@Bill_Woo 6% of cases which have had an outcome resulted in death not 0.0002%

Sewage from infected people will contain elements of Covid-19 therefore theoretically if you test a large sample of communal sewage from a town you can roughly work out how many people are infected judging by the concentration of COVID-19 in the sewage This will help let governments and hospitals know ahead of time what it is to come seeing as symptoms take up to 14 days to surface and this will grant the local government and hospitals time to prepare

@britshell not at all. People think a 1% chance of dying is tiny but in actual fact if 1% of the human race died from covid it would kill over 75 million people which would make it the deadliest pandemic ever, and that's neglecting a lot of factors that increase COVID-19 deaths. Currently 6% of cases which have had am outcome resulted in death so this disease is far more serious than you think

Do you know what the spanish flu was

@muscovymapping8896 so I'd expect when you say "it's just like the flu" you wouldn't be so bold as to think the flu didn't kill tens of millions

@muscovymapping8896 you've ventured so deep into conspiracy territory you don't even make sense

That's not possible, how would you have blood of someone who never went to you?
1
Because we have vaccines for that
1
So how would you explain the fact that 6% of cases that had an outcome resulted in death
1
Yeah no I'd rather spend more time with my grandparents than tell them to roll over and die because darwinism or some shit like that
1
They did say that, they just said it was less probable than someone with symptoms
1
That makes no sense whatsoever

Gotta love the airplanes, it's practically mandatory for a handover productions video 🤣

Yeah remember the spanish flu

@britshell are you serious, COVID-19 hasn't infected 7.5 billion people britshell it's infected only 18.6 million. Of those 18.6 million 12.5 million have recovered and 701,000 have died, which puts COVID-19's current death rate at 6% Furthermore if we just let the disease run rampant without any precautions hospitals will be overloaded and patients won't be able to receive proper treatment which will bolster the death rate. We can disagree on how many precautions need to be taken but there is no denying that this disease could be the deadliest in human history if we did nothing

@britshell the key difference here however is that those plagues were not nearly as contagious and the world wasn't as developed as it is now. What could have taken a plague months to travel from continent to continent took days with COVID-19 thanks to air travel. What makes COVID-19 dangerous is it's incredibly high contagoisness where as SARS-COV-1 had a much higher fatality rate but much lower contagoisness and thus it was stopped before killing even 1,000 people. Same with Ebola, a disease with a very high fatality rate, but bot as contagious and thankfully emerged in a rural area that could be quarentined

@britshell I've already said to you the flu is quite deadly e.g the spanish flu which killed millions additionally the reason those plagues and flu don't kill millions of people per year is primarily because we have vaccinations against, of which we don't have for COVID-19. The flu already kills hundreds of thousands per year and this is primarily in the poor regions of Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia where medicine is scarce and most people are not vaccinated Until we can find a safe, proven vaccine for COVID-19 precautions, light or strict depending on the severity, will need to be taken. I'd rather my grandparents stay alive Herd immunity would also work but that would mean we will need a slow spread of the virus so as not to overwhelm the hospitals and medical centres which means we'll still have to take precautions so we can minimise deaths
