Since we're asking about people's professions, any chance you're a rodeo clown?

I didn't realize James Earl Jones was in "Strangelove".You mean like Slim Pickens?
"Be fine." This assumes that death is the only negative outcome of a bout with the virus.Not to nitpick, but 99% according to the Worldometers site.

Again, death is NOT the only negative outcome from having Covid-19.Not to nitpick, but 99% according to the Worldometers site.

Well said."Be fine." This assumes that death is the only negative outcome of a bout with the virus.
I got tested in August on Griffiss and it was the same. It was a little eerie with military directing you around and everybody in the testing area with full body PPE haha

Around 9% for people over the age of 70. Jumps to 20% for people over 80. Obviously, comorbidities also play a role. Beyond that, many people over the age of 70 who don't die have major long-lasting complications from it. Not that this will happen to Coach B., but it isn't outrageous. Praying that he has a swift and symptom-free recovery.Not to nitpick, but 99% according to the Worldometers site.

The post you were responding to made the assertion that 98% of the people that catch the disease will be fine. That’s patently false.It probably doesn't, but I wasn't making that case, you are by asserting a separate and subsequent argument. I simply referenced an objective statistical finding that 99% of current outstanding cases fall into the "mild" category according to its website.
Obviously, there are cases out there where individuals are facing some negative (living) residual affects, etc., but that does not appear to be the ordinary/garden variety sequence, but rather a small overall percentage to my understanding. Possibly, I'm misinformed and you can further enlighten me by providing me with information/data from a reputable website, etc. that suggests otherwise, and/or that these current residual affects will be a definitive chronic long term condition and rendering permanent impairment, etc.
The residual effects of contracting this virus, even if one experiences only minor symptoms, can be significant and are not fully understood at this point.
Just trying to point out some facts.It probably doesn't, but I wasn't making that case, you are by asserting a separate and subsequent argument. I simply referenced an objective statistical finding that 99% of current outstanding cases fall into the "mild" category according to its website.

been waiting for the right moment for this, thanks OttoinGrottoSince we're asking about people's professions, any chance you're a rodeo clown?
I’m sure JB will be fine, the same as 70 year old Nick Saban was and 98% of everyone who catches it.

Just trying to point out some facts.
First, this disease is different from anything that modern medicine has faced. It is always stealthy, and sometimes fatal. We know more about it than we did at the beginning of 2020, but the unknowns are much greater. How long do the antibodies produced when the human body defends itself against the viral invader last? Which leads to: can one be infected more than once, as with seasonal flu? And, how long will vaccine protection endure? We really know nothing about any long-term effects. Anecdotally, we know that some people ("long haulers") have lingering debilitation. As Their Numbers Grow, COVID-19 “Long Haulers” Stump Experts
We don't know if there might be permanent organ damage.
And, when you say "small overall percentage", we need to ask "percentage of what"? At the rate we're going (150K new cases per day and climbing), "what" is going to be a very big number.
Actually, not to nitpick, but you suck at reading numbers. The dearth rate of confirmed cases is roughly 97 percent. Not 99.
Is it Mooky?No It isn't Buddy
Liberate JB!What is dearth rate? If you're referring to "death" rate, you should at least learn how to spell correctly if you are going to openly and intentionally mock someone else's alleged ability. Nonetheless, I hope that your post made you feel better about yourself and fulfilled some void.
For what it's worth, I was referencing the current "Active Cases" and how 99% of those fall into the mild category.
IFR is close to 5 percent for people in his age range. So sure, he may be fine. But some folks won’t be.
If I ga e you a gun with 20 chambers and one bullet in it, would you pull the trigger? And now give that gun to 40.3 million people and you have 2 million deaths on your hands. (Age 65 and over, and the IFR for those over 80 is closer to 15 percent)
Welcome to the early 21st century.Going off on tangent here but since when did # of followers (popularity) determine if someone is a loser? If he had 500,000 followers would it make his comment any more justified?
And nothing about those procedures resulted in any danger to others, did it? You and your son's choice was about something that would have an effect on him and him alone; that's not the case with covid.I get it, but on the flip side if you needed an elective heart procedure done that had an 85% survival rate you'd probably take it.
my kid had an ‘elective‘ procedure done that had a 2% mortality rate and none of the professionals batted an eyelash for recommending it be done.

IT'S. NOT. JUST. ABOUT. YOU.
