But wait, there is a 97.3 % recovery rate from the Corona virus! I like that number better! If you are less than 65 years of age, then you have a 99.56 % recovery rate.
But wait! I heard that 50 % of the people who have the Corona virus, don't know that they have it! Does this mean that the above numbers are more favorable than shown?
But wait! I heard that 40% of the people who are exposed to the Corona virus won't contract it at all? Does that improve the chances for survival?
The news media doesn't approach the virus from this point of view and I understand why. I am not a scientist, so please don't get mad at me if you disagree. If I am going to worry, then maybe I can worry intelligently! Be diligent and be safe! God bless you!
I think the flu is somewhere around a .05% after some rough math i did days ago.
I thought this one was closer to 1%. 2.7% is way worse.
Either way, if I have a 1 in 100 chance of dying if I get this. Well that just blows monkey anus.
We really don't know enough about it tbh. But I do know that I would rather not be willy nilly with a virus that has shut down the planet...
