t the end of the day less than 1% of Americans in all likelihood will test positive.
Which day?
Because the daily new case rate is still accelerating.
No reason to think it won’t hit the 3.3 million mark by May 1st if it doesn’t flatten out shortly.

You can’t catch cancer from someone else, dipshit

Actually studies have shown that second hand smoke along with pollution cause cancers so technically yes you can. We don’t care about it because the time to diagnose is so long. If we did care we would enact more aggressive regulatory policy

You should probably get the HPV vaccine.

I agree with this conceptually. The days to double is still tremendous in some locations. Good news is we are seeing a solid slowdown in Seattle. For the record, my sources there say test results are significantly backed up.

People are dying in 3-14 days of showing symptoms. Tell me you’re not this stupid.

So...if cancer had the infection and diagnostic rate of this virus, you're saying we would enact a similar regulatory policy we are doing for the virus now?
What is the purpose of your thread then?

To let us know he lacks any cognitive ability and to also warn us that theres retards like him "in the medical field" so good luck to us.

I am saying that in the big scheme of things this virus isn’t that significant on a global landscape. Geographically there are certainly tremendous impacts. For those on TD it is magnified by where we live. However none of you will change your diet or habits because of this. This virus drastically impacts individuals with comorbid conditions at a higher rate. At the end of the day this state’s health won’t improve because of this. You want to do something to impact COVID or future pandemics... we, myself included, should all improve our health.

Which would mean the situation is worse than is currently indicated, which would hurt your point.
Are you a special kind of stupid?

That's not how that works you fricking reatrd

One of the stupidest things I’ve seen all week, and that is saying something
Posted on 3/28/20 at 11:51 pm to CaptainJ47
If cancer were to spread like this virus we 100% would.

Dont speak the truth here. They HATE it.
Posted on 3/28/20 at 11:52 pm to Volvagia
Actually it is quite the opposite my friend. Deaths are known. Can we agree on that? However can you tell me with any certainty the people with it testing positive? No so the only thing that could happen would be the denominator would increase. Condition specific morality = mortalities / known infections. Therefore if testing is backed up and known infection numbers are suppressed the mortality rate is artificially high.

Somebody gets it.
Posted on 3/28/20 at 11:56 pm to dawgfan24348
Let me ask you, what is more important to inflect regulatory change then... speed of expiration (death) or scale? I ask because what we have here is speed and not scale. I will agree that spread is very rapid and death can come quick, but can we not agree that scale of this isn’t that significant (mortality wise)?
Posted on 3/28/20 at 11:57 pm to CaptainJ47
Sorry, I’m still focusing on your assessment it’s going to infect around one percent of Americans.
Which in case you forgot was a core premise in your OP.
If you can’t even wrap your head around the infection rate properly, figuring out what the death rate to apply to that number is quite pointless.
