    Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

    The “normal” flu has killed over 20,000 this season already....to put things into perspective[quoted image]

    Your use of that road death statistic is irresponsible and misleading, that is the number WORLDWIDE. In the US, 33,000 killed in a year.

    Now compare to the Coronavirus projections, which are what, 700,000 to 1,000,000+ deaths in the US if we dont act? Even more than that if the hospitals go beyond capacity? Suddenly having 10x or 20x or 100x more road deaths is the equivalent here.

    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    If 100k+ people have it in states like Ohio and only ~30 people have died, mortality is well below even .1% more like .03% that's very very minimal.

    Re: the 100,000 thing, I dont know if that's actually the case. But what the public health officials are getting is that the number of people with it currently is larger than the number currently tested positive, for one, because testing has been limited, and two, because there are a number of people who have it, but have not started showing symptoms or been affected.

    My thoughts: were going to see big increases in the number of confirmed cases in the coming days, and you'll eat your words. These are just my thoughts, I'm not an expert. I hope I am wrong, and things improve.

    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    If we do see huge increased then I won't be eating my words because I just explained that would be a GOOD thing.
    If there are tens of thousands of UNDIAGNOSED cases RIGHT NOW, then those people are experiencing symptoms MILD enough that they are functioning just FINE and DIDN'T need to go to a hospital. So with large testing batches we discover MANY people are afflicted but AREN'T DEAD then the disease isn't as severe as we first thought. Hopefully this basic concept makes sense to you

    How's about this notion... people have it, or get it, and they are not yet recovered... they can still become deaths. Hopefully this basic concept makes sense to you.

    Theres no point in arguing with you, clearly. Go out and lick door knobs if you feel things are fine?
