Coronavirus spreads. But don't panic! (topical thread)

[Rainy_D]

Most people are just fine.  Most people do not even get a bad cold.  Some dont even get a cough.  Some only experience one symptom. 

"Some"?
"Most"?
Evidence, or fuck off.

Sure, in England and Germany the "Black Death" had a mortality of only 20%. Most people survived!
Only 40% of people in Egypt succumbed to the Black Death. Most people survived!
All in all, maybe 20-25mio people all across died in Europe due to the Black death, which amounts to ca. 1/3 of the population of Europe. Most people survived!
It wasnt all that bad, was it? After all: Most people were fine.

Back at ya Douchebag. 

All coronavirus infections start mild, doctors say, and the majority -- about 80% -- stay that way.

Hyperbole activated CNN admits MOST people have mild or asymptomatic cases.

20% mortality is not Covid-19.  Fuckoff once again.

An additional study has noted that the mean age of influenza-related deaths in the USA during the 2009 (H1N1) pandemic (37.4 years) was considerably lower than the average for typical A/H3N2 influenza seasons (75.7 years), as well as the 1968 and 1957 pandemics (62.2–64.6 years), while it relatively close to the 1918 ...Jul 1, 2011

Typically, seasonal influenza mortality is greatest among the youngest and oldest in a population. During the 1918 pandemic, the virus also affected young adults between 20 and 40 years of age. The average age of death was 28 years old. It was called the Spanish Flu not because the pandemic started in Spain.

It is evident from Fig. 1 that COVID-19 mortality risk is many times higher for the old than for the young, and indeed the vast majority of COVID-19 deaths are of older people. But the same is true for all-cause mortality—the vast majority of deaths are of the elderly. About 70% of all US COVID-19 deaths are to age 70 y or above, somewhat above the 64% for normal mortality. In fact, the age distribution of deaths attributed to COVID-19 is quite similar to that of all-cause mortality, which tends to increase by about 10% every year of age after age 30 y. Fig. 1B shows that in South Korea, Italy, France, Germany, England and Wales, and Spain, virus-attributed mortality rates rise by about 12%/y, while the United States and Wuhan, China show a slower rate of increase (about 9.5%/y of age).

For MOST people, this newest fad for hypochondriacs falls short of actual impact compared to past instances.
