Good news

Holy. Fuck.

Christ, you have to be a 2 year old if you simply take those numbers and declare the death rate. By doing such, you have declared that the amount of people tested is equal to the total amount of people that have had the virus (either symptomatically or asymptomatically).... and of course, you would have to be mentally retarded to do something that moronic.

Screw that guy
Also, someone trying to teach you something that starts out with "omg these ppl so dumb" is, besides a moron, a douche also an asshole.
Also, if its ~50% with no or mild symptoms why is the green chart *significantly bigger* than the yellow? Then he goes on to say its at least 50% bigger (as in 1.5 times 1.6M?)... at 50% wouldnt they be of equal size? The text he quotes "... could represent some 60% of all infections" (I call it 50, whatever). Either he is getting it wrong is extremely misleading. What a douche.

Anyway around my waterhole its about ~1% has antibodies, 0.2% has been tested positive, of those tested positive there is a ~5% death rate. So the mild to none crowd here is actually 5 times bigger than the tested pool... and lands us at a 1%'er.

Also, antibody numbers from the general populous is a recent tool, we didnt have those to begin with, would you suggest to estimate nothing?

People really struggle with the meaning of case fatality rate and mortality rate. Always we have known we have been undercounting actual cases significantly. This new data to me isn't really so reassuring. We haven't been overcounting deaths. If we find a higher rate of actual infections than predicted through antibody tests and thus a lower mortality rate, all that this really means is we've learned that we've mistaken the infectivity of COVID-19 for virulence. People who have died already don't get to come back. Now, it is good news that we have the data because we are more informed now on how to act.

Plus, for now, antibodies dont mean you are immune. Or at least we are not certain yet.

Relishing victimhood is their jam.

Sorry, I'm no victim just because I point out the abusive behaviour of you and your kind on the forum.

I suppose that being an asshole is your jam?

The reason many people "pee" on yours and Greenman's opinions isn't because of disagreement per se, but because you rarely if ever provide any supporting logic and argument to back your opinions. Instead, you just exude an entitlement that your opinions should be immune from criticism and debate just because they're your opinions. While rarely if ever extending that same to others' opinions.

Bull Shit. LOL

Never claimed I wasn't a sick puppy. Also never mentioned genetic conditions. I just find it funny some triple chinned neckbeards are clamoring for a coronavirus style health check when they aren't in any condition for that.

Even down to your name I see in you a person with a rare kind of honest introspection, a sort of brutal humility and willingness to face what you think are negative truths of who you are, but to me seem not to be truths at all but things you were made to feel. They are truths you feel and suffer from feeling only, and your recognition of them within you comes not from evil, but a real goodness within you.

I think you are better, not worse, than other people and that you need to feel for them. They do not have the strength you do to feel. Include them in your sorrow. This from someone who thinks he knows better than most what it is to suffer from self contempt. Once I was a little boy, one someone somewhere might have loved. Now I am somewhere and I think that boy is you.

Imagine what it would be like you were two things, conservative and liberal, and one part of you decided to take the dominant role on the belief that like for so many other opposites, one is good and one is evil. That would create a sort of split personality in which the dominant part had to good half had to constantly be on guard against becoming the evil part. My bet is that the result, depending on the level of threat, would cause a person to be quite jacked up and on the read to whack moles wherever they appear. Now put a bunch of people with this malady into a forum and I bet it would get something that sounds like this thread.

Does this standard apply to EVERYONE? Asking for a friend.

Exhibit 1 (out of many). Look at the supporting logic, argument, and debate (derogatory homosexual that does anal sex insult) ...Extending that same to others' opinions, you said? LOL.

They are going to pee on you regardless of what you post.

If you posted that they found a cure they would still pee on you.

You shouldn't let the fact that people will piss on you inure you to the realization that you may at times express some pretty piss poor opinions. Defensiveness can make a person blind. And consider, too, that people who piss on others do so because they have been pissed on. They could maybe use your sympathy.
