1000 deaths today. No turning back

[Arithmetic]

It's comforting to see all the truthful posters in here

Do the amount of car accidents in a day jump exponentially week after week like coronavirus or is it a steady average amount all throughout? Show me a year when car accidents jumped by 7 fold in less than 2 weeks

Can someone who dies in a car accident spread that 2 or 3 people? According to your dumb ass logic, all of a sudden the doctors and nurses treating car accident patients are now at risk to start dying from car accidents ? you see how stupid your analogy sounds?

Also fail to understand the number of beds in ICU vs number of patients coming in and how quickly that can bring a healthcare system to its knees.

troll game is weak af

Deaths lag infection. That’s the only shyt making this look like it’s an “exponential” increase.

also, most of the damn population already has this fraudvirus but they don’t suffer any effects from it. It’s bullshyt.

That ain’t shyt. nikkas need to have perspective. That’s literally .0000023% of the population. You have a greater chance of getting hit by a car and dying. I’m tired of this fraud fukking virus.

And do the math if you nikkas doubt me. The only reason why we’re quarantining is because of herd mentality and scientists covering their ass.

Don't get me wrong I see your point.however,
Bruh the virus is brand new and easy to get and since it's new it causes mass hysteria. A regular flu kills thousands but at least their is vaccine as prevention and details and research involving the flu.

This disease is easy to get and no cure yet . Also how do you prevent from getting it without vaccines besides staying away from people?

As far as driving,
Yes I can follow the rules by stopping at the red light however a drunk driver can still hit me and I die but me being in an accident has no bearing in your life or someone in another part of the world or your family

The virus can be at your job, being with your spouse , any given moment and your only defense is isolation and washing hands and what else? That's the problem especially we are social creatures. We can live without driving but virus is everywhere it can be on your dinner table and the viruse can briefly survive on that table and you can touch it and get it etc.

Discredited by whom?

Discredited by the fact that this is an opinion piece on the projected death toll in a fukking financial rag, not a medical or scientific journal. Second, these chuckle fukks are doctors of Medicine, they are not experts in the field they are writing about. Third, the WSJ has a vested interest in reopening the economy, they are neither impartial nor possess the expertise to dispute the projected death toll. Fourth, people plan and hedge against high risk low probability events all the time. As an investment banker or whatever, I hope for the sake of your clients you adequately understand risk. Going by your logic, attacking the Taliban in Afghanistan was an overreaction considering that 9/11 only killed 2900 Americans.

My chances getting hit by a car if I stop at red light and following rules and such is low.however a drunk driver can hit me and I die but that don't mean that me being in an accident has no bearing in your life.

Most of us likely already have this shyt though and don’t suffer from it that’s why I’m so pissed about this mass hysteria

This is all a non response. I specifically asked you who discredited this article, not why the merits of this article are questionable (of which your assertions are faulty).

you realize that opinion piece was never:
1. peer-reviewed
2. published in any scientific journal. that's why it's on a random news site for clickbait

meaning the shyt holds no weight in any research institution

expert reaction to unpublished paper modelling what percentage of the UK population may have been exposed to COVID-19 | Science Media Centre
Has half the UK already caught COVID-19? Probably not. | Live Science

To begin, the authors write that their overall approach "rests on the assumption that only a very small proportion of the population is at risk of hospitabitable illness." In their most extreme model, the authors estimate that just 0.1% of the population, or one in every 1,000 people, will require hospitalization.

"We can already see just by looking at Italy ... that that figure has already been exceeded," Tim Colbourn, an epidemiologist at University College London’s Institute for Global Health, told Wired U.K. In the region of Lombardy alone, more than one in 1,000 people have been hospitalized, and that number continues to grow every day, Wired U.K. reported.

even the logic of what you're implying is just dumb af. The government and the media were in cahoots and wanted to wipe out THREE YEARS of stock market gains, destroy multiple industries, cause mass layoffs, drive up inflation. all for what? just so that they could monitor your phone

I have to say im impressed. I was honestly expecting half this thread to rally around the second post with cult-like devotion.

Discredited might've been the wrong word. This article is just an opinion piece however. Throw it on the pile with all the others, including the scrooge mcduck bullshyt you running your mouth about.

Bruh 8 transit city workers in nyc nyc died recently from same virus .it's not like they each died from car accident or got shot it's from the same virus.

It is okay not to take it seriously but be mindful to the people around you including family members. I know someone that has it my friends sister. It's that randomness that's driving folks crazy.


You don't have to wear gloves,mask or wash hands and not care butthe question to you is are folks being irrational and only you rational?

How would you feel if your loved one had it and you are not allow to see that person in the hospital room and that person is isolated for days until they feel better or if they die you can't see them before they die?

1. I wouldn’t be surprised if Italy is an exception to the rule. Old people make up a greater proportion of their population than other nations and they kiss each other when they greet, spreading the virus more easily.

2. Eroding civil rights wasn’t the original goal. It’s a convenient lever to pull even if the original intent was innocuous.

So then you admit it hasn’t been discredited.

while we should be mindful of the emotional impact of death, the bolded doesn’t tell us anything. How old were these transit workers? Did they have any pre existing health conditions? How many transit workers are there in nyc?

Regardless, you still have a very low chance of dying from this shyt, even if you’re old and have the world’s shyttiest immune system
