Been nice knowing you all. Most of you all.

People testing positive seem to be on older side.

The Spanish Flu infected about a quarter of the population of the entire world in 1918, killing at least 40M and possibly as many as 100M people, with a mortality rate of around 1-2%, putting it right around that of COVID-19.

Obviously, we're a long way from that, and medicine is vastly better today. On the flip side, it seems that COVID-19 can transmit before infected people show any symptoms, or at least any symptoms worse than those of the common cold. And for all the advances in medicine, we're not really equipped for a pandemic; the number of potential patients vastly exceeds the capacity of our hospitals and clinics even in the US, let alone less developed countries.

This could be really, really bad.

”I have the coronavirus. And it hasn't been that bad.”

Killer fucking virus? Sounds more like the impossible whopper to me.

This will be back to business as usual in no time.

This could be really really bad or this will be back to business as usual in no time. I'm in a glass case of emotions jesus fuck

I did not know how COVID-19 Kills.

It attacks the lungs, and in about 20% of patients, infections can get more serious. As the virus enters lung cells, it starts to replicate, destroying the Cells. The immune system response to this invader can also destroy lung tissue and cause inflammation. The end result can be pneumonia. The restriction of oxygen causes cascade failures as organs fail. About 3% to 5% of patients end up in intensive care.

I don't think those numbers (mortality rate) are right, despite seeing them in a lot of places... I think the generally accepted facts are:

- World population was under 2 billion.
- About 500M people got sick.
- Somewhere between 35M and 100M people died

If that's true, the mortality rate (deaths/cases) is between 7% and 20%, not 1-2%. That's a massive difference, math-wise, on the potential devastation of a disease.

I think the reporting is confusing death/population with death/cases... somewhere between 2% and 5% of the population died, but only 1/4 of the population was sick.

yes, and the spanish flu killed young people at a high rate, which this virus doesn't seem to do.

Maybe killing off a bunch of old people who the young people have to support will help the economy in the long run. China probably engineered it for that purpose given their demographic problem.
