    In other words, this means the deadliness of this virus is MUCH lower than the doomsday cult would have us believe.

    This is in line with a study conducted out of California by a Stanford MD.

    Try as they might, the doomsday cult simply cannot sustain their narrative. The more evidence we get, the more wrong they are.

    But they will never admit they were wrong. They went out on a limb and now they're committed to the doomsday narrative.

    It's up to reasonable people to reject this dangerous fear-mongering so that we can get back to living like normal human beings.

    You need to learn some basic math before commenting. Here, I'll help you.

    20,000 dead divided by approximately 2.6 million infected is a mortality rate of about 0.77%.

    That means people have about a 99.23% of surviving a COVID infection.

    Let me know if you find these numbers confusing.

    Basic math doesn't bring 20,000 dead people back to life

    And doesn't stop another 20,000 from dying

    I'm 65. Stop trying to kill me

    I'm more interested to see what the doomsday cult's new line will be now that there is sufficient evidence disproving their asinine doomsday prophecies.

    Turns out, this virus was nowhere near as deadly as the doomsday cult has been claiming. They forced the global economy into a recession based on nothing but pure speculation and hysteria.

    And like they always do, they shamed and insulted anyone who dared to question their flimsy narratives.

    Basic math says this virus is not a serious threat to 99% of the population.

    If you want to hide in your house forever, then be my guest. The rest of us have lives to live.

    We need to shut down the economy for a year though over .77% of the population... Of course far more will die to to a shut down that long but you know the feelz are not as bad on that i guess.

    Yeah, it really makes you want to pull your eyeballs out, doesn't it.

    Such a waste of time. Beyond salvation.

    We've caused incalculable damage to our economy and our society based on nothing. That is the sad truth.

    Ironic coming from the alarmists who plunged the global economy into a recession over a glorified flu virus.

    They've been praying for a recession for the past 3 1/2 years and they'll do everything they can to spike the economy between now and the election regardless of how human and economic damage they cause.

    The speculation and hysteria are merely props for their politics.

    I've got a little math for everyone, too. A whopping .04% of the people in our county have contracted the WuFlu yet everyone is under house arrest until June 10. That's one helluva "pandemic" that necessitates destroying the freedom and livelihoods of all the "non-essential" flotsam and jetsam in our community.

    And whose infallible wisdom and unerring judgement is responsible for this?

    You do realize those numbers make this virus about 8x more deadly than the seasonal flu, right?

    Why you would feel the need to post a picture of black face and the KKK in this thread is beyond me.

    But there are two very significant problems with your numbers. One, we do not know the true rate of infection because there is a lack of testing for so long - and that is the explicit point of this thread. Two, the number infected is "thus far" and "with house arrest for weeks." Without the house arrest, the number of infections would be far greater as well as the number of dead.

    Finally, I would love to figure out if you have a reason for why Trump is unable to see the "truth" that you can so plainly see?

    The economy is going to stay under incredible strain until we have a proven and mass-produced vaccine.

    The results of this test are very interesting especially when coupled with the results from the testing down in a section of CA.

    I'm hoping they are testing segments of other areas as well so we can compare. I'd like to be tested once it's available in my area.

    You do realize that 8 times more deadly than next-to-nothing is still basically nothing, right?

    Anyway, the numbers will continue to come down as more testing is done. That has been the trend from the beginning. With each new tranche of data, the deadliness of the virus is revised significantly downward. By the time we have a full picture of this virus, it will be largely indistinguishable from the common flu in terms of its deadliness.

    8x more deadly than a virus which kills ~30,000-50,000 every year is a virus that kills ~240,000-400,000 every year.

    The economy will stay under incredible strain until people learn to ignore the hysterics and alarmists who keep trying to spread fear of a virus that poses virtually no threat to 99% of the population.

    IOW, the mandated economic shutdown was a partisan election cycle political scam enabled by Fake Science and Fake News.

    Now we know why the antibody testing has been stalled.
