Not sure why science/math minded people are buying into any COVID Fears. The death rates are 1 percent, and it particularly targets old and obese people.
I have no problem getting vaccinated and paying for n95 masks for old and obese people.
But COVID reminds me of post 9-11 terrorist fears. Statistically insignificant and gets people glued to TVs. Instead of the military industrial complex winning tax dollars, big pharma wins tax dollars.
I just want a science based approach to these pandemics, instead we got hysteria.
- effie 5y ago> Not sure why science/math minded people are buying into any COVID Fears. It's a way to feel important and make money. Exposure, likes, quotes, clicks. People love audience. Kudos to scientists/science presenters who keep their cool and present a balanced view of COVID-related information despite the widespread censorship and hit pieces. I can recommend dr. Mobeen Syed's YT channel, he's bringing in interesting guests (often doctors) where they discuss all new knowledge on COVID treatments, vaccines etc.
- skybrian 5y agoA 1% death rate (10,000 micromorts) may not be Russian roulette but it’s scary high by modern standards. Compare with skydiving (8 per jump) or giving birth (120 or 170 micromorts, depending). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micromort https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micromort
- deregulateMed 5y agoCan you re-run those numbers to eliminate obesity and old age? These groups can wear n95 masks and lockdown. If they can't comply with those orders, it wouldn't help if the rest of the population complied either.
