Loading ...Corona Virus Reality Will Soon Be Realized like Swine Flu, Etc.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/
0 children dead.
1 out of 500 people die age 10-39.
1 out of 250 people die age 40-49.
(And these deaths are mostly people with immune system issues)
When reality of this is realized, workers will go to work and things will be fine. Also, stock markets will recover…
Young and healthy people simply have very little to worry about. Inmunocompromised and old? Different story…
So basically: (Young) People need to calm down and get to work.
Fully… now you? Get in the bomb shelter and live off those rations! 🙂 jk! 🙂
Way too soon to be posting figures like this and giving the all clear Chuck. If you believe the data which I remind you is at best two months old. According to your post I have a 1/250 chance of dying if contracting the virus. I don’t know about you Chuck but if presented with the opportunity to avoid walking into a room with the virus and these less than stellar odds, I would. And I damn sure wouldn’t let my family. Have you done the math yet to see how many die if say 2-3B contract the illness? Not acceptable.
So, given the opportunity to burn through all your sick/vacation days and then burning through your savings perhaps to Zero or going to work at the office/factory floor with a 1/250 chance of dying, which do you think most people would choose if they’re the average joe with almost nothing in the bank?
You bet your ass I would, if given the choice. Sadly, I don’t think we have a choice. Whenever you see a breakout in the U.S. realize you are looking back in time 2-4 weeks and those people have been walking around infecting people, and so on. I don’t know about the mortality rate of this until the dust settles, nobody does. But I do know this is way worse than the number of cases revealed daily.
Ok. I’m 42. I’ll go to work and hope I catch it so I can get it over with….
I think most 49 and under year olds when realizing how unlikely this thing is to kill you, if you have a good immune system and aren’t compromised, would go to work instead of bankrupting their family like you’d choose…
Aurum…..YOU have a similar 1 in 250 chance of dying of the Flu if you get it
YOU have a higher than 1 in 250 chance of dying in a car accident ( or any accident)
You are more likely to be killed by dozens of other things
This is ridiculous
If you are afraid of dying of something …stay home….but careful in that slippery bath tub
sheesh
It’s not often I agree with Chuck…but on this one….I agree
All this does is forces us to face our own mortality
LOOK at the NUmbers
Less than 3,000 deathe in the Epicenter …China and they have 1.5 Billion
so 1 in 500,000,000 have died so far
This is the first comment below the charts and graphs. Good news also!!

Bruce Aylward, World Health Organization Joint Mission to China:
“I think the key learning from China is speed — it’s all about the speed. The faster you can find the cases, isolate the cases, and track their close contacts, the more successful you’re going to be. […]
People keep saying [the cases are the] tip of the iceberg. But we couldn’t find that. We found there’s a lot of people who are cases, a lot of close contacts — but not a lot of asymptomatic circulation of this virus in the bigger population. And that’s different from flu. […]
China got patients in treatment early and have highly sophisticated health care treatment procedures. They are really good at keeping people alive with this disease. They have a survival rate (with a mortality rate of just under 1% outside of Hubei province) for this disease I would not extrapolate to the rest of the world. What you’ve seen in Italy and Iran is that a lot of people are dying.
Panic and hysteria are not appropriate. This is a disease that is in the cases and their close contacts. It’s not a hidden enemy lurking behind bushes. Get organized, get educated, and get working.”

That’s good advice: ‘Get organized, get educated, and get working.’
And it wouldn’t hurt to get to the gym to keep the immune system revved up.
… It’s the hype that continues to grow exponentially — not the disease.
Pre-internet, this virus would have been taken in stride.
Fair enough but I will take my white knuckle ride at the amusement park not the emergency room.
Lol.
Oh, and remember that 1 out of 250/500 was most likely dying of something else and immune compromised. Healthy and young people just are not dying.
Understood. I think what freaks people out, those tuned in anyways (maybe just me) Are the reports of this being somehow manmade/tampered with. Until the reports come in I just don’t trust it. Also, the reinfection rate or that reported anyways is alarming. What are people getting this again after testing negative? One day we will know everything I wish the world knew today. Oh well.
