Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Typical redneck sheriff saying redneck sheriff things, thinking he's a modern-day Buford Pusser who can beat the virus with a baseball bat.

I remember getting a press credential from their department way back in 1978 when I worked weekends in Ocala. Glad to see 40 years hasn't changed things there.

 

It'll be fine. Think positively!

 

We're less than two weeks into "official" preseason fall sports practice in Ohio. I know of three high schools within 25 miles of me with football players that have tested positive. One school shut down program completely, other two are continuing missing a few kids who are quaranting.

DeWine is expected to give football thumbs up any day, and schools will be restarting later this month across much of the state.

We'll see how it goes.

 

Just ran some numbers, combat death rate in WWII for US servicemen was .086%. Non-fatal wounds .177%. WWII was safer than COVID ?

Numbers from the National WWII museum in New Orleans.

 

Your error (I believe) is treating ONLY known cases in your percentages. These people have already been hit with the bullet.

We ALL are "in the COVID battlefield," not just the people with confirmed cases. Some of us get hit with the bullet; most don't. But we're all "in combat" so to speak.

Right now our COVID death rate is 0.0005% for all 330 million of us "in the battlefield."

 

That's some really fine pencil work to make this disease which has killed 160,000 Americans in a few months seem like no big deal. I guess we need to do the same math various other diseases too.

 

The only problem is . . . that's not what I was doing.

Responding to yab's post, I'm saying that I am in less danger now than a US soldier facing combat in WWII.

If you want to disagree with that . . . then you're the one making what those soldiers faced seem like "no big deal."

 

Lou Holtz disagrees.

Storming the beaches at Normandy was a lot like playing Auburn.

So suck it up.

 

Speaking of which . . .

 

BTE is in the shit

the death rate if you were an American during WWII was .00308%. 407,000 deaths out of a population of 132M. . Testing positive is being in the service.
