This shouldn't be judged only on the amount of deaths alone is my point...the reaction is so huge, why??

Like I said, I agree with the pure stats of deaths to cases and the flu kills more etc....but thos thing is a whole lot bigger and we're not long into it.... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are going to be real vulnerable people in real need and the choices now may decide their fate then. A few tough choices for a lot of people in the next week.or so mate... Let's see if financial help is given or if the people decide they will make their own minds up on what should happen.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they did nothing we could reasonably expect hundreds of thousands to millions dying globally over the course of it. Not just that but because it's a pandemic, it'll hit the whole world in a short period and so put a large percentage of people out of action si ultaneously and swamp resources. There would be absolute mayhem, especially with today's level of connectivity. Be all sorts of social unrest I expect. I still don't consider the threat to life or health particularly concerning. Were dealing with it pretty well. What's concerned me is how much concern there seems to be! Let's just keep f***ing calm! Look at how many have died, in total so far. Do you know how many people die every day anyway?..... 150'000!!! Every day on average! Lol, nah not aliens, I believe they just want to study us. I'll save my camp fire stories for after this crisis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair, maybe I'm just a psycho. I look at the data, not policies to judge severity. I can imagine much worse futures than this. This doesnt even begin to scare me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicepix 5,650 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Micron has made an announcement to the people that is a clear as mud. so his Interior Department are scrabbling around trying to answer the pertinent questions. Apparently if I go to work tomorrow I have to write myself a note explaining what I am doing and why, so I can show it to the hundreds of thousands of police who will be patrolling the roads.

Your only looking at stats still mate... it dont matter how many die daily or how many die from.this disease in the grand scheme of things...the stats will.eventually show the whole picture...and the full death toll associated could be huge...we cant cope with the amount of sick people in one quick hit... But.... I completely agree, we also cant cope with a complete shut down, the world has become what it is and it is far removed from the simpler times unfortunately...you just cant go backwards quick enough....90% of people would die if the supermarkets closed for a month!!

I don't understand that. Yes I'm looking at stats/data, is that wrong? Yes I agree it's inconclusive at this point. But inconclusive is inconclusive. Ie it doesn't conclude that were all doomed.

tandors 888 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Best stats to look at is the diamond princess. A cruise ship full of old people, cant remember the infection and death rates but I'm sure they weren't anything to get hysterical over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry.... my point is the stats about flu deaths v covid 19 deaths or total deaths on average every day mean nothing in this instance imo... Ebola killed 70% (I think) of the people who contracted it...but it barely got out of a couple of countries in Africa... This has gone around the globe in a couple of months and the end result will be counted up in the deaths caused because of it, not purely down to it.... I agree we shouldn't panic, but we should certainly pull the stops out to prevent the spread... you just dont see a world wide reaction like this ever.. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
