Thats one big pair of nuts!

This is a private poll. Please make the 3 choices that apply to you. If you have an underlying condition that makes it advisable to not get the vaccine, I respectively ask you to refrain from this poll. Thank you for your participation.

Hopefully this covid thing will make more people get the flu shot from now on and save lives every year. I know 2 people who haven't been getting flu shots, but are afraid of this virus and would jump on the chance to get a covid vaccine. Dang it Bazza, now you have sent me down another rabbit...

What it does is prove Trump's early travel restrictions (of which he was heavily criticized) saved lives

The easiest way to think of this is on a new car. The Ro is your stated mpg. The Rt is your actual mpg for a trip you take. When you start, your current mpg will be all over the place. Varying wildly up and down depending on the terrain, other vehicles and how you personally our driving...

Oh no, another voter for the democrats

Ro represents the average number of new infections per infected person. It is more of a static number while Rt is the number of new infections actually occurring over a given time period. Re shading, probably based on a gaussian distribution or something similar. I don't FB, but if he was...

Have read that the particular cells that covid attacks, besides primarily being lung/airway related, are also prevalent in the heart, GI tract, and in the eyes witch seems to correlate with the vastly different experiences of people who get it. Not implying that this is THE reason, only a...

Meanwhile, 25K lose their life every single day to hunger. You guys are seriously giving chicken little a run for his money, but you should be able to have more fun over the next few weeks scaring each other and driving panic as the numbers increase. Odds STILL are for more deaths due to...

Of course we are. I just don't see how in the world posting odds of dying that were calculated by a life insurance company after taking into account covid is somehow bad? I thought these odds might help some people (not you) on here who are truly panicking to calm down just a bit and realize...

These odds should be viewed like the ones ESPN displays for each teams odds of winning a game. It is a snapshot in time that will change and "should" become more accurate over time. In keeping with the football analogy, I would "guess" that the odds are, we are still in the first quarter. I...

We can disagree and thats fine, I just truly don't get how posting actual odds is seen as "downplaying". I always want to know my odds.

I am not ignoring anything. These were simply odds of survival by people who do this for a living.

?? How is giving actual odds downplaying it? I figured I wouldn't be the only one who would like to know that even with everything thats going on, the odds of dying from this are tiny.
