You guys are a bunch of Chicken Littles! If President Trump & Wall Street aren't worried about this.....I'm not worried about this.

Re: Coronavirus
The raw data will tell you that more people contract and die from the flu. ~14,000 people have died due to the flu this season. Pneumonia and Influenza mortality is at 6.8%, to date. ~2,000 have died due to Coronavirus. Looking at the percentage of infected vs deaths is nice. But I think looking at the raw numbers is more meaningful and tells a better story. Yeah, 2% and 1/50 is nice to know. But If we're dealing with 40M+ infections vs less than 100k, then we get a more complete picture.Chizzang wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 5:44 pmCorona has a 2% mortality rate...Ibanez wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 1:50 pm
This has already been debunked. You're probably going off the seasonal mortality percentage and not the actual rates. Millions infected. 10s of 1000s die each season. As a percentage of the infected population, yeah it's low. But in overall deaths, the flu has been killing for centuries. Where was this virus last year or the year before?
1-in-50 Corona virus contractions dies
So... you might want to check your math
I believe flu deaths are about 1-in-1,000
When I look at the data for failures at work, I never just look at what % of the machines had to be rebuilt or whatever. The whole population, especially when you look at specific subsets of the population (Win7 vs Win10) can tell you so much more than 2% of machines were infected.

Re: Coronavirus
No it ain't the flu, and I guess you have a point in that comparing two viruses is like comparing apples to VW Beetles.Chizzang wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 6:59 pmif it stays anywhere near 1-in-50 death rate that makes it incredibly lethal by any standardJohnStOnge wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 5:57 pm
I think the 1 in 50 thing is probably wrong because it appears that there are a lot of asymptomatic infections. In other words, I think it's likely that the total number of infections is being dramatically undercounted right now. Whether counting all of the infections would get it down to 1 in 1,000 is something we'll have to see.
In any case, I think the safe bet is that the various strains of influenza combined will kill a lot more people this year than this coronavirus does. Even if the death rate is lower the infection rate is just so much higher. At this point in the United States alone we've had an estimated 14.000 people die from he flu during the 2019-2020 flu season.
the kicker for me was the part where in patients over 60 yrs old mortality rate was 8% (4-in-50)
and in toddlers is 1-in-4 mortality rate![]()
