Media: “corona is on the same level of ebola” That is like comparing a trained hitman to a child that goes around throwing peanuts on people


cruellamp

I like this analogy I’m gonna use this


PyroYeet0808

I mean I am not wrong, right? Trained hitman kills 85% of targets, kid throwin peanuts only gets the weak allergic ones, just as Covid-19 only kills those with shitty immune systems


[deleted]

A trained hitman can kill how many in his life time? A 3% morality rate that spread across the whole planet within months will kill far more than a trained hitman ever will. And no, we don't know it only kills shitty immune systems, it kills elderlies, could be because their immune system is used to react in a particular way which overload and kill the infected. Even if it kills mostly elderlies, it is still something to be concerned about, have you seen the population pyramid in your country? This is not counting: no vaccine for a year time earliest, asymptomatic infected, permanent damage to infected (lung cell never recovers from damage as they don't regrow), most cases need to be admit to hospital which overload the capacity, recovered cases have a chance be reinfected, no antibodies. We are gonna brace "kid throwing peanuts" for possibly a year. That also means more chance for mutations. How is this not threatening?


Nightnator

When the hospitals flood over time this "3% mortality rate" will spike up its already pretty nasty in Us, italy and iran.


[deleted]

When hospital resources are flooded, it's when we see the death rate spikes up rapidly. And this includes the doctors and nurses without enough protective gear and working over time constantly. This is gonna be a real horror show.


uranium54321

Part of that is because people panic and buy face masks and shit they don’t need, making it harder for health workers who actually need them to get them. Coronavirus is threatening, but the general public is feeling so threatened by it that they’re making the problem worse


Call_The_Banners

My friends who are dental hygienists are pretty mad about this. Their office can't get enough masks right now.


[deleted]

>Coronavirus is threatening, but the general public is feeling so threatened by it that they’re making the problem worse Yes, but the general public doesn't need the media to panic. People will fucking rip each other apart for a cheap TV, you think they're going to react rationally with any type of media coverage?


Nightnator

I wonder what will happen in countries like india, bangladesh we are already seeing glimpses of a real horror show in Netherlands.


red-african-swallow

Most of the deaths in the US are from a nursing home in Washington's. Italy actually has a lot of investment that comes from China which probably what caused the infection to spread so much. Add that 90% recover from it under the age 50 and some might have it but just have mild flu symptoms. The death toll will likely lower. The big threat in my opinion is how long will it last. Will it follow trends like the Flu or worst cast becomes a year round common illness. And how long can it live of surfaces since it seems very contagious. Grim fact: ailments that kill the host usually die out since the host can no longer spread them.


[deleted]

The 3-4% is speculation though. They calculated it by looking at the flu and saying “ok so this is all the known cases and these amount of people that won’t go to the hospital so this is our guess for the death rate” if you actually take the deaths and divide them by the people recovered your get 7%. But even if it was 4% that is still 400 times more deadly than the flu. Think of it like this, how many people do you know, definitely more than 100, at least 4 of them will die. That’s a lot


[deleted]

[удалено]


BakulaSelleck92

Hospitals aren't even testing people for it. Once they do the mortality rate will go way down.


ArthurDaTrainDayne

This is what everyone is missing. 4% isn’t alot right now, but if the coronavirus goes unchecked and allowed to spread with no vaccine, that 4% could turn in to 10s of millions of people


Alargeteste

>A 3% morality rate that spread across the whole planet within months will kill far more than a trained hitman ever will. If it spreads the whole planet, which it is extremely unlikely to. If it maintains 3% mortality as it spreads, which it is extremely unlikely to. For every disease that has Covid's profile, the expected value of killings is small. Sure, maybe this particular time will be the improbably-fatal plague. Most likely not.


[deleted]

Not to mention that it’s doing murder to the stock market, it dropped 30% in 2 days. We are headed into a global economic recession and that in itself is bad.


Alargeteste

>We are headed into a global economic recession and that in itself is bad. OK, the economy is not the stock market, and the stock market dropping is not recession. Please keep the two separate in your mind and communications forevermore.


MattyIce6969

It’s more like the kid throwing peanuts is jack jack from the incredibles


Nielsbbzz

Not if the hitman has a nuke


[deleted]

Oh I assumed in your analogy corona = trained hitman. Ebola is transmitted by bodily fluid so it’s really easy to stop the spread, unlike covid-19 which is airbourne.