It does sound manufactured. Was it leaked on purpose or on accident from perhaps the Wuhan lab? Don’t know. Don’t know if we’ll ever know.
Reinfection is concerning and would ruin my “get it and not have to worry about it” plan! 🙂 Since it’s new, maybe some bodies just need more antibodies?
And lack of trust is understood for sure, but it does appear this is mostly fear driven like usual for most the population. Italy is advising those in some areas over 65 to stay home. Older people do seem to have a lot more to worry about, which does stink.
Look you guys, the reason the health experts simply just advise, to wash your hands and stay away from those infected, is because we basically have no chance to keep from “eventually” being infected.
Viruses are running the show! And we have hundreds in our own bodies at all times!
Here is the clue:
The influenza virus is constantly mutating – essentially putting on ever-changing disguises – to evade our immune systems.
You do what is best to stay healthy and avoid contact, but if you understand what you are up against, you have almost no chance except avoidance.
The best thing to do is NOT get hyped up over all this….the world will go on as it has done over and over, up against all odds!
You have a much greater chance of being injured or killed doing many, many other, way less risky things in life.
If you do some research on how VIRUSES HELP US, you’ll get a whole other side of this story.
This is nature at it’s best, doing what it does best, what ever it wants to!
When you try to stop mother nature, you lose 100% of the time!
Almost every second, nearly 2 people die and the greatest cause is heart disease!
We have just commemorated the centenary of the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918, which lasted only a few months but claimed 50 million to 100 million lives worldwide, including 675,000 in the United States. That pandemic remains a benchmark, and many commentators have rushed to compare it to the current coronavirus outbreak. What’s most striking about these comparisons, though, is not the similarities between the two episodes, but the distance that medicine has traveled in the intervening century. Whatever happens next, it won’t be a second 1918.
That year, as pandemic influenza ravaged communities as diverse as California and Kolkata, no one knew what was killing them. Theories abounded. Some suggested it was a misalignment of the planets. (That’s what gave us the name influenza, from the Italian word for “influence.”) Others believed the cause was tainted Russian oats, or volcanic eruptions. Microbiologists focused on a bacterium they had discovered decades earlier in the lungs of influenza victims, and called it Bacillus influenza. But they had merely recognized a bacterium that invades lungs already weakened from influenza. Not until 1933 did two British scientists demonstrate that the cause must be a new class of disease, which today we call viruses. Finally, in 1940, the newly invented electron microscope took a picture of the influenza virus, and for the first time in history we could not only name, but also see, the culprit.
The true danger is not that it will kill lots of people, but if it is only 2-3 times deadlier than the regular flu it will put an enormous strain on the health care system as a whole. This combined with China’s supply chain shock resulting in med shortages is a recipe for a crisis in health care. I believe this is the BEST case scenario.
When I was in my early twenties, 70 now, for some weird reason, I fell in love with understanding viruses.
Maybe that explains a lot! 🙂
But they are incredible aspects of nature.
They have the form at times that resemble polyhedrons. That is what drew me to them.
I was curious about how some came about having the geometric shape of the most stable structural elements in nature,
the equilateral triangle and or the Icosahedron –
An icosahedral virus is a virus consisting of identical subunits that make up equilateral triangles that are in turn arranged in a symmetrical fashion. A special type of icosahedral shape, called a prolate, is a variant of the icosahedral viral shape and is found in bacteriophages.
Not too many years later, Buckminster Fuller would fashion his Geodesic Domes after these viral shapes.
Today you’ll find these domes all over the world!
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing all that you did.
Hey Steins agreed, viruses are here to help define us. But being neither alive nor dead they are freaky. I read some great articles a few years ago that theorized the nucleus of our cells was a virus that learned to stay indefinitely and aid the host. Interesting to say the least. I say if you don’t have a sharpening tool you technically don’t have a knife. Meaning without strife we don’t advance.
Steins1 is Super Virus Man
Wow thats a mouthful there
Thanks for the tutorial
