I'm with ya man. They are saying 2 to 3% that get this virus will die. Like I said the experts also claimed this virus is 3x stronger then your average flu bug..

Younger people have died from this already.. So pick 2 or 3 numbers out of 100 blind and have a friend chose a number that you don't know and see if it lands.. Those are your odds based on the percentages especially if you are older.

The problem with the 2-3% is that as of now the only people being tested are individuals that are very sick and have either traveled to an affected area or had contact with someone that traveled there. Ifs fair that the cdc set those parameters but it limits the sample size and only a few deaths will cause a huge bias in the mortality rate

Now that we’re seeing community spread, they’ll start easing the restrictions on who gets tested and that 2-3% will plummet. We’ll likely see mortality rates similar to a very bad flu year.

Given there is no vaccination against this it’s not surprising the mortality rate will be higher, but there is a 0% chance it stays at 2-3%. It wont even be at 1% when all is said and done, likely 2-3x higher than the average flu mortality rate

Actually it is different in certain degrees.
Why do you think CDC and WHO is taking this more serious versus the flu?

Because it was a previously unidentified strain of cornoavirus. There is no vaccine.

There are flu vaccines.

"it is different in certain degrees"...whatever dude.

Are you trolling now or just not interested in learning something new here?

not trolling brother, are you aware that the CDC hasn’t given test kits to hospitals even though the symptoms are there of corona virus, it’s frustrating to medical directors because they can’t treat the pt correctly, however the CDC cannot provide the test kits.
so not sure if they are downplaying the number of possible positive cases or they don’t have enough test kits which I think is unacceptable.

Fair enough, but, many, many in the US will get sick from it, get better, and pass it on without ever knowing it. Test kits won't do much but help contain it, if that, as the supportive care is the same no matter the diagnosis and there is no vaccine yet.

I think it helps if you understand that viruses spread around the world, it happens.

It happens every year, it's seasonal, and it kills people. You know there's an EBOLA outbreak that killed 66% of the people it infected over the last 2 years, right? At least it's not spreading around the world.

Corona virus is nothing, so many more have it and survive than ever make the stats, making the death toll lower than we think.
This is the scary shit, but at least this outbreak is dwindling...

As of 3 March 2020, a total of 3444 EVD cases were reported from 29 health zones (Table 1, Figure 2), including 3310 confirmed and 134 probable cases, of which 2264 cases died (overall case fatality ratio 66%). Of the total confirmed and probable cases, 56% (n=1927) were female, 28% (n=973) were children aged less than 18 years, and 5% (n=171) were health care workers.

I really hope you are right, brother... I do.
It gets worrisome for me, because I personally know people that are close to me taking care of this patients.

So far it is a new flu with no vaccine. Killing old and sick folks first.
If the acceleration continues we may have a problem, Houston.

I was thinking about this very thing. I was going to start a thread "How much would you have to be paid to be deliberately infected with the Coronavirus?"

If I knew I couldn't get it twice... I wouldn't mind getting it right away so I could get it over with and not have to think about it anymore.

Can include fat chicks and illegals to that mix today.

I'm old school when it was respectable...

My list would be -

Earl Cambell
Bruce Matthews
Warren Moon.
Mike Munchak.
Ray Childress.
Elvin Bethea.
Robert Brazile.
George Webster

So what are they saying about reinfection and anti bodies

Word is immunity is short term or is that just rumor?

Scary

I’d do it for the low. Probably $120.

More die of flu by farrrrrrrr

**pologq** · 03-06-20, 12:34 PM

most mild and less mild cases are not even tested. those people have a cold if anything and fight it and are able to deal. the death rate is less than the news is showing as someone mentioned. the news loves anything spun to be in their favor as we all know.

not saying this is not serious but am saying the percentages are created for an overreaction.