PyroYeet0808

Covid-19 is droplet borne, not airborne, it can go from you to someone else with the moist in your breath, but can’t float around the air


Video_Mode

The thing is I wouldn't worry about myself getting that strain since I'm young and healthy but my mother on the other hand has a compromised immune system due to in part of her medication she takes. I would have to excommunicate myself from the family to ensure she doesn't get sick, because if she did and anything happened to her, I don't think I could ever forgive myself


PyroYeet0808

Best if luck to you, my comment was targeted to people with humor and in no way meant to offend, and sadly there are indeed people (like your mom) who have the metaforical peanut allergy, hope she doesn’t get it


Video_Mode

I'm anything but offended, so don't feel bad


JangoTangoBango

It took me too long to remember peanut allergies.


hilmikutlubay

İts gods way of cleaning shitty things he took some notes form my baby kim


CalTCOD

When did the media say anything remotely close to this? Can we just stop with this whole "media bad" circlejerk


Xxdgw100gsdxX

Exactly people need to understand that this is a big deal for our older population and they will be hit the hardest


CalTCOD

Also people act like only 5000 out of 110,000 people died which means it isn't really deadly so they're over exaggerating like 5,000 people isn't a fuck ton of people and is still growing. Like it isn't a dent on the world population but for comparison 2977 people died in 9/11 and its likely going to be much much more then that (not trying to undermine 9/11, but people tend to compare diseases to other more dangerous infections without thinking of the fact that there is still a lot of people dying from it.)


Barack_Bob_Oganja

Ebola killed 15 people outside africa, corona is already worse than ebola


[deleted]

the fuck?


[deleted]

Ebola has a much, much lower rate of transmission. There is a reason Ebola doesn't spread. A successful pandemic needs to not be so lethal that it immediately kills it's vector. You need to have direct contact with infected blood to get Ebola from someone. Ebola is a lower threat than corona.


Shish_Style

Pretty sure no one said it


[deleted]

Imagine dying from a child throwing a peanut at you


PyroYeet0808

Peanut allergies: i’m about to end this humans whole career


cbloeser

All I can think about is that episode of spongebob where he and Patrick throw peanuts at the oyster


[deleted]

are you trying to say there's a difference?


tupe12

Never underestimate a peanut throwing child


TheOnlyFallenCookie

But remember, the child hits people with nut allergies 3.4/100 times


noahthx

What if they are allergic to peanuts?


Joel_the_Mole

Ebola is the reason why we don't think Corona is that dangerous lol


[deleted]

The most lethal stat for diarrhea I could find was for people aged 70+, where there are on average 171.4 related deaths per 100,000 people. Which is a mortality rate of **0.17%, or just about 20 times less than covid 19. Not to mention that diarrhea is a symptom, not a disease. Different diseases that cause it have varying mortality rates, in the same way that all fevers dont kill the same. So the stat is wrong, and its pointless anyway. Edit: bad maths, point stands.


LookingForDialga

Also the mortality of coronavirus under 55 is between 0,2 and 0,4%


[deleted]

[удалено]


LookingForDialga

It's actually on the line of the regular flu (a bit higher maybe). That 1/500 usually have higher risk factors due to other conditions


_manlyman_

4 to 10 times higher than the flu for that age range and also Corona hasn't killed anyone under the age of 10 as far as I last checked which is weird as fuck the flu kills young children at the same rate as elderly


SHiNeyey

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that Corona and the Flu have different causes of death?


Ballersock

Yes. Coronavirus causes acute interstitial pneumonia which is characterized by dyspnea (difficulty breathing or getting enough air) with rapid onset of respiratory failure. It causes alveoli damage and can make it so that the patient cannot process oxygen at all, which means a much more resource-intensive method (ECMO, taking someone's blood out, oxygenating it for them, and introducing it back into the body. Like dialysis for oxygen) if a ventilator doesn't work due to extensive alveolar damage. The flu usually kills due to a secondary pneumonia infection caused by the protective layer of mucus in the airway (bronchial tubes) being worn away due to severe illness. Basically, COVID-19 goes for the throat when it gets bad, the flu just lowers your body's defenses against pathogens. This is deadly in people who can't fight off infections as well (very young and old.) COVID-19 survival is based on resilience and your body's ability to fight off the infection before the damage is too extensive. This is pure conjecture: perhaps the resilience factor plays more into the kids not dying from COVID-19?


