Okay... thanks Reboot, that is sort of reassuring... But if I catch this virus and it kills me, I am going to sue your ass!!! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many countries are now delaying taxes - can they do the same with death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 4 hours ago, Reboot said: The stats are far from perfect. Firstly, the confirmed cases are not reflective of the true rate of infection. That's almost certainly way higher. But they are enough to go on in terms of this being a serious situation. I tend to take an optimistic view on the stats - the infection rate will be higher, but the fact that people are infected but don't know it is a good thing, no? And the mortality is being calculated against confirmed rates so that will, in reality, be much lower. Regardless, the only real questions are how serious is it, and is it getting better or worse? Even using the wrong denominators we can plot the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
