Lol where do you get these numbers. Do you really suck at math that badly? 1 in 2,000 people have died of the virus. That doesn't mean 1 in 2,000 people who get the virus die. That's like saying cancer has over a 99% survival rate therefore smoking is low risk. Death rate is somewhere around 3%, though of course it will vary based on your age and other factors. And chance of permanent neurological damage is much much higher, even if you don't die.
You're actually both incorrect.
The coronavirus does NOT have a 0.2% death rate, nor does it have a 3% death rate. However, the 0.2% is a lot closer than the 3% (but it's impossible to determine exactly what it is.)
You can't get death rates by simply dividing confirmed cases by deaths, because there are/were a ton of cases which were never officially diagnosed. How many is up for debate, but suffice to say that the number of undiagnosed COVID-19 cases is very high.
Among the reasons:
1) People had trouble getting tested early on
2) Many don't bother to take a test because they feel to shitty too bother, yet not shitty enough to go to the hospital. Others don't feel like putting out the effort looking up how/where to get tested, and even others erroneously fear that it will cost them money.
3) Many are asymptomatic, especially young people. In the past month, I know several people who tested positive while asymtopmatic, and they only took a test because their spouse had it. None of these people developed symptoms, and all were over 40. The number of asymptomatic young is likely very high, especially kids and teens.
A rare big miss for young PLOL.
FFS, Druff. The only reason (besides she being a black) that Biden picked Kamala Harris was because she is a darling of the big money Dem donors, and THOSE people are in control of Biden’s agenda. The Dem Party is already signaling that it is calving off influence from the Progressive wing of the party by keeping THE key media outlet that Progressives turn to for updates on politics from being able to have a press pass at the Dem National Convention.
So, your scaremongering of how a Biden Administration will be lead by or significantly bend to the demands of Progressives in the party are ludicrous and malinformed.
