https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/30/health/coronavirus-lower-death-rate/index.html

"The research, published in the medical journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases, estimated that about 0.66% of those infected with the virus will die."

"When undetected infections aren't taken into account, the Lancet study found that the coronavirus death rate was 1.38%, which is more consistent with earlier reports."

"That number, though, went up in older adults, with approximately 7.8% of those 80 or older estimated to die after infection. And deaths were estimated to be exceedingly rare in children younger than 9, with a fatality rate of just 0.00161%."

Yet all I see on media websites is "12 year old dies! Toddler dies! Child dies!" to drum up fear mongering. With this report, it is obvious that the majority of the people in this country should get back to work, while those of us who are immune depressed, or over the age of 65, should stay back home. Those who live or take care of 65+ year olds should either take heavy precautions, or should be ordered inside as well.

This is getting ridiculous.

My theory is for months has been that it's way more widespread and less deadly than is being reported

The idea is we know we'll get infected, we can't overburden our health care providers by getting infected all at once.

Stay at home and get it later.

I had a coworker pass away from it over the weekend. She was 53. Once it hits closer to home your attitude will change.

https://www.health.com/condition/cold-flu-sinus/how-many-people-die-of-the-flu-every-year

"Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year."

Covid-19 is horrible, and wreaking havoc across certain countries, but it's death rate is around 30k right now. It's particularly bad in a country who has the oldest population, and who smokes the most, so the numbers shouldn't be too surprising. It's tragic, yes, but the flu has claimed WAY more lives.

The problem is we are tracking who lives and who dies. We aren't taking anything else into account. Did that 85 year old have a triple bypass last year? Is that 90 year old able to walk? Did the 55 year old just survive cancer? The media is tracking this with numbers, mostly using the color red, and it is working. We are huddled in our homes watching their every broadcast.

Frankly, this is getting tiresome for us who want to get out and work and support our families.

You can look at the timeline of hospital overflows if you're not yet convinced of reality

Honestly, I have a feeling a lot of those hospitalizations are people who may feel sicker than usual, and just go to the hospital because this virus has so much hype behind it. They get treated a couple days, and are told to go home as they recover quicker than others.

Frankly, we'd be better off if we didn't hype this thing to kingdom come, so every barely symptomatic person wouldn't come flooding into the hospital, causing it to spread in a vulnerable place.

Also that is still a death rate rate several times worse then in the average flu season.

The amount of people especially Gen Z who aren't taking this seriously will feel like shit once it hits someone they know. That's when people will be like whoa...

I can't believe there are still people out there not following guidelines to stay at home. This morning I seen videos from a few days ago at people having a street party in New Orleans and another church gather. FFS.

Now, hold on a minute just there. You have a feeling, a feeling, that hospitals are being overburdened because you feelnot think, not know, but feelthat suddenly everybody's become a hypochondriac?

I don't understand the part where people are like "the media is creating fear". Ah...they are reporting confirmed numbers so the public can be aware. Do people NOT know the definition of "PANDEMIC"??? Shit like this and super natural disaster happen. It hasn't happened in a long ass time, but we all know we are due for them. Scientists have been saying this for a few years now.

Trump whines like a bitch saying past presidents fucked up cause they didn't prepare for this even though his administration was also aware a pandemic could happen anytime. Everyone like many corporation minded people don't prepare for shit until it happens. Do you live at your home with a fire extinguisher? Oh look my house is on fire which started in the kitchen wish I had got a fire extinguisher, but I didn't bother. GET PREPARED FOR SHIT PEOPLE! IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

FUCK!!!

It's right in the middle. Too much of a concern to ignore. Not a big enough concern for must of us to actually be scared of it.

Neither do I. This shit in China was going on since like the Chinese New Year. I'm sure lots more have it but right now can't test everyone. Most likely cases where people have no symptoms, but if spread to someone else they can develop it. Most cases from what I'm hearing (I could be wrong) is due to community cases of people who haven't even traveled.
