Off Topic Coronavirus and Quarantine

and flu cases are lower.... this spreads like wildfire.

the age and condition matters not.. everyone speaks like they dont matter... oh its only those people ill be fine.... talk about true colours showing

 

I haven't heard anyone saying those people don't matter, but clearly age and health condition do matter and do affect the likely mortality rate. THere's nothing wrong with pointing that out mate.

 

They need to close schools, urgently!

 

ive appied to be infected ... u get 3.5 grand

 

well thats the way I hear it.

 

Apparently thats one of the very early symptoms - it starts to affect your hearing. How old are you are and do you have any pre-existing conditions (apart from the ones we are already aware of)?

 

I shaved my entire body today...

 

I would have waited and let the nurses do that.

 

I want to be in shape if i die

 

Been great the last few days in the gym here - really quiet.

 

Don't be daft - it is highly important epidemiologically to understand the impact on various groups so the virus can be countered as effectively as possible. If they were just to headline the average fatality rate of 1% too many would be blasé and more would die. People need to know if they or those they care for are at increased risk so they can help mitigate that risk by doing things to reduce exposure.

 

so what

 

So - your naive stance would (if too many people thought in the same way) get a lot more people killed and likely quickly result in a completely overwhelmed NHS, further magnifying the fatality rate and extending highly increased risk to all age groups above 10 years old.

 

has nothing to do with my point

 

"the age and condition matters not.. everyone speaks like they dont matter... oh its only those people ill be fine.... talk about true colours showing"

Every fact about this virus matters. Tell someone that they have a 99% chance of surviving a disease and they won't likely change a thing about their day-to-day behaviour - they will perceive the risk to be low. Point out that actually as they are over 80 and have diabetes they have a 20 - 25% chance of dying if they catch it then response should look a whole lot different. Armed with this statistical information anyone with a conscience will be more careful so as to not increase risk to those who are most vulnerable. This should help to slow spread across the board (all we can hope for). Your point is either null because you misconstrued the reason for the statistics being split and presented by age/health condition or it is daft because you think that people should be quiet about group differences, suggesting that increasing risk to the vulnerable is of less import than some false notion of shallow selfishness amongst lower risk groups.

 

You can't catch it from internet posting can you? I will spray my screen and keyboard just to be on the safe side

 

you misunderstood.

 

So what did you mean?

 

I doubt it. The only way I misunderstood your point is if you can't articulate your thoughts in a cohesive and accurate manner...

So yeah, maybe.

 

If he were cohesive and articulate it wouldn’t be ambiguous enough for him to refer back to later and claim omniscience.
