Yes but if we can just save one life out of 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, it's worth ending the world as we know and creating extreme hardship and even death for the rest of us.
Why is death/(death + recovered) silly? That's the only measure. Active cases have unknown resolution and are irrelevant until they resolve one way or the other.
The flaw is just in that we have so little data, which is a condemnation of our testing and follow up methods.
You cannot just ignore the cases that have not resolved, that is why it is silly. As most of the unresolved cases will survive, death/(death +recovered) will steadily decline.
So you've got plenty of time of your hands and should already be smart enough to know this isn't some global catastrophe in other words.
This pandemic was close to that, but panning out more favorable in most areas. We should all hope that the worst is behind us. But we can't yet know that.
This strain. What about the next one? Generally these viruses come on even stronger the next time around. And this one probably wont end for 6 months to a year
My Dad had a preexisting condition at the age of 45. He lived to 81. My niece is, with the exception of asthma, a healthy 28 year old. I was born with a heart murmur. Hasn’t effected me in 62 years but it is a preexisting condition.
Amazing writing off anyone who has a preexisting condition.
I assume you don’t drive a car or allow your loved ones to do so, either. Because tens of thousands will die in car crashes every year.
It’s not contagious. Hundreds of thousands would die from this virus without social distancing. The only problem with social distancing is it works. It’s critics will point at lower death tolls and ask why it was needed.
Wby do we need a massive military when no invasion of any significance has occurred in over 200 years?
