bdutton Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 And you are probably 10 times more likely to die from the common flu. (which I just had and my wife now has). Coronavirus has less than a 1% mortality rate (IF you get infected).

Expand Actually , I keep hearing people say that the death rate is 10x higher for the coronavirus, but have they actually looked closely at it? Flu death rate is .01%....10 x that = 0.1%, which is still VERY LOW!

RaoulDuke79 Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Maybe we can replace the ncaa tournament with disease deaths and run a bracket. Clearly Tuberculosis is a one seed, but I would love to see sleeping sickness knock them out in the round of 32.
