do everything, at peak, we'll just have about 4X too many patients who need critical care as we have beds. Anyhow, it's not my chart, I told you where I got it from. It's terrible important that I found it compelling, it was important that the US and UK governments found it compelling though.

Seems like too many are infected to flatten the curve. But...what the hell do i know.





Jack shite. We were the first to have test here 4 weeks ago. We got 5 and have over 15,000 pt encounters/year. Very strict guidelines and only had 1 qualify (negative). Only started testing larger numbers this week. None very sick and no results yet. Some will be positive. Total numbers will be underwhelming compared to Flu in 2018 that killed 80,000 plus. Y'all need to turn the TV off and worry about shite that really is a problem.

eta-sorry about the jack shite part. Wasn't directed towards you, but towards all the misinformation being spread by the media and medical professionals whoring themselves out and feeding this frenzy for a little TV time.

Cool. I wasn't addressing the do nothing plan.

So, go back and look at your own chart and try again.

I'm not the only one who read it exactly as I said.

But you're right. It's not you. It's everyone else.

You're pissed off because the thread didn't go as planned. Now you're complaining about downvotes and starting shite with one of only a few who bothered to address your ignorant points.

I am kinda pro lockdown at this point. But it has nothing to do with me catching the Corona virus.

We are putting life on pause, we are already paying for it. Let’s get it over with. It’s looking like another month of this, we can’t make it any longer than that.

frick this whole thing just sucks.

Actually, it's gone EXCATLY as planned and expected. Thanks.

Meh. Downvote away but if you downvote and don't enter the thread, you're spineless.

I'm merely laughing at your stupidity. I'll grant that you weren't spineless.

No it hasn't. You wouldn't have been bitching about downvotes if it had.

Why isn't it? You think more than 3.7m people are going to die unless we shut the world off?

That's nice for statistics. I'm at a significantly higher risk than almost every one of those people.

Than how about YOU don't go outside and leave me the hell alone?

Because I'm more than 1% likely to die or be fricked up for life if I get it.

This isn't my scenario, by the way.

3.7 million is based on what math?

How about you just do what you're told so we can move past this.

If you are high risk, you can completely control your situation.

But instead, we have to screw over the entire free world financially...completely out of their control
