Let’s say the estimates are off, and we are “only” talking about a 2% mortality rate. Evidently you have NO clue as to the ramifications of a (apparently) highly contagious disease with a 2% mortality rate.
Look, I’ve been making many posts trying to tamp down unwarranted rumors, “panic”, etc. But, 50 million deaths directly due to this virus is looking like a VERY reasonable projection, if the general run of info. coming out from relatively responsible sources is correct. And that 50 million deaths doesn’t even get into the collateral damage. One is either ignorant or insanely self-centered to dismiss such, if comforting themselves in the reassurance that any one individual’s personal health risk from 2019-nCoV is low.
“Vapors”? No. Steeling ourselves for what is looking more and more likely? Yes.
I don’t think your figures are off at all. I would say a 2% estimate is realistic given what we know.
And you apparent;y have no clue as to how to discuss a topic without being a smarmy asshole.
