And people are dropping like flies in new york

We have roughly 640,000 infected if I did muh math right

Nobody knows the extent until we have an antigen test

They are using an exponential function to determine the infected. Not hard to figure that out.

Also Italy has one of the most robust medical support systems in Europe, their lockdown is working to slow the rate of infection currently. Say goodbye to grandma and grandpa

Take a solid look at Hong Kong and Portugal, they are kicking it's ass ...know why? They are richer.....know what we are compared to Italy?

And most of Europe

If you think the US is "kicking it's ass" then you are sorely mistaken

Yes we will get through it, the idea is to minimize loss of life

I'm not sure where you got that we are kicking it's ass, of course we aren't fucking socialists socialized the medical industry

Which could be in the millions by the end of this year

Again we won't know until we have home antigen tests

Dude.....there are 20 thousand deaths worldwide.

I believe the number is 22,156 as of now.

Spanish influenza had a 1% mortality rate and killed 70 million people, this is more contagious than that

This is disregarding the possibility of a second wave

Ok? We can't even get a fatality rate because we aren't testing everybody....only the severe. Not even the mild cases get tested here.

Although the r0 is 6

Higher than the Spanish flu

Yeah we don't have an antigen test so we don't even know the deaths that have occurred have been because of it because testing is shit

Hot take

^^^

Every believable scientific figure shows the CFR as higher than 1 percent

Yes we will get through it but we have to flatten the curve

Dude, do you watch Fox news?

No I have been following this pandemic since literally day 1 before there were any cases outside of China

I have too, on paper not news.

Yeah do you know who Dr. John Campbell is?

Lol here we go with the "if you don't know such and such your point is irrelevant"

Every epidemiological evaluation of the virus shows a 20% critical or fatal infection rate

Did you know taking ibuprofen increases fatality rates?

What about elderberry gummies or syrup?

The health systems in the richest countries in the world cannot provide 20% of the population with beds, nurses, oxygen tanks etc. That's how you die from something like the flu. You wait in a hospital waiting room but can't get your oxygen tank so you fucking die. That's what causes the case fatality rate rise when people bum rush healthcare institutions with critical cases

Richest *most regulated countries in the world

unless either of you have a degree or a crystal ball, id say the 3 of us have next to no actual arguments as to virology and shouldn't clog up a general board with an argument based on inconclusive numbers

He started it lol

I was just talking about a plate carrier

I pointed out it's not that dangerous.

If anyone here should be scared it's me, I'm immunocompromised.

Fuck did I walk in on?

Big guy is scared of flu-man chu
