I agree!! Too bad I have been called all kinds of names on this site for saying just that. Maybe some people are too stupid to understand. By the way thousands die on the highways every year yet I have not sold my car and hide in the basement. Originally Posted by Ranger Dog

4) The mortality rate of motor vehicles in the US in 2018 was 0.01118%. The mortality rate of CV is approximately 3-5%, more in some places (11% in Italy) less in other places.

How can you not know these things?

I'm not hiding. I am doing my best to keep myself and others as safe as possible. That's what will help this country. You should do the same.

It is more like SARS and MERS.... seems we got through those all right....

BTW -- how many people die in car wrecks every day???
Not percentages... actual deaths....

I just think a high percentage of us are going to get this if not this spring then in the fall.

Not a hoax. more diligent work to prepare our lovely and hard working nurses should have been done to get them the proper equipment. What they do is much more important then what we do especially on this board.

We will survive its gonna be a tough go but we will.

These people are adults they will do as they see fit. There are behaviors I engage in and those I avoid which are not substantiated by statistics.

I was listening to an interview with Brian Greene the other day during which he mentioned a conversation he had with Richard Dawkins (not the game show Richard Dawkins). These two are both extremely serious scientific minds.

Brian mentioned that despite being as sober and serious as Dawkins is, he once mentioned to Greene that he (Dawkins) is hesitant to sleep in houses which have the reputation for being haunted, which is fucking ridiculous.

It goes both ways with people, even intelligent people.
