I just looked at the news from CNN and they reported recently as of today 228,675 deaths due to the Corona 19 virus from a total of 8,947,872 reported cases. THAT ONLY .025% not nearly as bad as its being reported by the news media. Do you realize how silly that sounds? You just quoted information you got from "the news media" which you claim is misrepresenting the data. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

My point was that CNN didn't report the percentage because it didn't help their view. If I were told when I was in combat my chances in staying alive would be 98.5% I would have had less to worry about.😱 2 hours ago, tritentrue said: Nice shots, Henry.

Henry Taylor Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share #26 Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) There is more here than what is being told. I'm tired of hearing of all the gloom and fear that the media is portraying. Could it be they are using the Corona 19 Virus to cover up the non accomplushiments of the opposing party running for office? 😉 Yes I agree, this is getting off the main purpose of this thread. This will be my last comment on this matte I will. maker, lets all just set back and enjoy our pictures😀 Hank Edited October 31, 2020 by Henry Taylor add on last comment 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like we, in the Uk, will be back into a national 'lockdown' along with most of Europe next week. I have just heard from a friend in the US that a friend's son, Miami University freshman, cought Covid and passed it to his grandparents, one of whom died at just 75. The kid is mortified and will obviously need to try and rationalise what happened. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT ONLY .025% not nearly as bad as its being reported by the news media. Unfortunately, it's 100 times worse than that If we ignore the fact that 228,675 deaths (in the US alone) is nearly a quarter of a million, which is an horrendous number by any stretch of the imagination, the calculation is 228,675 divided by 8,947,872 TIMES 100 to express as a percentage = 2.56% So, on average, of 100 people in your town, who have contracted the virus, nearly three of them are dead because of it. In the UK, the figures are 46,229 divided by 989,749 x 100 = 4.67% The odds don't sound so good now, do they? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
