Coronavirus thread tangent

Everything in this post is wrong, I just want you to know that. The mortality rate from coronavirus is about 20 times higher than the flu. That .2% number you quote is correct--1 in 500--compares to 1 in 10,000 from the flu. Fewer people have died from it, but the death rate is much higher. And for older people, for those who have weaker immune systems, for for those who have lung disease? It's extremely dangerous.

Whatever you're talking about permanently altering your DNA is some straight tinfoil hat stuff.

Wash your hands.

Thanks for getting those numbers out there. There's a reason the markets are collapsing. China had to go to full-shutdown using all of their security apparatus - including digital tracking - and that has crushed global supply chains (with both supply and demand evaporating). Even then, the country still has dozens of deaths each day that we know about. The concern is that as they restart their economy and get people back into the factories it might take off again there.

And it's just ramping up in the rest of the world with oil demand having absolutely collapsed thanks to the tanking of demand in that market. As it gets rolling there could be tens of thousands of deaths. We don't want to minimize that possibility. The hope is that it can be contained. But it appears to be nearly as rampant as the flu, and it does appear to have a much higher death rate.

Here in the Northwest, I texted my nephew who works in Bellevue - Internet central. That's just a hope skip and a jump from Kirkland. Everyone in his company is now working from home. I'd guess that's the order of the day for lots of businesses. Again, the idea is to try to stop it in its tracks. We have to hope that happens.

Wow...just wow.  Posting one unrelated article about an experimental disease treatment studied in 2015 and an unrelated article showing that current Coronavirus vaccines in study are RNA vaccines somehow proves that they change your DNA.  Here's some light reading:  www.phgfoundation.org/briefing/rna-vaccines  You might learn something.  I apologize about the tone but this is absurd.  I don't post on baseball matters often as I don't know enough...this is a good rule to follow on other subjects.

Read your own link and tell me how your DNA is not being altered.  If an RNA strand is introduced into your cells to self replicate, that is exactly what is happening.

The link from 2015 is the same exact technique.

If you believe how they are counting numbers I guess.  But 80% of people with coronavirus show almost no symptoms and have no reason to even go to a doctor or get tested.  So the number is surely lower.

As with every sickness and disease, work on improving your immune system and there is nothing to ever fear.  Don't wait for "help" from big pharma and government.  We're far more likely to get cancer from our environments than we are to die from some mysterious magical bug.  Humans wouldn't even exist if they couldn't fight off all viruses most of the time.

The definition of vaccine does not necessarily include the words safe and effective.

The link I provided earlier listed all of the vaccines being developed for corona.  Most of them are gene injection therapy, which as the other link I posted shows, alters DNA.  One of the "features" of this new technology is quickness of development.

Putting RNA into cells to replicate is altering DNA.  How else does it replicate?  The only way that cells replicate is by copying DNA.

Go get 12 of them to be safe and continue to trust the people who run the world who thirst for extreme power over people and trillions of dollars.  The world is going great thanks to them.  All they ever do is tell the truth and have extreme compassion for human life.

Wow, do you really believe what you just said?

I litterally can't walk or heck even more without Remicade. Remicade tricks my immune system so it stops attacking my body. It's a miracle drug for people like me. There is no natural cure, we tried all that when I was young. It just gets worse and worse, to the point that I will be disabled sooner rather than later. The damage to my joints has already caused me to lose over 50% range of motion in a bunch of my joints. The cause is my immune system attacks my body. This isn't like I have diabetes because I consume too much sugar and don't workout. It's a problem with my DNA.

You litterally have no clue what you are talking about!

Hopefully we can all agree that Rob Manfred is a lizard person, though.

OK guys, for a numerate group there seems to be a lot of misinformation here. The flu has an average mortality rate of 0.1% in the US over the last 10 years with deaths totaling around 360,000 during that time frame. So on average 36,000 die each year and 36,000,000 get the flu. It appears that COVID-19 is harder to transmit than the flu which is a good thing, but at the moment the observed mortality rate is north of 3.0% or thirty times more lethal than the typical flu. This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact infections are likely under-reported (particularly in the US) due to lack of testing, a situation that is only going to improve slowly, but it's not going to 0.1%.
As for the markets, they have been living on a sugar high for years with everything going 110% perfectly. That bubble was just there waiting to be pricked and the slowdown that is already baked in the cake because of COVID-19 which provided the needle. Yes the virus is causing concern, but there is no panic like rich people with hot money losing in the market and the stampede for the exits is a sight to behold.

Da Roxbury nuclear acid. It's good stuff man.

Because Ebola and SARS are much harder to transmit and the Swine Flu had a lower mortality rate. Here no one really knows, early indications are that COVID-19 is 20 to 30 times more deadly than the flu and while it may be harder to transmit, no one knows for sure and no one knows how to tell if one has been exposed. Fear of the unknown is often the driver of panic and that's what we are faced with.
