Oh I get it. Do you have dyslexia?  I wrote, "the oldest person living in my house" and oldest living person in my house mean different things. The second phrase implies there are dead people in the house, while the first says there are other people living in my house. I know, it's nit-picking. But to make you happy, I'll be more precise. I am the oldest resident of my house. Better?   :)

No, dyslexia has nothing to do with understanding context and grammar, its a word blindness of sorts..it has nothing to do with general intelligence

An intelligent man like yourself should know that..

If I were an intelligent man, I might have known that. Since I didn't, I guess I'm not that intelligent after all. I do have mild dyslexia though. Are dyslexics intelligent or stupid? I don't know. Do you know?

My late wife was my editor (never on Getbig). She was great at it. Now that she's gone, I fuck up what I write all the time.

Don't you love what it says in the subject line of this thread, "We are all screwed" as if we didn't already know that. If the coronavirus doesn't screw us, something else eventually will. We are not immortal.

Here's a little ditty to cheer you up.

Note: Pro bodybuilders only live to 50 anyway so they need not fear the Corona.

Most healthy people do not die from this, is this correct?

I saw a video from an Italian hospital yesterday. The very sick patients on ventilators don't even recovery. They basically just wait to die. Terrible.

Well most of it is still locked down, traffic is still only around 10% of normal traffic there this time of year.Its also just logic, if you weld everyone Indoors, everyone with the virus either died, or recovers and wasn't around anyone else to pass it on to.Im also assuming nobody is stupid enough to voluntarily enter Wuhan at the moment who doesn't live there, or have to be there for supply chains etc.The issue will be when Wuhan is fully open again, it will only take 1 or 2 people to enter with the virus to kick it all off again and infect those who managed to avoid It the first time around, while the rest should be ok because they developed immunity.But then the virus likely is a different strain every season like flu, so the ones who developed immunity to the first Wuhan strain, won't have immunity to the 2nd.

Natural selection favours milder strains of the disease.

The thing that gets very little attention is the fact that coronaviruses have been infecting humans for donkeys years. We just pass it off as a common cold now.

Covid-19 is just the birth off a new common cold virus. Again it's natural selection taking place as evident in the people we see it taking out. If this virus happened 200 years it would barely be a footnote in history, but mankind has become soft and this is the end result.

We will get a reset after this, albeit a small one, but it's better than nothing.

Spanish flu - everyone got infected, no matter what age

Swine flu - older people were immune to it, younger people were not

Do the other strains of the coronavirus (common cold) result in an equal percentage of acute cases and deaths as does COVID-19?

When they first infected humans they were likely far more deadly than covid-19 i.e they caused death amongst many healthy individuals too, unless it started out as a very mild from the beginning.

Covid-19 will take one of two paths. Mutate into a mild strain and become seasonal or infect a large percentage of the population and disappear

150 deaths confirmed and presumptive. 330 million people, 10.5k confirmed and presumptive.

Do the math cowards.
