when do we quit with this covid stuff....


Mar 17, 2021, 2:03 PM

of course, i know we have to remain cautious and the virus has caused havoc. But, i just listened to coach brownells interview on WCCP and he was telling qualk and kelly about all the precautions they must go through in Indiana at the tourney (i can only assume all teams are being treated to the same rules). He said when they arrived they had to quarantine in their rooms for 30 hours. They have to eat in their rooms. They have limited practice time. They are only allowed 10 minutes OUTSIDE at a time during the day. They are limited on team meetings and gatherings. They are NOT allowed to go out and about at all. And, heres the kicker... they had to all pass 2 negative covid tests. This is crazy!

You mean 1.8% of confirmed cases result in death. In the US 9 of course).

So that .15 rate is under-guess by about 1200%

And that is HIGHLY dependent on the ability of the person to receive full medical attention. Those that do not have access to healthcare (like full ICUs, etc) see the about 300% to the 4-8% range

Re-read there FutureDoc. Poster said .5% (or .005). I said .15% (or .0015) of the population. Simple math. 330,000,000 times .15% = 495,000 people. 330,000,000 times .5% = 1,650,000 people.

Re: .5% of the population are dropping dead from a deadly


Mar 17, 2021, 3:22 PM

You don't convert deaths per 100,000 into percentages. Nor do you convert the death from total population as that would assume that the entire population has caught the virus.

We one notes the "percentage" it is universally denoted by the mortality rate (ie deaths per case).

You don't count the folks who have not caught the virus within the "percentages" because that would be counting the number of current deaths from unknown future potential cases.

It is like counting the number of folks who jump off a cliff and their deaths while folks are still in the air or had not yet jumped.

I didn't bring up the initial percentages. My statement is correct when comparing it to what the poster stated. Point 5% (.005) of the population isn't dying. That's what his statement was.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: .5% of the population are dropping dead from a deadly


Mar 17, 2021, 4:37 PM

Yeah, but took it in the wrong direction seeking to correct the initial error. Or at least calculated using the wrong metrics. Fair enough.

But nearly 2% would die if they contracted the virus providing they had access to current levels of healthcare - but if the nation did catch it at once, the mortality rate could easily be 10% or higher with most deaths resulting from both the virus and a lack of access to care.

I also think you are mixing the term "population". You are taking it as the "US population" while in public health, the "population" would be those with cases of the virus (Ie sample and population). With the term "population" you can only address the number of people (or things)n that you would be making conclusions about - for example death of Covid. If you include non-cases, well, it does not really work.

Re: Future "Doc" will google it and note that only one person


Mar 18, 2021, 10:45 AM

Didn't I say there is always one case? ;) Anyway you example was a "strawman fallacy" as it does not apply to the mortality rate of Covid.

To avoid confusion, here is the strawman for ya: A straw man fallacy occurs when someone takes another person's argument or point, distorts it or exaggerates it in some kind of extreme way, and then attacks the extreme distortion, as if that is really the claim the first person is making.

1.8 percent of the "population" have died from the virus because you don't count non-infected (yet) cases. You count deaths per number of cases. You don't take deaths per jurisdictional population. You can ok at infection rates. Thus saying X% of the population is dropping dead, you are using the "wrong population" and any attempt to various common vernacular is going to be misleading. There is a reason why the mortality rate is specific - to avoid equivocation

Which by-he way- is another logical fallacy you are making here: So you don't have to google -

The fallacy of equivocation occurs when a key term or phrase in an argument is used in an ambiguous way, with one meaning in one portion of the argument and then another meaning in another portion of the argument. When you say "population" in any context with a mortality rate, you are talking about the number of cases. You CANT start using other variations of the term "population".

Infection rates and mortality rates have nothing to do as whether or not I like them, but I am going to call out BAD information. As for Drummer's comment, IF the term was used intentionally and specifically, they got it wrong. Either ignorance or laziness.

The mortality rate is 1.8%. 1.8% of the population would/will die from the virus. Actually more than 1.8% of the virus would die if the number of infections reach a point that overwhelms access to health care, likely as high as 5-10%.

Yes data is very telling. Per the CDC since Sept 20, 2020 there have been 1,561 cases of Influenza (both A and B combined). This compares to the CDC reported average of 45 million Influenza cases in a season.

