We already have 3 times the number of 911 dead. How shell shocked were you from that? If your candidate is losing, it's because you didn't put enough flags on your truck. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 147 Posts: 11240 | Perhaps if we took the dead, put them into a car, and launched them into an intersection at each other, it would seem more ordinary. If your candidate is losing, it's because you didn't put enough flags on your truck. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 147 Posts: 11240 | Here's another one. We build a platform across a canyon. It has a hundred marked trap doors. You pick any path you want always able to avoid some doors. You have to stand on each trap door you pick. One door will send you to your death if you pick wrong. How much money would it take for you to take the risk? edit, actually this last one isn't exactly similar. If your candidate is losing, it's because you didn't put enough flags on your truck. |

What math did you do to get your less than 1% death rate. Seems like something you pulled out of your hat. Currently we have 1.27 million confirmed/recovered cases in the world and 69K deaths for a rate of over 5%. I expect this is high since we still don't have a handle on how many people have had mild symptoms and never been diagnosed, hopefully that is a very large number. We also don't yet know what percentage of people will never get the virus through natural immunity or no exposure, many of the "experts" put that number in the range of 50%. The really scary number right now which hopefully is simply the result of the world not getting a handle on things fast enough is the current death rate of those people that were positively diagnosed and are now either considered virus free or died. This number world wide is 330K the 69K deaths are 21% of this number. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Because he is looking at it the proper way. What percentage of the population will die from this virus? When we get to 3.5 million deaths in the U.S. that will be about 1%. As I have said before, until 1% of the population die I really can't even take this seriously. When we get to 10 million dead in the u.s. I will start believing this is more serious than I thought. We are all going to die, why procrastinate? |

I posted several weeks ago that I thought a the final total of deaths would be in the 1% range. Very few people want to even think about a number that high because the MSM keep giving out raw numbers without context. Percentages are what we should be reporting. But to get back to my original post should we just pull a number out of our hat the and say I believe this without any context or back-up. My 1% number as I originally stated is based on 2% mortality and 50% of the population eventually getting Covid. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 116 Posts: 3066 | There are articles out there by more than one person pointing out how this is confusing. The <1% that I am talking about *includes* people who don't have symptoms or don't have them bad enough to be hospitalized, something you point out yourself. I still am thinking that <1% is what the final analysis will say; I may be proved wrong. These mild case people are not counted now except maybe in South Korea. My point is more to what happens if we get something worse rather than downplaying the current situation. too powerful, too liberal: academia,media,Hollywood, big-tech oligarchs,big nonprofits, deep state |

Hey, an even bigger death toll on the Trump presidency. All he was doing was reversing climate change initiative. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/feb/09/fossil-fuels-pollution-deaths-research If your candidate is losing, it's because you didn't put enough flags on your truck. |
