Economy is screwed either way, but for the people it would be better if it goes slowly - then our healthcare systems can deal with it.
If it just goes unchecked exponentialy for 2 months then significant fraction of world population will die. Like 2-digit percentage.
- eyegor 7y agoHow could a 2-digit percentage die when the fatality rate so far is substantially lower (~3% last I saw)?
- hcknwscommenter 7y agoBecause that is the fatality rate range (0.9-5%) when everyone gets a ventilator/ICU bed when needed.
- Buttons840 7y agoFrom what I've heard 12% have complications that would benefit from medical help, and 5% become "critical" and are likely to die without help. See https://youtu.be/BYTFk34nhoI https://youtu.be/BYTFk34nhoI from the 10 to 12 minute mark.
- risyachka 7y agoI believe fatality rate is calculated using diagnosed cases, while the real number is probably way higher so fatality rate is probably close 0.9-1%.
- BubRoss 7y agoThat does not line up with any data collected before. Not only that, demographically the hardest hit population (80+) are not in the time of their lives where they spend the bulk of their money nor are they in the most productive time of their lives.
