    It's the same for any other business out there. If you don't work for two months, how do you pay your rent, mortgage or whatever else

    According to an article I read couple days ago....In the U.S. of people who have the virus.....
    Age 80 and up - 14% will die, 86% will live.
    Age 70 to 80 - 8% will die, 92% will live
    Age 60 to 70 - 3.5 will die, 96.5 % will live
    Younger people not even 1% will die, 99% will live
    Of course these are approx numbers.

    Do you agree that if they recovered or died from corona virus that they was exposed? I only counted people who have recovered or died. You clearly didn't read my post or think your comment through.

    Current, but inaccurate. That's what is leading to unreasonable fear

    Why don't you include the facts for the flu?
    Why don't you included the facts for H1N1?
    This ain't no ebola!
    People compromised in the first place. Some die with the flu.
    Yes, I do think you are playing with facts to make it sound much worse than it is. Italy has many old people who are not in good health. Wait till we find out the truth about North Korea... No word there.

    Did you read my response that the swab tests give false negatives? If they recover or die they were indeed exposed but NOBODY has any idea what the total exposure rate is. Without total exposure rate, any calculation is, by definition, wrong.

    All we need to do is is look at the ones we know for certain were exposed, IE: the people who died and survived .... once you have a large enough sample size you determine an approximate death rate.

    If you still don't understand I am not going to debate the obvious with morons . A foolish man does not know he is a fool, and if you tell him he is a fool he will get mad at you.
