Wise words about COVID

99% survival rate 69 and under (99.9 in children)

96.4 survival rate 69 and older. 

If you fill a nursing home or a respiratory rehabilitation facility for the elderly with Covid-19 patients most likely people will die.

I am sure that is comforting to the 250,000+ families of people who have died. And, your reply is not on topic. Is it better to be six feet apart or six feet under?

Is it better to give up freedom, or to die for freedom?

Your reply is totally off the topic. 

Would you rather be 6 feet apart or 6 feet under?

I don't see his reply as off topic. Anyways, I guess with the situation that you are mentioning that no-one should leave the house ever since here is so much more danger out of the house than in it

Then again lots of people die in their own house... what am I to do make sure I don't die?

It was a simply question from the advice. Is it better to be 6 feet apart or 6 feet under. Seems a simply question to me.

Frankly, I would rather be 6, 12, 18 feet apart than 6 feet under.

Aw...but if it were my appointed time, to have my body 6 feet under is nothing compared to being present with my Saviour!  In the meantime, I shall do all I can to redeem the time desiring to glorify Him and to share the glory and grace of His gift of salvation with others.

Does that include distancing yourself from other so that you not only protect yourself, but also protect them? Just curious.

I don't see how 6' or 18' makes a difference. Does covid measure distance to find those to infect? I thought it was an airborne virus which means you can't walk in the same are area someone else did that was infected.

Dear man, when the Lord Jesus Christ gives opportunity to share Him, there's nothing that can "compare" to the work of the blessed Spirit!  There are many, many ways to shine Him on aside from face to face!

It's Just a Mask.

Must watch video for all who can think for themselves, rather than mindlessly obey the dark powers of this world.

Covid Statistics

 

Copyright © 2020 The Johns Hopkins University, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, and Johns Hopkins Health System.

Infections:

COVID-19: Approximately 1,997,321 cases worldwide; 609,685 cases in the U.S. as of Apr. 15, 2020.*
Flu: Estimated 1 billion cases worldwide; 9.3 million to 45 million cases in the U.S. per year.

Deaths:

COVID-19: Approximately 127,601 deaths reported worldwide; 26,059 deaths in the U.S., as of Apr. 15, 2020.*
Flu: 291,000 to 646,000 deaths worldwide; 12,000 to 61,000 deaths in the U.S. per year.

Here are some other worldwide numbers to consider, as of 4/15/2020:

• 3,750,391 people have died from other communicable diseases, in the first 4 months of 2020. The communicable disease number is nearly 136X the COVID-19 death toll for the US during the same period.
• 140,517 deaths from seasonal flu;
• 1,444,218 deaths from smoking;
• 389,985 deaths from traffic accidents;
• 2,372,725 deaths caused by cancer;
• 309,803 deaths by suicide;  
• 722,573 deaths from alcohol abuse.

None of the tragic numbers in the above statistics warranted the economic shutdown of our entire economy. Yet, these statistics are many times more than the COVID-19 death toll.

I'm for a posted 10 mph speed limit on the interstate. Much safer and insurance costs lowered. And remember the children and the elderly!  You are not for killing children and old people are you?

Wearing helmets should be required also.
