The study found a 50-to-64-year-old person who has a single random contact has, on average, a 1 in 852,000 chance of being hospitalized or a 1 in 19.1 million chance of dying based on rates as of the last week of May.

I believe it. I live in a city of around 1.1 million. As of yesterday we’ve had 60 deaths contributed to covid. I personally know no one who has had it.

This "pandemic" has zero to do with protecting anyone, so the actual facts have no bearing, it is ALL about implementing SOCIALIST POWER

what matters is that people are wearing the masks in order to make it easier to commit terrorism, and staying safe in order to put a major dent in the USD worldwide

social distancing will be officially lifted as soon as no longer needed by liberals to put creepy in the presidency.

Much better than their odds as a motorist caught in a BLMm rally . . .

As of two weeks ago according to the CDC, there have been 21 deaths from the virus for ages 0-14, compared to 51 deaths annually from lightening. Its conceivable therefore by the end of the year more people will die by lighting strikes than children from covid 19.

(See report here https://data.cdc.gov/api/views/9bhg-hcku/rows.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD )

From the report it is those older than 65 who are the majority dying from the virus, as it lists 80 percent of all deaths to be those over 65 and of these deaths, these are people who died in mostly in nursing homes

Consider a nursing home medium stay before death is 5 months without a virus, and now when extra funds are distributed for virus deaths even if those that would have otherwise died, then really isn’t the major threat of the virus the remaining 20 percent, the other wise “healthy” , e.g. those less than 65 and not in a nursing home with other terminal conditions?

So as we approach 120,000 thousands USA deaths as the “official“ talley, just 20 percent of these deaths are the real risk from the rest of the healthy population of 330 million or about 25,000 deaths which is similar to any other virus, but not similar in hysteria.

Therefore all the draconian laws really has been over the concern for 25 thousand USA deaths out of a population of 328 million, which is 1 in 13,000 chance that a healthy adult will breath in virus gas and die ?

They really needed the impact of the numbers from the nursing homes.

Those people were murdered.

Good to hear. I am 61. If you are over 80, your scrwed.

Please don’t post me with “X was over 100 years old.” You know my meaning. Under 65 and your odds of dying are tiny. Over 80 and it can be 20% or more. would not want a 1 in 4 chance of dying just cause I got infected,

It would be really helpful if the CDC estimated the TOTAL number of Americans who are or have been infected.

We have performed 27.6 million tests. In other words, 8.4% of the USA population has been tested.

We have 2.3 million confirmed positive tests. That (confusingly!) works out to an 8.4% infection rate.

As far as I know, the CDC is still not posting the number of people who test positive for COVID antibodies - but do not have an active COVID infection.

In Europe, at least 4 cities or regions have estimated their TOTAL infection rate - past + present infections.

Those 4 estimates are between 11% and 15%.

If we knew the total USA infection rate, we could calculate the Case Fatality Rate.

My own USA estimate is a 10% infection rate - 33 million.

That would make our Case Fatality Rate about 0.36%.

A bad flu season has a Case Fatality Rate around 0.15%.

I am 1,000 times more worried about the goofball in her car, wearing her mask, and texting.

I’m in the “death zone” (over 65), but I will not wear a mask unless forced to in a regular situation. Hospitals, nursing homes, I will. I did not wear one at the post office today. 2 of the 3 counter people weren’t wearing one, either. Plastic shields up, though.

For Freepers living in Marxist CA. This is a must see video that pertains to Mullah Newsom’s, wannabe dictator, mandate that masks must be worn by everyone in CA starting at age 3 up. Mullah Newsom’s mandate is a violation of our Constitutional rights!

I am 67, have metastatic prostate cancer and Type II diabetes, but take 24,000 iu of Vitamin D3, 1,000 mg of metformin twice per day, Zinc, a fair large dose of Vitamin C, plus some other supplements to help my immune system. I also don’t do stupid stuff which might greatly increase my chances of getting it, but I am living my normal life.

I don’t think I’m going to be getting Covid-19, and if I do, my immune system is already in pretty good shape. Just need to add HCQ which my wife has a prescription until I can get my own, and Z-Pac.

“We were surprised how low the relative risk was,”

That’s because you’ve been watching CNN and MSNBC.

It would be tough for coronavirus to be less risky than I think without it actually being good for you.

.......”unlikely to overwhelm hospital capacity in most U.S. settings”......

Our Hospital is laying off workers.....the shut down caused more financial damage to our medical system here than the virus even came close to. Hardly any cases throughout the crisis.....

So since hospitals are able to handle now they need to just open everything up!
