Title: Corona - 2 out of 100 chance to die. Do you take the risk?
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on April 08, 2020, 08:59:57 AM
I heard someone say that if someone gave you a jar of 100 pills and 2 were poison that no one would take the risk.  I say bullshit.  You have a better than 2% chance of dying daily from stupid things.  Your chance of death just driving to work is more than 2%.

I would gladly take the 2% risk if shit got back to normal and I wouldn't have to worry about losing my job and never selling my house.

First off, data says it's not even close to 2% unless you are old and sick already.

Corona should be the least of most people’s concerns. The economic fallout will be FAR worse. Things are really going to get ugly in this World in the coming weeks, get ready.

Yes, when we look back at this we will realize it was pointless to quarantine healthy people and destroy the economy for the little people.

The 1% and the banks got their bailouts before anyone could ask why.

Totally agree. After this attempted takeover of the US by the left, things will sting for a while. But we will survive.

According to the pharmaceutical commercials we take these odds with medications often. 

I know it’s not a 2% risk but we knowningly ingest medications that can be deadly.

That's not how Probability works.

Mortality rates are not random events. You don't have a 2% chance of dying from X just because 2 out of 100 die from X.

Do your research, if your not to old , don't have underlying health issues, your government and health system allows and has access to hydroxychloroquine and has ICU capacity where required and your not on deaths door already. Your chances of dying from coronavirus are much better than 2%.

It's like 0.5% (all ages)

Look at countries that have tested the most, South Korea and Australia are good examples. Both have low case numbers and have done heaps of testing, their mortality rates are around or less than half a percent.

This becomes massively lower if you exclude the 65+ demographic from the stats....

Corona virus is FAR from poison that could kill you. Without a SERIOUS underlying condition, you'll get the flu and a fever and in a couple years when they stop reporting Corona deaths, like they stopped reporting the same number of deaths from the seasonal flu or drunk driving, we'll all think what bullshit this all was.

Our civil liberties are being trounced plain and simple.

Philosopher Bertrand Russell wrote, “Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of great fear.” The United States is now in the grip of such a fear. It is prostrating before authoritarians in government who have waited for such a moment and now relish in ordering us indoors.

This website was all over the news touted by scientists. It's real time and as you can see it has each country broken down. This IS a reflection of current events. That is why I said it changes.

Why don't you back up your statement.

Why don't you back up your statement.

Let me explain this to your dumb ass.

you are looking at a statistic that only includes cases with an outcome..... So the 21% is people who have died over people who have recovered.

We are approaching peak infections worldwide, that means that the majority of overall infected people have only recently become infected in the last two weeks. The virus takes over two weeks to recover from.....

The number of people currently infected in a mild condition is over 95% of all positive cases (the real number is far far lower than this, below 1% as the number of cases worldwide is much greater than the number of people that have actually tested positive. Whereas deaths not accounted for are on the other hand rare.

So not only does that stat not Account for the vast majority of current mild cases that will soon recover, it also doesn't account for the much greater number of recovered positive and asymptomatic cases that were never tested for. This is why it is clearly grossly inaccurate at this time.

Who cares if it's outcomes only? It's still a good representation of things to come. Continue following this site and you'll see some clear patterns. And as the third world countries start to see the spread you'll see just how good us first world blokes have it.

The only thing even worth remotely looking at on that site is the daily death rates per country. Even that needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, but it gives you some idea of what stage of the peak each country might be at.

I was all set for this. Maybe it's coming. Maybe it's just becaue I'm in Western Aus where there's no kick off.  But these numbers? Pfff.

Turns out I'm living in a police state for no reason at all. More people have died of heart attacks. Diabetes shit. Fucking meningococcal encephalitis has probably killed more over the same period.

Don't get me wrong. I'm mostly glad there aren't millions dead. And I'm gonna keep super cautious until the jury is well and truly in on this thing. But this isn't looking to be as advertised if these corpses represent The Peak. There's a little part of me that was all Mad Max World ready. Now he's just all blue balled and being like "Well, at least we have a lot of frozen steaks and scotch whiskey." Man, what a fuckin gyp.

Seems like a nice practice run and blueprint for the government and military to take over the entire country under martial law.

I looked at that site.  It's good for specific info, no doubt (assuming it's accurate).

Being that routine testing is practically nonexistent, though, you must keep things like "total cases" and "new cases" in proper perspective.  That, in turn, renders the site/page into something different than what it was probably intended to be - a portal into insanity.

But check out Sweden and other places that didn't follow that weaselly ratlike "doctor" who keeps bothering the rest of us.  Maybe the whole truth can be found after all.

It's the best tool we have right now and more than one scientist has been giving it accolades for information. I like it. I check it multiple times per day. Just wait until this virus ravishes 3rd world refugee camps.

Of course not. I'm a Getbigger only online at a computer. Not at heart.

There was a Boris Johnson thread where someone took my post  to mean that I wanted him dead. I insinuated I hope he died without actually saying it. I don't remember what I actually posted now. They actually sent me a PM regarding it. I definitely don't think he's a capable leader and I think he's a corrupt douchebag, but I don't actually want him to die. Especially of this.

However I can't help but think the economic fallout will cause more death and destruction than the actual virus itself.

I think this all sucks and wouldn't wish it on anyone. Especially our most vulnerable population; seniors. Let them enjoy their last few years without worrying about this.
