[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4631099, member: 66082"] How do you know? What stats are you using, because for man of trump's age, death rates from coronavirus are over 10%. But what kills me are these weirdos pretending that not wanting to get sick from a new virus is a strange response from people. In America, there are 7,361,455 who have or had the coronavirus and 210,874 Americans have died from coronavirus, that's a death rate of 2.86%. Take car accidents, there are over 6 million car accidents in America every year and 35,000-38,000 car deaths that's a death rate of .6% per every car accident, that's far less deadly than Coronavirus, yet people avoid trying to get into car accidents, they wear seat belts, they try to follow the traffic lights, drive slower in bad weather, etc despite statistically there being a relatively low risk of death from a car accident. We still try to avoid it. Take accidents with ladders, There are 500,000 ladder accidents with 97% occurring at home and about 300 deaths a year. That's a death rate of .06% and yet everyone I know who uses a ladder tries to put it on level ground, they may have a spotter while they climb the ladder, in other words they are doing stuff to avoid getting hurt or falling even though statistically the risk of death is low. The two precautions we can take as Americans in dealing with coronavirus and still get out and about is to wear masks and to stay 6 ft apart, and these weirdos are either pretending or have created an identity as if not wanting to get sick from a new virus is some strange reaction in human beings, but in fact it is completely consistent with human nature to avoid getting hurt or sick. I could list many examples of where we try not to get physically hurt even from stuff that won't kill us. [/QUOTE]
