Yeah that’s a legit concern. People are and will continue to die due to overloading infrastructure. I should care about that but it’s just not hitting close enough to home. It’s like how I don’t freak out about the 650k people that die of cancer each year
I’m aware that’s the purpose. But then I’d say if you don’t have it, you can’t spread it. And I know you’ll come back with - “you can have it for up to two weeks with no symptoms. Better safe than sorry”. And then I’d just come back with - I’m already social distancing which I think is annoying enough. I’m not going to feed into more of the fear over this pandemic.
Predicting someone's argument doesn't make you less wrong.
Wake I genuinely think that on some level you're freaking out, and consciously trying to convince yourself not to. I'm not freaking out either but I'm not going around spewing ignorance in an effort to show everyone how cool and collected I am. Not caring about people that can die from this - fine. Be a piece of shit. But actively being condescending towards people who do actually have valid concerns and close ones who are at risk - congrats on just being a retard.

I didn’t feel I was being condescending to anyone except maybe MC who I’m convinced is trolling now. If Idk... Apologies that it came off that way. I’m not at all freaking out however I am very irritated over the whole situation so that might be what you are picking up.
you're comparing dead people versus alive people who have recovered without including the, probably at this point millions, of people who are not "cured" yet, but will recover.
i get what you are comparing, and why your brain is seeing it as 30% of people die. It makes sense when you look at the numbers the way you are, but its simply not correct.
It takes up to 3 weeks to recover. while you could die the second day you are diagnosed.
You are correct, you need to compare recovered vs dead, but those numbers will not show the correct death total until you have years and years of data.

(This is to MC... just adding to what Rex said) The recovered number are those that need incubator/ICU and come off it and recover..... if you get it the percentage you actually need to go on a incubator is like 1% with current numbers and likely way way less due to under testing.

here’s an interesting stat I just noticed... USA has given 2x the number of tests than Germany (the country that has given the second most tests), yet we have 4x the number of cases. I wonder why
It's probably because Americans are usually stupid and don't care about anyone else but themselves. It's why people still aren't listening to stay at home orders

@Rex_Capone420 and others. You should really read this article below. Very interesting!!! Note though that idk this persons credentials and it could be total bullshit. It sure does sound right though and if anything it’s an incredible read. Well worth it

this is a pretty good article about what Covid-19 is actually doing to the human body and how our treatments currently may be incorrect.
Ill post a more in depth one below.
The 2% people come up with is death vs everyone who has it. Not people cured. When you compare death to cures, the death rate is closer to 30%
It takes up to 3 weeks to recover. while you could die the second day you are diagnosed.
You are correct, you need to compare recovered vs dead, but those numbers will not show the correct death total until you have years and years of data.
