i was kidding about the dying part but the Bay Area has massive exposure to Asia. Your theory gets sillier and sillier by the day as governments across the world continue to take measures to slow this and the stock market crashes.
as i said before, i am not paying attention to what CNN says i am watching how major corporations and governments react to this that are not media centered. you know, large organizations that have nothing to gain from starting a panic and a substantial amount to lose.
ill buy your theory that media outlets benefit from panic but the rest of us dont
I just wish the same attention was given to hunger which kills 20k daily rather than 250 deaths that corona spread.
But yeah, if anything, this grew more serious and bigger than what I expected. Still, as some like numbers here's what I saw today:
- China town where it all began populates 11 million people. Infected are 77k which is like 0.7% after 3 months (as first signs were shown in december 2019).
- China population is 1.3b which means 99.9945% don't have corona over there.
- Those that have cured are already over 10k so the infected aren't 77k but less
Deathrate by the age:
80+ years: 14.8%
70-79: 8%
60-69: 3.6
50-59: 1.3
40-49: 0.4
30-39: 0.2
20-29: 0.2
10-19: 0.2
Which means if you're 80+ and to die it's 0.7% x 14.8% = 0.103%. If you're 45yo it's 0.0028%. If you're under 40 it's 0.0014.
So overall it means if you're over 80 you have 99.897% chance you won't be affected & die while if you're under 40 it's 99.9986%.
