    Says in the report he feels fine and doesn't have any symptoms. I thought this coronavirus thing was supposed to kill people???


    !@*#@#!@. I see how people want posters live you banned. I want to yell at my computer.

    Many people can get this and not have symptoms. Say 50% of people are fine, 20% severely sick and 1% die. Adjust any of the numbers however you want. Hell say 99.9% of people are fine and .1% drop dead (that's still 1/1000). Would still be very serious.


    You really puzzle me, Wejo. Of all the posts, this is the one that finally gets you to lose your mind? It's the first time I've ever seen you lose your calm and show some human emotion. A sarcastic remark noting how the Coronavirus doesn't cause notable illness in most people? Or is it also wrong to point out the regular flu also has a non-zero death rate?


    That's it. Taunt the moderator. That'll win him over.


    Math Professor is a c*nt. Ban him

    After hearing Trump often say things that make me cringe or wonder if he actually believes what he is saying he comes out the below answer that one would never expect to hear from a politician.

    President Trump was asked whether the well-connected should get expedited testing. "No, I wouldn't say so," he said. "But perhaps that's been the story of life."

    What I would like to know is how it is so difficult for the "average" person to even get tested but every nba player has been tested EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO SYMPTOMS!!


    They have to protect all the spectators who won't be at their games anyway.

    actually made me laugh...

    sometimes you just suddenly get the realization how meaningless all this is... but then you're sucked back into the rat race by a manager pinging you on Slack for work to prepare for the next team video call...

    Talk about an overreaction. The typical flu viruses kill .1% of those infected. Should we continuously shut down the world because there is a chance people may die? There's a certain risk we have to live with.

    I think this poster is just pointing out the wild overreaction and the ridiculous numbers being tossed around.

    Also, the fact that this disease is really only dangerous to the frail and very old is important to be aware of. At a certain point in your life it all becomes natural causes. I'm not talking about a middle-aged person, I'm talking about people requiring constant care in nursing homes. If this virus actually had the reported death rates and also affected those in good health we should take a different approach. But the media and "experts" are completely misconstruing the situation and doing the stats differently than is done for other viruses in a way that completely irresponsibly has the public terrified about a minor threat.

    Do you mean 1/100 is dead 1/1000 is 0.1% not 1%?

    The common cold is more contagious and more deadly than Covid-19.
    Look at the numbers.
