How do you know the kill rate to the flu? The flu is a long standing issue, this covid is new. It appears that lots of folks get covid but don’t go to the doc because symptoms don’t warrant. You’re only doing your math on the worst case scenarios, and when another terminal illness may have been the leading cause of death.

I haven't done any math on any scenarios. The math already has been done on every single person in every scenario whom has been tested thus far - we have that data and the math has been done.

Your "math" is not math at all. You have no input data whatsoever yet ASS-U-ME that there are multitudes who have the disease, but somehow the untested have vastly different results than the tested.

IOW, you're the math-idiot, not everyone else. Not only do you suck at math, but science and debating too.

We know from the DP that with the entire resources of a whole country with first-world medicine it still killed 12 (10 on the ship, 1 in the US and 1 in Canada) out of 712 confirmed cases. And they tested everybody. That’s 1.7% or 17 times the average “kill rate” of the flu. With over 100 cases still unresolved.

So, yeah, just the flu, bro.
