Another new study blows holes in the fear factor narrative the left is promoting

[LordBrownTrout]

why is the death rate such an import topic of conversation?

Because being TRUTHFULLY informed allows you to make risk based decisions with confidence rather than knee jerk emotional responses.
I get that the virus hit someone you know and so you're emotionally invested. But that emotional investment does not negate that we MUST make decisions based on the facts not the speculation of fear of the unknown.
Our species would have gone extinct by now had we acted this way over risks before.

Yeah but you have to look at all the data and base decisions off of that, rather then cherry-pick one specific piece of data to guide you. Besides we don’t have conclusive data on the death rate. What we do know is 2k ppl a day are dying.

The data regarding the risk % is the only data that should matter with regards to economic activity. You keep parroting the damn death toll as if it is the be all end all. Fact is if you remove a couple of the bug cities from the equation then the virus is impotent percentage wise. Most of the nation does not live like sardines in a can like they do in those cities. That is why those cities are sick.
In Missouri we have 6+ million residents and just over 200 deaths. Does shutting down make sense based on those numbers to you?

It is you people who keep cherry picking the worst numbers from the worst hit areas.

Exactly correct. Low population areas are not being hit as hard. You would think some people could figure basic common sense out but...........no.

It is you people who keep cherry picking the worst numbers from the worst hit areas. Then when we show the REAL infection rate of those areas y'all wanna play semantics.

well I agree with you that there should be different approaches in respect to different states. Density isn’t the only factor in the infection rate however. Otherwise Jersey would be in worse shape than New York.

How come LA and San Francisco aren’t doing as bad as NY? My guess would be New York is the traveling epicenter of the world as being more of a factor than population density. Having said that they’re are other variables to consider, but just to strengthen my case, look at South Korea. They are a highly densely populated area and are very close to where the outbreak started, yet the virus is contained

Real death rate is 0.58%... slightly above three times that of the common flu.

It's lower than that. It's more like 0.1% to 0.2%.

Fifty-thousand AMERICANS have died. Go away Canadian!!!!!!!

How come LA and San Francisco aren’t doing as bad as NY?

They were at about 70 degrees and 20% humidity and it appears they had the infection starting in mid to late January. This is a very sunny time and low humidity time for California so it spread slowly. According to random sampleing they have about 20% penetration into the populace.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Something like 60-80 percent never receive any symptoms and never get sick. Probably over 50-80 million infected in the US but will never get sick.

What do they call people who aren't sick and have no symptoms?

Ohhh healthy! That's right.
