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!
The main objective isn't "Only wimps die so what's the problem?"
It's that it massively overwhelms the hospitals and often infects the health staff. Your chances of survival increase when you have enough ventilators . . . if you don't have enough, that 1% goes up much, much higher.
I'm not mad because I disagree . . . I'm mad that your post makes it pretty clear that you listen to right wing media and little or nothing else. Like John Kelly said . . .
Quote:Perhaps Kelly's most sweeping criticism of Trump, though, came when he took aim at another target.Look around instead of only at what makes you comfortable. If you take in from only one side, you are voluntarily dumbing yourself down in today's information overload.
“The media, in my view, and I feel very strongly about this, is not the enemy of the people,” Kelly said. “We need a free media. That said, you have to be careful about what you are watching and reading, because the media has taken sides,” he continued. “So if you only watch Fox News because it's reinforcing what you believe, you are not an informed citizen."
