Some of the shit on these boards blows my fucking mind. Forget numbers.... you can skewer them however you want either direction.
The reality is this. There is a virus called covid19. It is causing people to become ill. It is causing significant problems in a fair portion of infected people. Those people may end up in the ICU. At some point as this virus continues to spread, patients could outpace resources, and lives will be lost, unnecessarily.
This is beyond numbers and deals with reality. The media coverage is certainly overblown, but there are truths at play here that some feel the need to ignore, possibly because it makes them uncomfortable, or because they're just flat out fucking stupid.
It won't be so easy when this shit hits home and the doctors are forced to make decisions to save grandmom who is 90, mom who is 65, or the 4 year old kid. Guess what... talk to any doctor and on a good day they may have to make those decisions, and guess who they're going to save in almost all instances?
All because the shallow end of the gene pool can't give up their "rights" to go to the bar, congregate on beaches, etc... all because it doesn't effect them. Wake the fuck up, with rights come responsibilities.

I work in an industry where the majority of people will always be between 25-35, college educated, highly social with advanced salaries. I think they may look outwardly and wonder who is on the shallow end of the gene pool.
They are in the hunt for connection and intimacy like many on this board. They have never been "offline" or alone since their first phone. They are being told not to socialize or congregate for the first time in their life even though this is Spring Break week. All this to preserve a group of mostly older people that disparage their generation at every turn in the media?
The fact is they will survive this and other groups may not. Disparaging them will not change their behavior.

Here's some summarized data that is about 1 month old from China. It is the largest pool of data because they had the most cases:
DEATH RATE by AGE
DEATH RATE by AGE
- 80+ years old - 14.8%
- 70-79 years old - 8.0%
- 60-69 years old - 3.6%
- 50-59 years old - 1.3%
- 40-49 years old - 0.4%
- 30-39 years old - 0.2%
- 20-29 years old - 0.2%
- 10-19 years old - 0.2%
- 0-9 years old - no fatalities
the no deaths for babies fascinates me still. I'm so used to seeing all these things with flu and what not, where the usual suspects are the very young and the very old.
I'm closest thing i ever took to biology was Sex ED, due to changing schools. So I'm no expert. But i'm still wondering if there is something there to be learned, like some protection kids have that we dont and that maybe there is help there somewhere.

I'm guessing you're referring to this report which is alarming.

Not the article I saw but similar. My point above was China is an enemy not a friend and for that matter my TV, shirt, etc are not made in china and I have a flip phone. If
we want to buy products from China thats fine but lets not have them make medicines, medical equipment, etc. The trade is still to one sided even with there increased
purchases.

I work in a supermarket. 50 % of the customers are seniors. They come in buying 30 dollars worth of groceries. Sometimes 3 days or more a week so obviously they have supplies at home. They dont seem to be worried about the being around the general public but the healthy should quarantine themselves in their homes.
