He would expect millions of deaths. This is just in the US. Quoting: California Jessers Can someone please tell me something good :( Here's what I'll tell you. I worked for several years in a program under the President's Office at Harvard. And I worked in another area of Harvard and several years before that at MIT. Here's the big secret they don't want anyone to know: THEY.ARE.ALL.ARROGANT.INCOMPETENT.ASSHOLES. 90% of them. The President's Office could NOT run a budget or manage programs and I found that generally true. They are buried in wokeness and don't know their asses from their elbows. All they know is how to keep reeling in money and spending it on foolishness. Please believe me.....DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING THESE POMPOUS USELESS ASSHOLES TELL YOU. The country is largely fucked up because people from Harvard, Yale, etc, RUN IT. Yep, anything that smells Liberal, spells communism, at the very least. And that means, control by any means possible. There is no fortune to be gained by a cure, there is however a great deal of profit to be made from treatments. ~Mark Twain If you want to live forever, live a life worth remembering. ~Bruce Lee You will find something in everything if you are looking everywhere for a thing. ~Reebl |

I'm an almost total shut in(go on errands sometimes to the store), and I figured I will have contracted this plague by April to May, given it's rate of spread. The MSM keeps forgetting one thing: 14 to 28+ days, a person shows no symptoms, yet is still contagious. By the time symptoms appear, the virus is no longer in it's main burn/spread phase. Meaning, we do not know the true number of infected. It was bouncing around Washington for over 6 weeks. In the 6 Weeks, how many people scattered in how many directions? Hell, it is possible, we could all have it already. |

If you are over 50, if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, heart arrhythmia, or some other condition which might be relatively mild, you are still much more likely to succumb. That 3.6% figure (or whatever it is today) is spread across the population. If you are in the higher-risk group, your chances of dying are closer to 15%. So when you are an older American in a field such as nursing, airline attendant, bus driver, checkout clerk, teacher, or someone else who gets a lot of exposure to the public (especially children), you have very real and serious risks to factor in. |

User ID: 77240349 United States 03/03/2020 06:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well take this for what it's worth, viruses like the flu and corona are basically more virulent based on how exposed you are to the virus, if you keep your exposure to a minimum as much as possible, even if you get the virus it will likely be far less lethal simply because the "amount" of the virus your system has to fight off will be less.

Right now hospitals are basically full. Imagine 20% of the country needing to access the hospital at almost the same time. *The 20% who are seriously ill will need IV drips, oxygen tanks, and intravenous antibiotics against secondary infections, etc. *5% of the population will need intensive care, ventilators, etc. We don't have anywhere near the facilities for this, anywhere. Health care workers will also get sick, and they will be overwhelmed. The stress on the population will be enormous - sick friends, family and co-workers, loss of income, uncertainty, confusion, fear about shortages as the supply chain slows down to a stop, etc. |

Quoting: California Jessers Can someone please tell me something good :( the clip predicts 1% fatalities. not even close. . 1% is 1 BILLION worldwide.... Not exactly, if 40% of 300m people (i know it's higher, but just using it as a example) got corona and 1% died, it would be between 1-2 million deaths, if we do a worldwide number of 7 billion people, 40% infected and 1% of those die, that would still be 42m dead, the problem here is that this is not taking into account variables such as if medical supplies run out, not to mention the chaos that would happen when social order breaks down would probably kill alot more people than the virus itself, if this virus is truly that lethal, it's alot more than just the virus people need to worry about, as the supply of food and water would also be effected alone, this is a recipe for disaster for alot of reasons. *Pretty much everyone will get infected - it's just very contagious and the period when it is communicable and yet there are no symptoms guarantees this Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67564836 *20% of the population will require some hospitalization, for a longish period (several weeks).
