Officials say about 85% of people who contract COVID-19 see only mild symptoms, but 15% — especially older residents and those with underlying conditions

Good job killing the ecconomy for that

Everyone knows this, whether they care to admit or not. Covid was just the first step in understanding how society would react to being locked down and controlled.

What the people havent figured out is that once the economy opens is that those who do go shopping right away will be a far cry from the normal traffic. Then there are those who are so far behind on rent/bills to shop, further cutting down on profits. So you have these companies that got bailed out just enough to pay people and rent during the times they were closed but now cant get any customers. This is when the true layoffs begin, people will default on debt and it will get ugly.

The virus killed 19 out of 4849 infected US Military members.

That's a death rate of 0.0039% for people that are in good/decent shape.

Coconuts falling on people's head kill more.

Ummm... don't do math too good? That would be 0.39%, which is a substantially different number.

Sorry my bad. 0.39%. Still a pretty ****ing low number.

Lol. There was a famous Canadian cell phone billing error incident years ago where an Ameribrah in Canada got a data plan that charged him one percent of one cent per kilobyte or whatever. When they overcharged him by 100x it took him HOURS on the phone to find someone who could do simple arithmetic.

Maybe it is a Canadian thing. Covfefe.

Still well below 1%


So we should wreck the economy, wreck the American way of life, destroy liberty & personal freedom for less 1% (high end) of America possibly having severe effects from this, even if it is possibly death?

Can't tell if arguing for or against his point.

[Yurocoin]

How many people either got a suspicious fever and never reported it or are asymptomatic?
Whatever the mortality rate is, it should be assumed to be much lower.

Open the country already

And we actually don't know if any of those were old or had underlying conditions.

Open up the economy now!

[nkiritsis13]

It will be interesting to see further data on this as everything progresses, but I would not be surprised in the slightest if the majority of people would incur comparatively minor symptoms.

We continue learning more about how easy the virus is transmitted, as well as how much it can survive while remaining contagious, while not having an accurate time table as to how early the virus left China.

A difference in mere days has shown to make a substantial difference in spread throughout China during the initial outbreak, so we have an idea just how extraordinarily high the infection capacity is for COVID-19. However, we obviously do not know who specifically has come into contact with the virus and serves as a carrier, which includes those who are asymptomatic or don't bother reporting because they assume(d) a regular cold or flu.

The rapid rate of infection alone would expose an incalculable number of people, especially with the number of asymptomatic infected continuing along unbothered, yet still exposing everyone along their way to the virus. Yet, considering how the streets are not lined with dead in every country across the world, let alone at maximum capacity in every hospital, thus far reality supports the idea that most people exposed would not suffer the most severe effects if exposed.

To be clear, that is not to downplay the importance of preventative measures like cleanliness and hygiene or cautionary social distancing, but as far as pandemics go, this is a far call from the Horsemen of the Apocalypse bearing down on us all. The biggest concern really comes down to what it is about those who take the worst turn from the virus that stands out, other than the more obvious cases of the elderly or those who know they have an immune disorder. There could indeed be many people with autoimmune disorders and simply never knew it, and this would certainly raise awareness on the matter, although there could be other underlying health issues that raise susceptibility that need more research.

Stop with this chit

Businesses are failing and people are losing large amounts of money and u think it's just a government experiment

Not only that but you think it's a MASSIVE government experiment somehow coordinated by most countries on the planet

Just lol at the conspiracycel brain (or lack thereof)

[dabbmw2002]

Sorry my bad. 0.39%. Still a pretty ****ing low number.

A .39% fatality rate is high, especially for a healthy subject group. Now when you include untested asymptomatic carriers, that fatality rate would drop further

Absolutely not. This isn't about government conspiracy.

This is about biblical prophecy and the mark of the beast.

If you want to call that a conspiracy, then so be it. But what you're seeing played out today isn't by chance.

LMAO Imagine thinking this.

There's no other explanation to quarantining 100% of the population instead of laser focusing on the actual vulnerable people while keeping the economy running.

Opening the country up again shouldn't be a left/right wing view, both sides should want to see it happen.

You can't prevent 100% of the deaths from this. The treatments we have right now are the treatments we'll have for the next year. The entire goal of keeping people at home was to not overwhelm the healthcare system (have people that would otherwise live, end up dying because there aren't enough resources). This idea we need to keep people locked in their homes for months is baffling to me. At best all you're doing is delaying the deaths of people who are going to die anyway a couple weeks or months.

Somehow there's a large group of people who think we need to stay inside for many more months. For what? Those deaths aren't preventable.

[ltsOgre]

"Mild" doesn't always mean a slight cough or scratchy throat. It means everything up to and including pneumonia. It only becomes severe if you need supplemental oxygen or a ventilator.

Yet here we are...


You can never fully account for just how much most on the Left hate and despise America and the idea of American exceptionalism.

They are absolutely willing and in fact eager to use this event to reshape America into their disgusting world view of what America should be...

[Kewbrah]

2020 was the year when lefties became passionate advocates for closed borders.

[BadMonkeyFunker]

40K people died in a month. And yet here we are cucks are trying to downplay it. SMFH

[GaloisTheory]

Sorry my bad. 0.39%. Still a pretty ****ing low number.

~0.4% for healthy people (under 60) would have been worse than the numbers we had from SK and China long before we even decided to shut down.

Either way, it misses the point. The primary purpose of the shutdown/distancing was to "flatten the curve." If hospitals are packed full and you still have sick people needing ICU beds pouring in, the death rate skyrockets. It is not a fixed number.

And the right embraced Yang style sociamism and began piloting Medicare 4 All.

[ChristmasFnatic]

Those who dont show any symptoms = sure they wont die? Or will they suddenly show severe symptoms and die within the hour in the end?

Wow.

Something definitely is wrong with you.

What a hateful thing to say.

Most on the left hate and despise America?

jesus christ what a sick way to see your fellow countrymen.
