Have you been hitting your knees and praying that Saquon Barkley makes it through this? 

It preys on fear, Barkley doesn't have any of that in him!

I understand that, but what I'm saying is-

Typically, in a year's normal two flu seasons (one per hemisphere), there are between three and five million cases of severe illness and around 650,000 deaths worldwide, which by some definitions is a yearly influenza epidemic.

First, you show us that 80,000 people a year die from the flu. Now it's 650,000.

PoG and I...... who could've seen this unlikely pairing of minds coming together? 

Jeez, I fear texting drivers - not only for myself, but for my entire family and friends, far more than I do COVID. 

According to Princess Newscum, CA is possibly starting to reopen by weeks end, so maybe, just maybe, I can save the family owned business that my hard working, uneducated father launched all by himself 47 years ago...... but I don't know if it's possible. 

Some people lost a loved one, others will lose everything else.

I think one thing that may be getting discounted here is that the loss of our livelihoods is far more frightening for some of us than the virus itself. I too am a second generation owner of a family business, and there’s a shit ton of pride in that and an equal amount of concern right now. 

It’s not just a job or a paycheck. Prior to now it was a fine tuned vehicle through life for myself and my family built through a hellacious amount of time and effort from my father and l over 35 years. 

It’s deeply personal. It’s my contribution to the world so a lot of my perceived self worth is tied into it. Life is finite, but if we play our cards right we can create things that outlive us and benefit our future generations.

There are a lot of people’s life’s work at risk right now. It’s frightening and quite the burden for those of us tasked with carrying a torch through these tenuous times. 

And by and large we get it. Save lives, it’s the right thing to do, yadda yadda. But none of that changes what l would do to get back to the daily grind. Volunteer to get a Covid 19 injection up the ass? Sign me up.

The restraining order he has on you indicates the opposite. 

[PoeticG]

The 650,000 is common flu deaths per year world wide...

Maybe the best thing to come out of this is going to be lower common flu deaths each year because all those dirty people finally decide to wash their filthy hands...

Dude... so well said, and until you sign that bottom front right of checks, and not just the back, then you will never get it.

I think I can put it in terms you can understand

COVID is like Saquan Barkley. He has good yards per carry (infection rate) and has the ability to take any run the distance (death rate) especially the closer he is to the end zone (older the patient). This is especially true if the defense fails at their assignment or has a busted play (pre existing condition). Other teams watch film specifically on him (wear PPE) and coaches create gameplans to stop him (social distancing). They'll load the box (lock down order) if needed.

The flu is more like Trent Richardson. His yards per carry aren't as high and he probably isn't taking one to the house, let alone a long one. Defensive screw ups help him, but he's not as likely to capitalize. Opposing teams and coaches also don't really do any special prep work for him. They especially aren't going to worry about loading the box. This gives Trent a more advantageous situation to gain yards than Saquan, but he still doesn't do much with it.

Get it now?

[D Bone]

Let's do the math. The earth, on average, has about 156,000 deaths per day from all causes. Covid-19 deaths, year to date are 256,377. Today, there have been 126 days, year to date. This amounts to about 2,035 deaths per day, on average. That means that COVID-19 deaths amount to about 1.3% of all global deaths (2,035/156,000). Here is how this compares to WHO data from 2015. These are percentage of total deaths worldwide for each cause.

Heart disease = 15.5%

Stroke = 11.1%

Lower Respiratory Infections = 5.6%

COPD = 5.6%

Respiratory Cancers = 3.0%

Diabetes = 2.8%

Dementias = 2.7%

Diarrheal Diseases = 2.7%

Tuberculosis = 2.4%

Automobile accidents = 2.4%

You're twice as likely to die from a motor vehicle accident or from diarrhea than you are to die from COVID-19. I'm just trying to wrap my head around this pandemic.

lol..

You climbed all the way up here from the pit to post this drivel?

Also, it does not count towards your monthly football related quota.

Oh look ...a dimwit playin the drivel card because he's too stupid to understand what's being said.

Either Seibert is really that ignorant, or he was just throwing shit against the wall because he hates or is at odds with the current state of affairs.

Out of hate for something you never made exaggerations or hurled things you knew may not be true?

Lets examine one thing Seibert said:

"This so called 'disease'...contrast that with frustrated Browns fans saying " This so called "pro" football team.  Well we all know that COVID is really a disease and the Browns really are a pro football team.

Did that help clear things up?

You, or your wife or kids or parents could get sick and die......yet  the "loss of your livelihood" is more frightening?

I did the math with Spain weeks ago. Looking at the death count every year, there are 1,200 deaths per day. With coronavirus, we have had 700 deaths per day for some days, and 500 deaths per day for many weeks. And those are the confirmed deaths by COVID, the ones that go to the statistics. 

In my opinion, when something amounts  for weeks as much the 42% of the normal death toll of a country where social distancing has been mandatory for months, it's scary. Morgues have been overworking.

Thanks for the input Nero, always much appreciated by you. Those numbers are certainly attention grabbing, no doubt about it. I hope you and yours are all well.

That's where the "its just the flu" crowd loses me.

This is going to kill way more people than "just the regular flu" and that's AFTER the U.S. shut down a huge portion of the country. What would the Covid death totals look like if every thing was still business as usual?

That's the thing many protestors and others forget

"There are barely any deaths from Covid! We need to end social distancing!"

The deaths are only "low" BECAUSE we're social distancing