Mar 17, 2021, 7:15 PM [ in reply to The COVID deniers will quote any ridiculous statistic ]

Google and math are your friends. There are currently 121 million current cases, of which about 100 million are closed with 2 million deaths. That is around 3% death rate. There are close to 20 million cases active of which 88k are considered to be critical or 0.4%. So add in about another 20 million into the 100 closed and assume out of that 20 million 88k absolute worst case will die. (More realistically it’s 3% of that but the number is so low who cares).

You can do that math which pretty much sums up this worldwide shutdown for a simple virus is out of control for what is a blandemic. The media hyped it up for political warfare and it worked.

Unfortunately most people aren’t able to comprehend billions as most of us don’t understand world populations. Reality is most people see millions die and think it’s a high number bc we are tuned to think a million of something is a lot. Reality is it’s a drop in the bucket and nothing more than world deaths from auto accidents or any other virus lead to. Want a real pandemic... go research deaths and population reduction of Spanish flu. You will than realize this is nothing more than a disease where certain people die which is called life my man. No need to shut the world down over it. This coming from someone who got it.

Although final point I’m not complaining they did, I was smart enough to profit significantly off the idiots shutting down world economies but they should have never done it.

Re: The COVID deniers will quote any ridiculous statistic

Actually we have matched the deaths in the Spanish Flu pandemic. So do we have a real pandemic yet?

The Spanish Flu lasted just over 2 years and killed about 670,000 US citizens. We are roughly just over 1 year into this pandemic and over 500,000 have died. While our technology and resources will slow down the spread soon, the rate of death over time has been similar, if not greater than Spanish Flu.

Per the CDC 500 million people affected and estimated 50 million deaths worldwide. Not nearly as bad... we can go back further and look at Black Plague. No matter what way you spin it yes this is a blandemic.

I know more people suffering from depression than I know people who went to the hospital for covid. So yes, again if you can comprehend billions and realize people die you can understand the amount of people who died from this isn’t out of the ordinary from any other disease. It’s unfortunate but people die. Don’t shut down the economy and ruin people’s lives. Let the people who want to stay indoors do so and those who want to keep their lives keep them.

Um, you can't compare raw deaths. Spanish Influenza resulted in 1-3% of the entire population dying. That's the equivalent of 70-210 million deaths today. This pandemic has affected plenty of people, but in the grand scheme, it wasn't worth the global shutdown which resulted in untold more deaths, including suicides, and struggles like exacerbating worldwide poverty, childhood hunger, and child/spousal abuse.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: The COVID deniers will quote any ridiculous statistic


Mar 18, 2021, 10:57 AM

On the face of the "bailouts", I completely agree.

The government should not be handing out "checks" especially for for-profit entities and it is just bad practice in general to the average person. I don't think it has done a lot of good as it just cause consumer shortages for specific goods and inflated prices. What ever happened to having a saving account for emergencies? Folks confined for basically 2 months and lost their grip. Everything since July has been basically business as normal save for mass gatherings.

As for other "government overreach" there really has not been a lot there. Overall handled lightly. There has been no Federal overreach for the most part (interstate commerce is a federal item and that is where it has been heaviest). State were allowed to regulated it as they saw fit - and actually that was constitutionally appropriate as State's rights within the Police Power are specifically targeted for both Public Health and General Welfare. You can't get more constitutional "correctness" that that.

How many people would've died from the Spanish Flu had they taken similar precautions as we've done with COVID with quarantines, social distancing, masks, washing hands, etc...?

How many more people would've died from COVID had the entire world just gone about life as normal without taking any precautions at all?

It's impossible to know the answer to either of those questions, but I do think it's silly to say the precautions taken to fight COVID weren't worth it based on the amount of deaths that have occurred while taking those precautions. If over 550,000 Americans have died thus far with all the precautions then would we be looking at over a million, or perhaps a few million or more? Again, it's impossible to know, but I don't get the logic of saying 550,000 isn't a high enough number to justify the actions taken while acting as if that would've been the same number had nothing at all been done.

9/11 "only" lost us about 3,000 lives American lives but that completely reshaped the world. And darn straight, it should.

And finally, I think that the biggest point folks miss with Covid was not the "mortality rate" with modern health care, but rather that the uncontrolled infection rate would reduce the American health care system to the 1800s, 10% of infected would die, and the economic shutdown resulting from that loss as well as mass panic would be far worse than limiting football attendance and mask requirements.
