b_m_b_m_b_m Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Like how is this hard to understand? We're governed by incompetence, we have no paid sick leave, and even with insurance simply getting tested for the virus can put you at risk of thousands of dollars in debt when most Americans can't afford a $400 emergency. So sorry I'm saying fuck off to horrible advice that, best case using the Chinese numbers, would kill nearly 20,000 Americans and make 400,000 sick. And it's not over, there's plenty of room to grow.

CitizenVectron Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 20 minutes ago, AbsolutSurgen said: Why don't you lay it out for me then. The flu has a mortality rate of around 0.1% in the US, and infects up to 45 million Americans each year. On a given year, 12,000 to 65,000 will die in the US. COVID-19 is 5x to 30x as deadly as the common flu, and 2-3 times as contagious. So if it infects 2x as much and is 5x as deadly, then you are looking at 450,000 dead in the US. That is a reasonable estimate based on the current figures. Could be lower, could be higher (hopefully lower as more non-symptomatic cases are confirmed). But even the best-case scenario is much worse than the flu, and this is on top of the deaths caused by the flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are governed by incompetence (and, arguably, have been since Bill Clinton left office). That doesn't change the risk to most Americans going out continuing to do their daily routine every day. There will be/are pockets where more extreme measures are needed. However, if you are dramatically changing your daily routine (other than washing your hands, keeping your hands away from your face, etc.) in Ohio (with 3 confirmed cases) right now -- you are overreacting.

Do you even understand we just don't have testing capacity/are not testing in total to the degree that South Korea does every single day? The real concern is that the experience in Italy is looking a week or two into the future here in the US, but compounded by a lack of paid sick leave and for profit health insurance.
