so like
either of them get it, it's over
and even though i've lost weight i'm still in the threshold for being at risk because of my obesity
Yeah my dad is early sixties, overweight, diabetic, his heart is in shitty condition and he smoked for like 25 years. He quit like 16 years ago though. That helps a ton.
those first 4 put him at huge risk, keep him safe man
covid has been observed to damage the lungs, heart, and i believe kidneys
He lives like an 8 minute drive from civilization, so he's fairly isolated at least.
***laughs in 3 hour drive into town***
but yeah thats good
Buddy of mine is in his mid thirties but his lungs are absolutely ruined.
yeah
it certainly isn't a 98% survival rate, but if you are young and healthy with no pre-existing anything and you don't drink or smoke you have good odds but it can still kill you. you aren't invincible
6% lethality in the states rn
muuuch higher in other places

@Bender
It is tho. Sorry but math dont lie
no it isn't
6% lethality means that 94% recover
you can't have a 6% lethality and a 98% recovery rate, that math doesnt check out
The death rate vs the population as a whole is under .1%
These are the facts
you can't have over 100%
and they certainly aren't factoring in those who have died at home
in all reality, we're never really going to be able to compare the true number of deaths until we are able to take the amount of people who died in 2019 and compare it to the amount of people who died in 2020
that will be the only concrete number in the end
The only way to measure lethality is the number of deaths vs the population. We have no idea how many people have the virus. So the only information is total population and total deaths. The numbers simply dont lie. Look them up if you want but I don't need to know that 40k dead in a nation of 320 million is NOT 6%. Or 1%.
it's 80k
Allegedly
Fine. Call it 140k. Still not 1%
I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
ok but we don't compare it to the amount of healthy people for a reason
Shit, even with the worst projections at 2 million, youre still not at 1%
this virus has been around for like 6 months, it's been picking up speed in the US for 2
Deaths divided by the sick = mortality rate
which, right now, is 6%
According to whomst'd?

> ok but we don't compare it to the amount of healthy people for a reason
@Bender
And that reason is to create panic and confusion in people that don't understand that saying it kills 6% means 6% of the 1 million they have tested. Not a 6% lethality
On a side note props to you guys for being mature
it kills 6% of people who get it
it has a lethality rate
of 6%
