Would you get on a plane if there was a 2 percent chance it would crash? Shame on YOU.

That's just idiotic.

Why is the world do you think this is funny or in anyway something to be done at this time?

Yes if 80% of the country gets and a 2% death rate..that’s only 5.232 million deaths. That is not even close to the numbers of deaths in WW2.

US deaths?

Yeah, I keep seeing people compare projected deaths from corona with deaths in WW2. US deaths during WW2 are estimated at 400-500k. So having even 1 million deaths in the US from this disease would be unprecedented, especially if it happened only over the course of 18 months or so. The 1918 pandemic is thought to have killed 500-600k in the US.

Are you reading what this is doing to the lungs of those who don't die?

To EVERY SINGLE PERSON? REALLY?

Unless you are all fighter pilots, I do not believe for a second that this many people would fly if the risk of planes crashing were increased by 10 million percent. A 2% crash risk is 100,000x the current risk. You really have no concerns about this?

That's more than the number of deaths in the US for WWII.

It’s still an incredibly low risk

10 times the number of people who died in the US during WW2 (approx 500k).

I don't understand comments like this. Can you do math? What 2% of millions of people? Did you read the article? If you get a severe case requiring ventilation, you can have permanent scarring to your lungs, muscle atrophy, and cognitive decline.

2% is huge. Would you get on a plane or into a car if you had an 80% chance of merely being very uncomfortable, 18% of being injured to require hospitalization and possibly never fully recover and ONLY a 2% chance of death? Because by not stopping this in its tracks, you're saying we should all just get on that airplane.

What about all the people who will lose their jobs, many of whom already survive on thin margins, children who are going under, immigrants who cannot send remittances, etc, etc. There are many other important considerations. Try to calm down and think rationally.

Children who live on the margins economically are much more likely to have parents with health conditions that put them at higher risk of severe complications and death. What will happen to those children if their parents die or become disabled with permanent lung damage? The tradeoff between medical and economic concerns is not as simple as you suggest.

It’s also careless.

PP gets on plane.

Contracts corona.

Symptomless for 2 weeks, traipses around the country. Handing change to stores, opening doors that moms of nicu babies touch. Picks up can of soda, puts it back. Virus stays on these items for 1-4 days.

Corona doesn’t ever manifest in PP on plane.

But over the course of 30 days, 25 people are exposed inadvertently and do get sick.

They all need to be in a hospital. 12 people need a ventilator. There are on 6 available, which go to the healthiest and most likely to live. Ergo, 6 people die.

It’s irresponsible and careless to not quarantine. There is no cure, there is no government support to increase our capacity, and there is no way to test everyone to know who is and isn’t a carrier or has/hasn’t been exposed.

Not surprising the replies you’re getting. A lot of women are as good at math as men. 2% means 1 out of 50 planes crabs. No one would fly.
