The question is why are you so scared of the cold in the first place? 99.6% survival rate. How is that scary? Genuinely curious, explain why that’s scary to people.
Bunch of downvotws but no one to explain why the cold is so scary? Hmm
If I answer, will you actually listen? I’ll believe you if you start by answering my question of what the survival/mortality rate of the common cold is.
Either way you’re not gonna change my mind and I’m not gonna change yours, but I’ve always been curious why people are so scared of that bullshit when you face hundreds of other ways to die every single day with out batting and eye. You have a higher chance of being hit by lightning than dying from Rona. So what’s so scary about a cold?
Where the fuck do you live that more than 1/200 people get struck by lightning?
Fuck it. You say 99.6% survival rate, as if you can effectively round it up to 100% and say it’s totally harmless. What it really means is that about 1 in 200 will die. Here in the Denver metro area, where I live, that’s almost 120,000 dead. No doubt they spend time in the hospital first. We don’t have the hospital infrastructure to support that kind of influx, and that’s not even counting those who need medical care but survive.
My daughter was born just over a year ago. She was 3 months early, and I WISH she were 2 pounds because that would’ve been more reassuring considering her actual birth weight would be rounded down to a single pound. She only got fully released from needing oxygen about a week ago. I can only imagine how things would’ve been if all the wonderful doctors and nurses we were fortunate enough to have were assigned to COVID units because the world ran the way you wished it did. Hell, I’m thankful we didn’t have to deal with it the way things actually were in 2020. Because what gives us a cold could send her straight back to the hospital and hopefully she gets out.
