Look fags, can I call you all fags? Good

I started calculations a while back, and I started with a 1% death rate, with a 40% infection rate, for the US pop (330,000,000 people, roughly, according to wikipekike (en.wikipedia.org))

It gives a 1,320,000 dead

Now that's for 40% infected, if it goes 70% oh well, you get 2,310,000 dead, over a year, with 1% death rate

Problem is that nobody has a fucking clue of what the actual death rate really is, let alone for the US, it varies depending on factors such as "is your country under embargo?", "Is your country a cesspool?" "Is your country full of old farts, obeses, diabetics?" "what strain of corona did you get? The L or K?"

And again, that's only focusing on the death rate here, which is again, not the problem, like fucking not at all since day one, that's what many fail to grasp

It's like the sheer power of the left lead jab, that's not the issue with that jab, the issue is the reach and the disruptive power

To apply the analogy of the lead jab to corona, the reach is the infection rate/the spread, the disruptive power is a combination of how bad you get incapacitated (while not even in ICU, just infected and well, coughing your shit) and how many times it happens to you in a fucking year/month/week (because yeah, you get the shit over and over again). It's spam in a nutshell

I mean, let's say the death rate is 0.1%, but the infection rate is 40% of the pop. On those you get 1/3 with mild to no symptom (like just a bit of fever), and the rest is just plain sick coughing to no end with fucking fever like wow you hardly can focus on anything. You still get roughly 30% of your pop in a state ranging from sick to sick as shit. Who are those people? Politicians? Teachers? Cops? Clerks? Bankers? Admins? Soldiers?

You get the idea, it's a fucking problem if that becomes endemic

Sure you have the trumppill, but, like what? Everybody on trumpill for the rest of their days?

Edit: It's funny that shit is called corona btw. Like a beer. 4 liters of beer over a day is just funny. In about an hour that's definitely super funky to say the least https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wneMBMBZkB0

It's not a hoax. It's an outright lie. I read that some scientists estimated the actual death rate to be 0.4%, the majority of which would be people over 75 YO. That's 10% of the figure that the media loves to scare people with, 4%

I ran it by someone close to me who tends to trust authority. The answer back was 'we know it's bad because hospitals are full, medical workers are putting in overtime hours, and there's a shortage of ventilators.'

I really don't know enough to argue that authoritatively. You would think with how many people are sick with flu or die from flu on a normal year vs how many infected/dead from Wuhan, the additional strain would barely be noticeable. But people are reporting different things in different places. Maybe ventilator shortages are due to stressed supply chains rather than overuse of them, or maybe the respiratory element of this virus is a unique aspect we weren't prepped for in our normal flu season.

Either way, seems to be blown way out of proportion. But I wonder if people will ever come to terms with that. It would be so embarrassing to admit we all got fooled on this scale, so maybe that viewpoint will become just another conspiracy theory, and we'll be chided about "social distancing" and coughing into our elbows next flu season and every one after.

In most places the hospitals are not full. In my state 65% of ICU beds are occupied. How many are normally occupied? That figure was not released. Regardless that seems like a lot of available beds.

They aren't even testing most Americans. Most people with symptoms are simply told to stay home. So how are any of these projections even remotely accurate?

I'm sure places like New York City which have dense population will indeed have issues with overcrowding at hospitals. Most places however are not like New York City and there is no reason to treat the whole country the same.

I agree and his is well argued. There are some people I may just not be able to get it through to, which is frustrating.
