Hopefully this helps clear up some of the bullshite that ignorant people with no healthcare knowledge or experience are spreading about how there is nothing to worry about.

I have friends, one of whom was chief resident at UMC, that says you’re full of shite.

And you know how I know your post is bullshite, because this isn’t the number ANYWHERE.

Under 40, the number is around .02% mortality. And actually, under the age of 9 to this point, it is 0%, not a single death.

If Vegas has a betting line on this, I'm going with the "under" at .5% and it will be like stealing.

I was just thinking that we didn’t have nearly enough threads from preaching to people to take this more seriously (at the sane end of the spectrum) to OMG YOU IDIOTS WE’RE GOING TO LOSE 500,000 PEOPLE IN THE US ALONE!!

Yours will be the one that saves us, though.

-if you extrapolate that number for increases deaths for coronavirus for lower to higher death rate estimates: 1.2 million(2%mortality rate) to 2.07 million deaths (3.4% mortality rate)
-The coronavirus has no vaccine and is MUCH MORE INFECTIOUS.


1) Break this down by age and preconditions prior to illness
2) You are assuming the same amount of people that are infected by the flu will also be infected by this virus.
3) This is a respiratory illness that affects those with a weak respiratory system more than those with normal respiratory systems. This means the elderly, overweight and weak will be susceptible to death. Everyone else will survive.
4) This means fewer people will have significant problems with this virus since it affects a subset of people.
5) GET A GRIP MAN!!!

You are correct. I need to edit the 3.4% is total population averaged over all age groups.

Young people and children significantly lower. Children extremely unlikely to have a severe case

The flu has a mortality rate of about 0.1% vs coronavirus 2-3.4% (CDC and WHO). That mean the coronavirus is 20-34X deadlier than the flu.


Not at all true rate for Wuhan virus as the denominator is only based on reported cases (probably less than20-50% of actual cases) and the informed estimate from a doctor post on this board is saying mortality rate i.3% for those under 50
Don't contribute to the panic - this is probably going to end up as another seasonal flu type problem disease

We are all gonna miss Tiger Sports for a while....I panic at that!!

so most people who get sick wont even get tested or often can have mild symptoms


Right, so all these people who have mild symptoms and don't get tested, and therefore aren't included in the infection count for COVID-19 ... what does that do to your mortality rate?
