    So someone is telling you the death rate of Covid is low?

    At this rate, by the end of the year about 1% of Americans will have died from Covid-19. And we still have the first half of 2021 to deal with.

    Not 1% of people who caught the virus.

    No, it's 1% of ALL Americans.

    New cases and new deaths are both on the rise. Vaccines will take months to immunize everyone.

    Wear a damn mask. Be outside. Stay home. Take care of your family.

    • pretty sure those ppl think the rate is low as in 1% of ppl who got it died, not percent of total populationgrafician
    • do you think regular Americans really know how many actual people there are in the US? At least 70 mil don't...grafician
    • Y'all are wild!

    • So the Rona kills 1% of the total population regardless if they are infected or not? Between this and the microchips in the vaccine we are definitely fucked.palimpsest

    • nb is saying that by the end of the year it might add to 1% of the total pop. Maybe less, maybe more. But the death rate is not calculated from the whole pop.palimpsest
    • I think your maths is off. US pop. is 331milion. Approx 300,000 have died so far which would be 0.1% of the pop. 3million dead would be 1%BaskerviIle
    • Who could dv this? Fucking hell.maquito
    • @maquito
      I'm tired of counting lives as an argument. And just look at where this reasoning led grafician.
      Do the right thing.

    • I'm never one to downplay the seriousness of Covid. And the US more than anyone desperately need to get things under control.BaskerviIle
    • ... But nb's maths is off by a factor of 10. It's not helpful to spread misinformation, even if the intention is goodBaskerviIle
    • Right on, Baskerville. Then we all become Covidiots.palimpsest
    • Whoops my bad. Please delete. Oops we can’t.nb
    • Flagged my own post as spamnb
    • Oh, man... c'mon palimpsest, ffs.maquito
    • The message that I perceive from your comments is a distortion of the true message that I think we should perceive. Regardless of the exact calculations..maquito
    • What did I do now?palimpsest
    • ..this shit KILLS. And it should be taken seriously and without cynicism.maquito
    • I'm just saying what I think about certain things. You did nothing. I understand your point, but regardless the precise math, this is not to troll about.maquito
    • I do not approve of this message, it it false. As false as the claims of those who aren't taking it seriously. Why use their tactics, why give them ammunition?palimpsest
    • And you have seen the consequences of those that do not question the message and distort it further (grafician). I will not stand for this.palimpsest
    • I don't have an answer for that. If I take it logically, I must admit you have a point. Nevertheless, Wear a damn mask. Be outside. Stay home.maquito
    • If you want me to be the bad guy here I'll take the heat.
      Take this seriously, use a serious discourse.

    • No guys don’t worry 300,000 people is nothing. Their lives don’t matter. Basically zero deathsnb
    • Is there an acceptable number of deaths? And what is that number?palimpsest
    • I'm sorry if I reacted too strongly, but unfortunately in the country where I live, there have been many new infections in recent weeks..maquito
    • ..and unfortunately the government has not made clear decisions, and in my opinion useful enough to attend to what is happening.maquito
    • The CTI units are about to overflow, and despite everything that gets out of control, I keep finding people who deny what is happening..maquito
    • I'm sorry for all this discharge, but it is the reason why I am somewhat sensitive about it, without highlighting the sources or the exact math.maquito
    • No nos pongamos a contar habas.
      Simplemente hagamos lo correcto.

    • 0.1% of all Americans! 1 in 1000 deadnb
    • Ok, palimsest. Estoy más de acuerdo con tus dichos de lo que parece. Gracias por debatir sanamente.maquito
    • Under that criteria does gun violence become acceptable?palimpsest
    • Well, that’s a whole different issue. https://www.qbn.com/…maquito
    • Yes, I don't think we should take the bait and fall into this counting lives argument.
      That's all for me folks
      palimpsest
    • Ethically speaking, gun “violence” should never be acceptable. Other thread (?)maquito
    • It is rare to argue with someone in a functional way lately at QBN. I accept your way of debating. Thanks.maquito
    • I'm back. I know I default to ridicule/satire and that annoys some. It's my way of venting. But it's more pleasant when we take time to listen to each other.palimpsest
    • We found out that we agree that the moral thing to do is to prevent deaths when it's in our power do so. Regardless of the numbers. Stay safe everybody.palimpsest
    • palimpsest stfu! are you stupid? what message I distorted?!grafician
    • oh and also WHO THE FUCK ARE YU? :))grafician
    • Your banter is hellish, mate. You try way too hard.face_melter
    • also nb was right, AT THIS RATE the number of dead will be much higher, could approach 1% OF POPULATION but not till the end of the year nb!grafician
    • here in Ro we approach 20x dead per day! past 500k infected and about 5-6k per day new so yeah, the numbers are higher and will continue to be - not just the USgrafician
    • "pretty sure those ppl think the rate is low as in 1% of ppl who got it died, not percent of total population"
      - grafician
      OK chief.
      palimpsest
    • I care for all of you as if you were my children. Please lecture me about how you are right and I am wrong, grafician.
      Let's put this tantrum behind us.
