People are actually this dumb. When you surround yourself with the intelligent members of society for too long, you start to forget what "average" human intelligence actually means.

It's also unfortunate that our public school system is so heterogenous in its efficacy.

So most likely the actual death rate is 0.06% (6 in 10 000) based on the only sample we have of an entire population group being tested. The death rate of the regular flu is 10 in 10 000. And of this 0.06% who die, 90% of them are over 70, and 80% of them have 2 or more chronic diseases. Less than 1% of them were normal, healthy people.

1% of 0.06% = 6 in 1 000 000

So if the average miscer catches it, your chance of dieing is less than 1 in 100,000.

The breakdown of Coronavirus deaths are from here:

10/3700 passengers.

Or will it spread faster in America than it did on a ****ing boat?

There have been 6,820 deaths allegedly from (really "with") Coronavirus in Italy.

Italy isn't lying, right -- we can trust those numbers (unlike Iran.)

This is the poster child for America, and specifically NY and CA. It is informing our response. It is a horrible, frightening scenario and one we must avoid, therefore we are locking down cities, claiming "major disaster" status and all sorts of other things.

Ok.

Fact: 633,000 people died in Italy in 2018.

So Coronavirus, in the worst-hit Western nation in the world, has managed to kill about 1% as many people as die on an ordinary basis in Italy -- and that assumes that Coronavirus actually caused all those deaths (hint: it didn't.)

Let's further assume before this is over that number doubles.

So Coronavirus will have killed two percent of all the people who die from all causes in Italy over a year's time.

Two percent!

Given this fact should we:

1. Continue to sacrifice our economy for an escalation in death rate of 2% over what it is otherwise.

or

2. Immediately re-open our economy

You choose America, because that really is what we're talking about. Remember, Italy supposedly blew it, they're the worst case, they overloaded their medical system, people died for lack of a vent, etc.

Yet these are the numbers.

Now choose.

I'm on board that this thing is overblown, BUT, your numbers are deceiving and dishonest.

633,000 deaths a year equals out to an average of 1735 deaths a day.

They are currently experiencing 50% more deaths per day than usual due to the coronavirus. Its not good bro.

No one ever think THEY are going to be part of the statistics.
