    Really? That is messed up. People under the age of 30 have a cold for a day or two or get nothing.  Every death in Italy is from people over 80. The common flu has killed 37 times the number of people than this virus.  Knowing many people in China they have been getting paid for months and are now bored out of their minds. 1,400,000,000 people 3,400 deaths.  95% over the age of 70. Really sad what the media does to people's thinking.  Italy ever death is over the age of 80. Basically the same as the flu.

    NCAA will absolutely be played & with fans.  This is a Billion $ industry & money talks.  Until hundreds or thousands in the US start dying daily (which won’t happen), all big time, big money sporting events will continue.

    apparently in iran there is a different strain of the coronavirus virus and the casualties are younger .. at this point there is way to many unknowns about this virus to just disregard it as the common flu

    Iran has been crippled by US sanctions for years and have had their hospital system destroyed for years due to lack of basic medicine and proper equipment.  I have Iranian friends in China,  nice people that suffer. Iranians with money go to other Gulf states or Europe or East or Southeast Asia for care. Also the mass prayers and a very old population that has never been to a doctor. Plenty of people go blind there from diabetes.

Really sad what the media does to people's thinking.  Italy ever death is over the age of 80. Basically the same as the flu.
    apparently in iran there is a different strain of the coronavirus virus and the casualties are younger .. at this point there is way to many unknowns about this virus to just disregard it as the common flu
    Iran has been crippled by US sanctions for years and have had their hospital system destroyed for years due to lack of basic medicine and proper equipment.  I have Iranian friends in China,  nice people that suffer. Iranians with money go to other Gulf states or Europe or East or Southeast Asia for care. Also the mass prayers and a very old population that has never been to a doctor. Plenty of people go blind there from diabetes.

    no one under 80 years of age has died!!! Jesus I forgot how easily Americans get scared by the bullshit 24/7 news cycle. If you are over 70 and already have health problems you are at risk, stay home! But it is EXACTLY the same with the common flu that has claimed 67000 lives so far this year. Fuck

    This has to be the most ignorant comment I have read on the forums...and that's saying a lot given what happens in SB's threads.

    Yes, Covid19 affects the elderly and people with comorbidities much more, and the mortality rate is much higher in this population.  However, other age groups have also had deaths.  See below:

    80+ years old 14.8%
    70-79 years old  8.0%
     
    60-69 years old 3.6%
     
    50-59 years old 1.3%
     
    40-49 years old 0.4%
     
    30-39 years old 0.2%
     
    20-29 years old 0.2%
     
    10-19 years old 0.2%
    0-9 years old no fatalities
     
     

    That means for the young healthy adults aged 20-39, 2 out of 1000 infections result in death.  That's pretty worrisome...you probably won't want to be that 2 in 1000, I imagine?

    Seasonal flu overall kills 0.2%, including a much higher rate in the same elderly population.  Not exactly the same lethality, even though the absolute numbers are much larger than Covid19 for now.

    I'm a huge sports fan too, and hate to see sports events cancelled.  However, in this environment, everyone needs to do what's best for the greater good of society.  Enough of this North American self entitlement!

    First off, stop being a box. In the USA ALONE  THIS FUCKING WINTER THE COMMON FLU has KILLED over 15,000 BUT most likely over 18,000. Over 300,000 have had hospital stays. If you travel around the world and get to know people from other countries the four questions they will ALWAYS ask you if they know you are not a brainwashed American idiot.  #1 Why are there so many gun deaths and Mass shootings in the USA 38,250 in 2019 based on a rule made for militias in the 1700s in case the British tried to regain control.  #2 Why do you say your country is the best on earth and you have more freedom? Have you ever been to Europe, Asia, Oceania or anywhere else. They seem to have more freedom and higher standards of living. #3 Why are Americans so fat and the food so unhealthy? It is the first thing a person notices after being abroad for so long. People are huge it feels creepy the first week or two. #4 Why can't Americans speak more than one language? Our school system isn't that great at teaching another language many struggle with English. So don't worry you have a better chance of getting randomly shot or shooting yourself,  dying of heart disease or diabetes,  the common flu laughs at Covid 19 and thinks it is a box. Enjoy your day.

    Right......if you can't figure out the difference between 0.2% (flu) and 3.52% (Covid19) in terms of lethality, then really there is little point in discussing anything with a numbnut like you.  Absolute numbers versus kill rate.  Try doing simple arithmatic, or maybe your education system failed you in that basic skill?

    Also, FYI, I'm not American, am originally from one of those "overseas" countries you are espousing, and have travelled to over 50 countries.

    We may be on the same page with regards to perception of some parts of America, but clearly you are too angry to contemplate anything in a reasonable manner.  I live in the "utopian" shelter of Canada, and fortunately have a much lower chance of getting shot randomly than you, apparently.

    Enjoy your little entitled, narrow minded existence; forever in denial until  new_poop hits the fan...Oh right, you're just copying your great leader Ttump!
