And I disagree with the notion that a substantial amount of people will die (relative to the amount who normally die from disease)The virus has something like a 1% mortality rate with treatment, and probably more like 3-5% without treatment (which would be the relevant number for the vast majority of people if most of the country got it because we'd overwhelm the hospital system, which would also pretty much doom whoever else needed life saving treatment it in the meantime). Without control measures, each person infects something like 2.5 people on average, which means it will grow exponentially until being stopped by heard immunity when something like 60% of the population has been infected. It doesn't take a genius to understand that that's really fucking bad! --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
