Re: Corona Virus
 

That is literally exactly what you said. 'Carrrying on like normal' isn't social distancing.

You may want to read a bit more world news. Its not just the old and the sick that are getting admitted. Its also not just the old and sick dying. We had a fit and healthy 21 year old pass away in the UK and she wasnt the only one, just the youngest.

If everyone as your suggesting just went out and carries on like normal then in says 2/3 weeks time 60% of the population got sick, which is what projections are suggesting will happen if its left unchecked, then lets say 5% need to go to hospital that alone will cripple the hospitals. It would be near enough 10,000,000 people in the US aand chances are more than 5% would end up needing go be admitted.

The entire aim here is to try to keep the % of the overall population at any one time getting sick low, even if its dragged out for longer, it means that the strain on the hospitals is manageable. I dont understand how you need that explained.... again its just common sense.

Boris Johnson and the UK health secretary have tested positive

No comment on your wrong numbers above?

Re: Corona Virus
 

Jesus Christ, I KNOW it's not just the old and sick. The young and healthy die from the flu as well! They are more likely to die from the flu, than this, actually.

The overall population getting sick isn't what the problem is. It's the people getting sick, THAT ARE AT THE MOST RISK, that would require more hospital and doctor services. Even if young and healthy get sick, They are not the ones clogging up the medical system right now.

I don't understand why you guys aren't understanding this. Yeah. They get sick. But are FAR FAR more likely to not even show symptoms, while the old and sick, will not only show symptoms, but will probably end up in the hospital. How are you people not recognizing the differences?

Yeah, let people go back to normal. Carrying on like normal. As in, not having lockdowns and threatening people with jail time. That kind of normal. Open up shops and businesses. We aren't ucking children. We will protect ourselves now that we understand what's going on. . But the ones that are at most risk, and are clogging hospitals, are going to be protected. ALl the while, we aren't destroying our economies.

Re: Corona Virus
 

where did you get the numbers for every age group, this being 10-15times more deadly? And average doesn't really matter. Average, is the reason people still believe people only lived to 30 years old in the old days. Why average doesn't matter, is because the reason they only lived to 30 years, was because 8 in 10 kids died within a few years, which completely dragged down the average for all the people that lived till 80.

Just as in this situation, using averages is pointless. Separate them by actual age groups, and show me how deadly it is compared to the flu. And my point of comparing it to the flu, is that people died of the flu just as they are dying of this. Not that this is less dangerous than the flu. Using anecdotes to prove me wrong, because some 21 year old died, is meaningless, when 21 year olds die of the flu too.

But HOW MANY 21 year olds are dying of this? How many of the ones that are getting sick, are dying of this? How many 21 year olds already got sick and got over it, and we will never know, until we do testing for antibodies?

Re: Corona Virus
 

Negative, Ghostrider!

Come one, James, you're letting me down as of recently. Your posts used to make the most sense, regarding this, but you seem to be getting some bad info lately.

Depending on age, Covid-19 is between 6 and 25x more deadly than the flu.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Average, because I don't really care to list them all out here by age lol.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Here. I'll do it for you. That is one hell of a curve. Isolate just the 80+ or even 70+, and the death rate would plummet.

Re: Corona Virus
 

I posted a couple hours before today's numbers were published on worldometers. They may seem crazy, but they're just the numbers that were published on that page a few hours ago.

Now it's at 1546 deaths, 2465 recoveries. So it's only off 2:1 by about 500 with the latest stats. The thing is though, these "recovered" people still seem to carry the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the symptoms it presents seem to be incrementally detrimental with each flare up. Like I said though, I'm not doing anymore arguing in this thread. I'm just a spectator. Only time will tell how this is going to play out.

One thing is for sure though - covid-19 is now officially killing 3x more Americans than the flu does each year.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Here's a comparison of the progression of SARS vs. H1N1 (swine flu) vs. covid-19

Re: Corona Virus
 

lol.. you still have your numbers/head/thoughts reversed.

it's 1:2 deaths:recoveries

NOT 2:1

:doh:

Re: Corona Virus
 

Good job! Now compare the numbers between the 2 and see where your statements were wrong. :)

Phuck the visual, do the math.

Re: Corona Virus
 

When this is over, I hope countries come together and ensure China pays a high price. With 1.5 bn mouths to feed and vast infrastructure and institutions that demand $$ to maintain; it can't be that hard to pull the rug under their feet and send them crashing back to where they were 70 years ago.

Manufacturing can be decentralised to Europe, Asia and a few African countries.


They're selling fhake test kits to Spain while spreading conspiracies that the US had the virus problem first before they did.

By the time this is over, the world would have lost more money than what it would have cost to move manufacturing out of China.

Re: Corona Virus
 

You, walkingupwards and Alex Jones walk into a bar...


Let me guess, 666?

Re: Corona Virus
 

Rich China is better for the world economy. China doesn't have the technology to manufacture a virus like COVID-19.


How many countries were destroyed by various US administrations? Should people demand that Americans pay up for that? Absolutely not because the American people had no say when endless and useless wars were being waged.


The world had a time window of almost 3 months and didn't make any use of it. We saw the virus raging on in China and nobody did anything about it, so saying if China came out and told the world a bit earlier would have made a difference is b.s.


You are better off directing the rage at the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation rather bashing the victim :bird:

Re: Corona Virus
 

A short statement, yet stunningly full of sh1t!


It doesn't take technology to run wet markets or eat stuff that should be left well on its own.

Nowhere near 6 million Jews.

No different from the Munich Agreement. They didn't see Hitler coming either.

Someday, I might be crazy enough to be enraged at such charitable people, but I'll not be inspired by a looney. :lol:

By the way, since you hate the US/west so much, have you thought about settling in China, Iran and N.Korea while spouting these sort of theories against these countries and see how long you remain a free man?

Re: Corona Virus
 

I wonder if anyone on the forum has been hit with symptoms whether severe or mild of covid-19...

Re: Corona Virus
 

I know a a few people. Seems everyone is doing good.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Not myself but I have seen a neighbour with and and she ended up in hospital. She was 50 and in fairly decent health. Looked dreadful and was put on a ventilator, just for the night though and then made it home the next day. 3 days later and she was still looking pretty dreadful but she will have the best part of a week still until she is recovered.

Friends with 3/4 other people that have bought it but just the mild version as they are a lot younger so dont seem as effected.

Re: Corona Virus
 

If you only knew how silly this statement is you wouldn't have made it :s

Re: Corona Virus
 

So assuming those stats are accurate the US should just let around 1 million 60-69 year olds die and half a million 50-59 year olds? Along with maybe 30 million+ people needing hospital care over a month or 2?