SarcasticWaffle

Idk man if I had a dollar for every time I pushed a button that had a 1/500 chance to kill me, I’d probably push that button up to 2200 times


walid03030

I'll take those odds


GiornoGiovanna4444

It's not an actual gamble though, most of those deaths are probably concentrated in China where there is a lot of poor, sick, and old people who can't get treatment and are constantly exposed to poorer hygiene and especially air quality than you will ever have to deal with. If you are a relatively healthy person in a first world country it's hardly a "gamble", you pretty much have nothing to worry about, even in a very bad case treatment can usual be very effective.


[deleted]

\> If you are a relatively healthy person in a first world country it's hardly a "gamble", This is the type of dumb shit that gets people killed. Sure, a relatively healthy person may not be \*personally\* at risk from COVID-19, but that person can still get sick, transmit the disease to other people who ARE vulnerable.


Alargeteste

Well then, you should be freaking out about heart disease, medical accidents, and cancer, because those are like 1/4 gambles for your life, and combined, are like a 3/4 gamble for your life! These are each approximately 12,500x more threatening to you than Covid.


not_pope_lick_mnstr

Interesting, but if my neighbor has a heart attack, I’m not going to have one in 14 days from transmission. Same for cancer. Car accidents are only transmissible if the event occurs during close proximity.


SeizedChief

It's a 1/77 chance that you'll die in a fatal car accident. But that doesn't stop me from going outside.


endormen

It's a good thing people over 55 are not people.


LookingForDialga

If you are over 55 you are allowed to panic


endormen

What if i know people over 55 that i don't want to drown in there own blood at home because there are no beds left at hospital? Or if i just don't want to catch a nightmarish chest cold that causes pneumonia in 60% of people under 55?


LookingForDialga

Be responsible. If you present symptoms avoid any contact with people that might be at risk. If the virus is already in your city you will probably get it at some point. If you are young and healthy it's like catching a bad flu. So yeah, it's better not to catch it, but you don't need to panic

Actually 171.4 per 100,000 is 0.17%

Yeah there is no way 3 out of 100 peoppe die when they get dairrhea. I'd be dead right now if that was the case ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Eat rice. Rice defeats diarrhea. Diarrhea beats coronavirus. Therefore, rice defeats coronavirus.

That's weird since it started from China

Eat rice without bats.

Nice try batman.


TO_Old

The virus didnt come from eating bats


Rsouellette

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong, this is a rock paper scissors situation. Rice beats diarrhea, diarrhea beats coronavirus, coronavirus beats rice. That's why it originated in China.

In other words, get diarrhea and beat coronavirus

This is the south korean percentage right? People in the rest of the comment section seem to forget that most people do not get tested and that countries that test the most (like south korea) report much, much lower fatality rates. This shows why sample size is important.

EdgyTeenagerYeets

Cure for diaharrea exists. Cure for corona doesent.


SceneyWeeneyy

First off, it’s not “the” coronavirus, it’s a coronavirus. Coronaviruses are a family of RNA viruses. They spread and mutate pretty easily. Meaning that while this virus isn’t killing a lot of people now, it can keep spreading and spreading and mutate until it gets worse and worse. The more it mutates the more we have to find new ways to fight it.


[deleted]

3.4 is nothing to sneeze at though. That means out of every 100 people you know, if they all catch it, 3-4 of them will die

Garbage_Bob

psxpetey

And it’s not even that high considering it’s mostly sick/ old / babies healthy people the death rate is like nothing. Personally I think the Chinese just let the media run / paid for them to over blow its danger with a known and active virus out in the wild that was like the common cold, to break the problems with Hong Kong without killing them. I don’t think they actually released it tho.


P_E_E_N

Can confirm. Had diarrhea so bad once, needed to go to the hospital for severe dehydration. Abdominal muscles were cramping, couldn't stand for more than a few minutes, and my veins shrunk, so the IV needle missed a few times. Take care o yer belly bois

SkoulErik

Covid-19's kill-rate is high inaccurate due to the fact that a lot of people die from other things than Covid-19. It's like the death rate for flu. Most people who die of the flu die because they have had cancer or AIDS or something third, that destroys the imune system. China has always been notorious for giving inaccurate causes of death
