[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, how scared should I be right now?  What is the likelihood that I will get this virus?  What is the likelihood that I will die?[/quote]

High. You are stressing. This puts you in the highest risk :lol: 
Just kidding. Depends how old are you, what other health issues do you have and how overworked and sleep depraved are you. All factors.
In theory 3.4 people die in. 100. In practice this changes up  or down depending on the contributing factor.

If you are 22 female, non smoking, no known health issues, well rested and athletic, you are i n low risk group.

If you are a 69 male, smoker, overweight, with high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, diabetes and you drink to the point of liver damage, and your kidneys require dialysis, then stay home tape the door and pray. [/quote]

This hasn't been how it is playing out in other countries.  It sounds reasonable but it's not totally accurate. [/quote]

The vast majority of people who have died and also needed critical care do fall into the latter category. IT doesn't mean the virus hasn't made younger people sick but virtually all of them recover. The average age of death in Italy is 81 as a reference point. It is something useful to know because the biggest thing I'm taking away from this pandemic is to stay away from old people. [/quote]
