Nice. What is mortality rate among people under 60 that are healthy?
Click to expand...

The only good numbers so far are from China, which was trying to fudge things to make this look less severe. But everywhere else most cases are active.

COVID-19 mortality rates by age calculated by the Chinese CDC, so take them with a grain of salt:
  • ages 10-19: 0.2%
  • ages 20-29: 0.2%
  • ages 30-39: 0.2%
  • ages 40-49: 0.4%
  • ages 50-59: 1.3%
  • ages 60-69: 3.6%
  • ages 70-79: 8%
  • 80 and over: 14.8%
So this does mirror the flu rates pretty well, but every category simply has higher death rate except for small children who seem to be resistant to Covid-19.

So self regulate. Find a solution. Stick grandpa in a basement. Have him self quarantine.

Give up shouldnt be the first option when in includes incalculable economic destruction.

I look it more as an economic setback. Some people even look it as an opportunity. I'm retired and the wife retires in May. We are now completely out of the marke except for one mutual fund. Everything is in a high yield (by today's standards) annuity that we've been building for over 30 years, savings and property. I'm watching the market and may choose to get back in as things develop. There is money to be made here.

The mortality rates are BS

Even if the mortality matched the flu, the transmission rate difference would mean we can't respond in the same way without overwhelming the medical system.

Most conservative rate I've seen is 2%, the scariest is 5.7%. So somewhere between 20 and 57 times more deadly than the flu with a much higher rate of transmission.

It is not a minor setback in my view.

Hotels, airlines, tourism, restaurants, will be annihilated.

The mortality rate in the US using the world info link is around 1.7% for total deaths and total diagnosed cases.

That sucks, but I cant say my opinion is to shut society down over it.

WTF happened to the compound that UT had supposedly super computered? We already have anti-viral drugs yet you’ve literally heard NOTHING about using those to treat this. Suspicious? Hell fuggin yes.

Got back from the grocery a little while ago. Only thing I couldn't find was ammonia - not critical because I'm not ready to paint - therefore, not ready to clean ceiling and walls. I got two of the three remaining gallons of 1% milk, and two of the last three Publix eggs on the shelf - they've obviously picked up some other brands though - so no critical shortage there. Wine aisle was fully stocked - fruits and veggies were showing some empty spaces. Canned food definitely had taken real serious hits - and I forgot the check for some frozen foods - dammit. Wasn't offended by 53 different varieties of Cheerios as I went down that aisle - hate Cheerios - oats are for horses. Now if you want a quick route from the back to the front of the store - the paper aisle - no people and virtually nothing on the shelf. As the guy and I were walking to the car I commented I usually park within a couple of spots of the last handicapped place, and he said, "and this time you are at the cart return" - and I was. He said Thurs and Fri were nuts - sometimes no open parking spaces at all.
