      We have to start telling people that washing your hands is how the gubmint give you coronavirus. That would be a direct hit.

      However, you make a decent point. Red vs blue state response to public health emergencies is the closest we're going to get to filtering out the unintelligent, as long as the blue states put up walls.

I want the real numbers, and I don’t expect liberals to be the ones complaining about that. Math is math.
        Because he's not looking for the real number, he's looking for the number that will paint the GOP in the best light and concern trolling to get there.

        If you use formula X to determine the lethality of all other viruses like the flu, and you use formula X to determine the lethality of this virus, those numbers will provide a decent enough comparison to allow people to judge risk even if there's a systematic bias in formula X. Because to the average person, they don't care what the absolute value is, they care about how the number differs from an everyday infection like the cold or the flu.

        It's the exact same thing GOP supporters do with unemployment numbers.

            I gotcha. I admit that my own reading comprehension on the subject pretty much throws every news story into one of two bins in the back of my mind: “common cold”, or “world war z.” That’s the extent of my discernment.
            It’s the same with inflation rate. 10 years ago when groceries and gas went through the roof, our gubmint (and employers) suddenly decided that food and gas aren’t something poor people care about, so let’s drop those from our cost of living calculator. It’s aggravating (when your next raise depends on what the published inflation rate is)

                        You said they don't overlap much. That's simply inaccurate. But yes, not all rich people are smart and not all poor people are dumb. But the more money you have the better chance you have of being educated.

                          Education is not intelligence. Anyone who has attended a tier 1 school realizes this by the fifth day. Dubya has two Ivy degrees. Even Dump sort of has one.

                          Money definitely correlates with education. But intellect? No.

                          The mistake people make is that money varies inversely with intelligence. This is a false conclusion from the true observation that interest in money varies inversely with intelligence. In truth, there is no relationship at all.

                            No but being subjected to a good education at least increases your chances. Not everyone maximizes the opportunity though.

                              I was reading yesterday in The Slate the demographic breakdown of that number.

                              The fatality rate for those under 10 is zero (which I find amazing since we know the flu kills young children), 0.2% of healthy adults, and for those who are sick and elderly, 14.8%. That's a weighted average of 0.2% across the population.

                              It also said all these reports of asymptomatic cases may be good news -- it means a lot more people are getting it with little consequences.
