This is why, when people say “its only a 1 % death rate”
A 1% mortality rate might not seem like much, but the death rate for COVID-19 is just the tip of a massive iceberg that the US economy is heading towards full-steam ahead.
For every one person who dies:
19 more require hospitalization.
18 of those will have permanent heart damage for the rest of their lives.
10 will have permanent lung damage.
3 will have strokes.
2 will have neurological damage that leads to chronic weakness and loss of coordination.
2 will have neurological damage that leads to loss of cognitive function.
So now all of a sudden, that “but it’s only 1% fatal!” becomes:
3,282,000 people dead.
62,358,000 hospitalized.
59,076,000 people with permanent heart damage.
32,820,000 people with permanent lung damage.
9,846,000 people with strokes.
6,564,000 people with muscle weakness.
6,564,000 people with loss of cognitive function.
"The choice is not 'ruin the economy to save 1%.' If we reopen the economy, it will be destroyed anyway. The US economy cannot survive everyone getting COVID-19."
It's almost hilarious. Not in like a ha ha pandemic shit I'm not wake. I mean I thought I had a very problematic 2019 and shit was wild then. Never did I think 2020 would come around and make all of those issues I had so irrelevant with something like this. It's insane and we're just over the half way point of the year. This thing could literally get 100× worse.
They shouldn't be going back to school imo. Around here they're talking about going 5 days a week and not even making the kids wear masks in any grade level (just optional).
Whats going to happen when 1 teacher has 6 classes of 30 kids and tests positive? All those kids get 14 days off? What about the teacher, are they getting paid sick day for that?
Meanwhile in NZ.... life is back to normal. Its currently school holidays and I'm on a winter vacation in the south island. If any of you fags have IG let me know and I can bore you with my photos of snow and shit and you can hate me even more
Michigan’s gov big gretch hasnt done everything right, but i dont think you can find a politician that does. Michigan is in a pretty good spot thanks to her actions. We were one of the worst states at the beginning. We got lucky but it is driving me insane seeing the country throw all that away. Were such ignorant people.
