Or I’m realistic and worried about individuals other than my pockets that will be just fine 3-6 months after this is over.

Well good for you! I’m glad you have the resources to lose 6 months of income and still be just fine! You do realize that 80% of Americans can’t go that long without income, right? Talk about selfishness. You’re the epitome of it.

Yes, when someone recovers they don't deduct that number from the total number of cases.

You guys just misunderstood what I said. No problem, I'llexplain. What I was saying was people who already had the virus and recovered but were never tested because there were not enough test or more likely they were asymptomatic. They are not figured into cfr. Could be a large unknown number of people. We just don't know.

Agree totally. Why not start a 'Coronavirus: Opinions' thread? That thread can house the back forth bickering about who is right or wrong based on political stance/age/education/time "studying this vrius"/death rate vs economic impact stuff.

While this thread can contain posts(not discussion) about virus data/govt reaction(not whether it's right or wrong)/where you can find supplies or food.

Feel free to discuss. But do so knowing I'm right and everyone else is wrong(unless you agree with me and then you get to be right too).

Sarcasm in the last paragraph intended.

I will run this through the staff. I would be ok with it but to me a thread like that would be enter and post at your own risk with limited moderation

I didnt misunderstand anything, I simply answered another posters question...

Yeah, the CFR is the total number of all deaths divided by the number of total infected (×100).

That is incorrect. It is the total number of deaths divided by the total number of reported cases x 100. Infection number is unknown but likely far higher than cases. Cases are near meaningless as a metric to measure deadliness of the virus.

When I said infected, I meant known infections, as in reported cases. It would make no sense to include an unknown variable into the equation.

Could also have a thread where people insult and be mean to each other. Corona Bitter

Can I start it? I have A LOT of new and interesting insults. I’ve made grown men cry with insults. I’m not proud of that fact. Who in the hell am I kidding. Of course I’m proud of that fact. Who wouldn’t be? Yeah, I’m that guy. The class clown and resident snarky a-hole whose sarcasm knows no bounds. I have the mind and sense of humor of a fifteen year old.

Its going to be 80-92 across the region, people need to get outside and drink it in man. I think a little sun and fresh air might do folks some good

Just came back from a walk. It is getting that summer mugginess feel. But Columbia SC is usually worst for heat and humidity. But still nice to get out and see that mother nature is still doing her thing

A closed environment with a good representation of the general population where everyone is tested and monitored would give you a good estimate of mortality rate.

I look at all this math that hurts me head. Im sure its all important but what means the most to myself is RECOVERY. If some would focus a little more on that.....

You’d rather go back and start working causing massive spikes in infection and I’m selfish? You’re worried about your pockets over the safety of others. Please don’t not call me selfish for actually thinking of others over myself.

I seriously dont think he will. I really thought when we hit 2000 cases and 50 deaths He would, but he keeps dodging the issue. He’s more worried about hurting the feelings of the people in rural Georgia that got him elected than doing what’s right. It’s almost embarrassing to see the state have the numbers it does and we have no leadership.
 
I thought New York already had a quarantine. If New Jersey and Connecticut don't already have one it'd make sense to impose one there though.

Why not harp on your county to shut down. They can do everything the governor can do locally and would be the ones to enforce a statewide mandate anyways.

Oh we have, our commissioner closed parks the other day, issued a county emergency declaration, but has said thats all thats needed at this time. I know we only have 19 confirmed cases here in our county, but our bordering counties have way more. We trying to do are part, Ive been out 3 times in 2 weeks to go to the store.
 
The government in Tehran continues to claim that there are only ~2,500 deaths in Iran. They have about as much credibility as Beijing does.
