Sorry guys, is this where I come to complain about that disease that appears only to affect politicians, and celebrities that suck?

[Dr Thrumpkinz]

This is big time horrible guys!
I'm going to miss Tom Hanks and my Prime Minister so effing much.

I don't feel like it's being down played. People have been cautioned, wash their hands, stay home if they're sick. Encouraging hoarding behavior and causing panic isn't the way to go, period. I don't know what more people want?

When it comes to testing I think a major part of the problem is: people that aren't vulnerable/subseptable to disease are clogging up the lines/hospitals with their basic bitch symptoms instead of just staying home, recovering there (because they're healthy enough to fight it at home without medical intervention....) not potentionally exposing themselves... and anyone else unnecessarily.

just some facts based on probability. if you are under 65, dont have a compromised immune system and you catch the coronavirus...you chances of dying are actually 0.7%.

here is the math(s) to prove it, for those who care, there is a link below explaining the whole thing:

Coronavirus and Probability — The media must learn how to report statistics now

With widespread panic around COVID-19, the media must learn the difference now between two hugely different statistics.

basically, the TL:DR version is: There is a difference between conditional and unconditional probability. A huge one. "Learn what an unconditional probability tells you. When we hear about a mortality rate of 3.4%, what we are actually being told is that of all the people who have contracted COVID-19, 3.4% of them have died (past tense). It does not mean that in a room of 100 people with covid, 3 people will die. Unconditional probabilities can tell us about the past and can tell us simple statistics that leave out important and vital information. Unconditional probabilities should never be used to make claims about the future."

also "For the media: Stop reporting unconditional probabilities. Instead try: “less than 1% of those contracting COVID-19 who are under the age of 65 have died” or “less than 1% of people without underlying health conditions have died from COVID-19”. Of course, this risks separating readers by age and health, but it’s a start."

This phylogeny shows evolutionary relationships of HCoV-19 viruses from the ongoing novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. All samples are still closely related with few mutations relative to a common ancestor, suggesting a shared common ancestor some time in Nov-Dec 2019. This indicates an initial human infection in Nov-Dec 2019 followed by sustained human-to-human transmission leading to sampled infections.

Site numbering and genome structure uses Wuhan-Hu-1/2019 as reference. The phylogeny is rooted relative to early samples from Wuhan. Temporal resolution assumes a nucleotide substitution rate of 5 × 10^-4 subs per site per year.

Seattle cluster came from China.
California and Wisconsin cluster came from China.
Washington cluster came from South Korea.
NY cluster came from Iran.
So none from the EU. Maybe way later but still allow the U.K flying to the U.S and other countries but not EU countries is b.s.
Not to mention domestic flights still going on that can spread the virus.

if you are under 65 and dont have a compromised immune system and you get the coronavirus, the conditional (meaning, you are confirmed to have it currently) probability of you dying from the coronavirus is 0.7%.

the unconditional probability of dying from the virus is 3.4%.....which means 'of the people who have gotten it, 3.4% HAVE died'...not 'if you get it, 3.4% WILL die'.

if the majority of those people have been over 65 or have had compromised immune systems....then that should be noted. if you arent in those groups, the probability of you dying from the coronavirus is around 0.7%

How much do you guys wanna bet that we all have the Corona virus. The same gaylords that invented the test for it have been giving it to us for years.
Korky Byron found out about it, and was on his way to let the beans out of the bag when they exploded that sweet angel's helicopter and small portion of his daughters.
