Less than 2% infected actually die from it.

Most of the deaths are the very old an very young with weak immune systems.

Why don’t you acquire the virus. Then tell us how the experience was a ‘nothing burger’ if you survive

My wife and I are just getting over the flu. Knocked us on our asses for about 8 days.

And just so you are clear...you failed reading.

Less than 2% of those reported as infected, have died-so-far.
More than half of those reported as infected...are still infected.

The raw numbers are higher than they will be after people have had it long enough to recover from it, and there are an unknown number of unknown cases (though until the ‘community infected’ began to show up, for those outside of China the number known to be infected and the number of actual infected were pretty close). That said, the 2% number is just innumerate silliness at this point.

I’ve been pointing this out! The Coronavirus Groupies ask us to ignore this while they tell us with a straight face that COVID-19 “is more deadly!”

They will NOT deal with the actual numbers in a meaningful way! All they can do is provide conjecture and fear! It’s like dealing with hard core Leftists trying to convince us about the destruction coming from Globull Warming!

I’m weary of this sh*t already!

Humans generally haven’t a good feel for applying an exponential curve to a small sample gathered over a short time period. We will have increasingly more accurate information as time progresses. The results of prior ignorance of incubation period, poor testing methodology, symptom free travelers, and the start date of patient zero transmission.

Up to the point that available resources can cope with a patient load, a low mortality rate is a possibility. Once the saturation point of medical care is crossed, the percentage of deaths could be greatly increased.

If its a nothingburger then why do we need to lock down people in their homes?

Why do we need travel restrictions?

According to you we should all step up and take the risk of death upon ourselves to satisfy your need to maintain your stock investments.

If you claim to be smart enough to make good investments then can you not see what is happening all over the world. Do you not read anything. Can you not research anything for yourself? Why do you believe everything some uneducated overpaid news reader tells you.
