This is nothing more than a tantrum. Nobody can "prove" it. Humanity is still learning about COVID-19. No model is going to predict the outcome of closing the economy. It has not been done in modern times at this scale.
>0.5% death rate for population
Google is showing the death rate at ~3% worldwide. 6 times higher than your nonsense 0.5% water-level figure.
You're commenting later down the chain that you wish to frolic at the beach. The fact is, you're sick of inconvenience and will stomp your feet until someone hears how sick of it you are. Go cry elsewhere.
- lambda-11235 6y agoIt is important to differentiate terminology here. According to DDG (which closely aligns with Google's results) the case fatality rate, the ratio of deaths to confirmed case, is 3.5%. For the death rate, the ratio of deaths relative to population size, is 0.01%. Confirmed Cases: 21,991,954 Deaths: 777,018 World Pop.: ~7,800,000,000 Case Fatality Rate = Deaths/Confirmed Cases = ~3.5% Death Rate = Deaths/World Pop. = ~0.01%
- aktenlage 6y agoIt would be ridiculous to assume the Deaths/World Population figure is the risk for yourself. That's similar to claiming that, because only 93% of all humans ever born have died so far, your risk of dying is 93%. It may be mathematically sound, but completely ignores the context of the problem: That for the living/not-yet-infected the result is still outstanding.
- Peepootoler 6y agoUnfortunately your risk of dying is 100%.
- gadders 6y agoCase Fatality rate in the uk is ~1.5%, and still dropping: https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/the-declining-case-fatality-ratio-in-england/ https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/the-declining-case-fatality-ra... It is also very strongly correlated with pre-existing conditions and age.
