The mortality rate in Italy is 8%.

 

You, of course, realize that that number is 8% of CONFIRMED CASES, not the entire population of Italy?

Only dumb people compare it to the flu and in PPP there is no shortage of those...

You can't post rationally on the main boards without getting deleted. I'm sure your takes are super rational though. ??

Italy has done a very good job testing. Not as good as places like South Korea, but until it's not 8% I'll assume it is.

 

The worst is yet to come in the US. It's going to get way worse before it gets any better.

What if it kills 5% of the population?

 

Or 8% like in Italy?


How many lives are expendable? 

8% of what?  The whole population?  Confirmed cases?  People who go to the hospital?  People who test positive?  It's not a very meaningful metric without defining the denominator.  And of course Italy has a much older population than say, the US.

You guys are trying to inform a bunch of people in this thread who "Thinks it's the flu" and who "Think this is a big ploy and everyone else is sheep" 

 

Stop wasting your time these people cannot be helped.

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^

 

Anyone who's assuming 8% of Italy's ENTIRE POPULATION will die from this is likely hysterical.

Italy is an example of what happens when the healthcare system fails due to being overwhelmed.

 

That hasn't happened in the US yet. 

 

It will happen in 3-6 weeks depending on where you are. 

 

At that point the number of deaths is going to sky rocket.

Yours do. I've tried to respond to your comment multiple times. Keep doing you mouthbreather. Your feelings are important.

Wake me up when 8%of Italy's total population dies.

 

It. Is. Not. Going. To. Happen.

 

Italy has about 60 million citizens. For 8% of their population to die, 4.8 MILLION Italians will have to die from this disease. That's not happening, man.

You're cool. You responded to my rational thought in the OTW thread and got yourself and me deleted. I hope you can control yourself here.

It means your thought wasn't rational. So you got your post deleted and blame other people..

 Interesting.

We keep reading this, but it really hasn't happened anywhere.  There will undoubtedly be pockets where there are more deaths than other places, but there is nothing going on that justifies shuttering entire states and provinces.  The state where I live just issued a "shelter at home" edict, yet more than half the counties in the state have zero reported cases and a third of the counties have 2 or 3.  I'm sure it's similar in NY State.  We need targeted, common sense measures, not statewide martial law.

Mine was there. After yours got deleted. @Hapless Bills Fan just didn't like me adding context which I totally get. They wanted a fact based only thread. I only added context.

Yea b.c you have no facts ever. So you post something not rational, then blame others for it being deleted. Ask Hapless if he deleted it or I deleted that. I bet the answer would surprise you, I knew it would only be a matter of time for your post to get deleted so I deleted mine. I bet Hapless didn't even know I responded.

 

 

So anything else dumbass? That was fun so again stop getting your posts deleted and maybe learn a thing or two about this virus before you ever post again.

This thing hasn't even hit hard yet. In two weeks when NYC hospitals are completely overwhelmed and people are dying in the hallways the death rate is going to begin to rise. 

 

Could you be any more melodramatic? You have no clue what it will be like in two weeks, or four weeks, or eight weeks. Why don't we wait and see...
