    According to the CDC you have a .1% chance of dying from the flu. The latest numbers seem to be saying that Corona virus has a 3% death rate. You can get a flu shot and there is some flu "heard" immunity. None of that exists for Corona virus. I don't think this is just the flu when for every 1000 cases there is 1 death vs 30 for Corona.

    If there are between 34 and 49 million cases of Corona there will be between 1 and 1.4 million deaths vs 20K to 50K flu deaths. If Corona virus spreads as easily as the flu, and sick ass fucktards are still going to basketball games, things are going to be interesting.

    Didn't more people die from vaping
    They over estimated that 3%. It's actually closer to 1%.

    If the Corona virus spreads as easily as the flu the number of people who have it, or have had it, is much, much higher. If that is the case (probably) the death rate is much, much lower. I suspect millions have actually had it, but the vast majority of them just thought they had a normal cold.

    Here's an interesting "live" update on the stats and locations of confirmed cases. You can calculate the death rate yourself :)

    Actually you can't. The number you would need to accurately calculate the death rate is the actual total number of cases. That site only list the number of "confirmed cases," which is likely a much smaller number. Unless we test every human on the planet, (never going to happen) we will never really know the actual number of cases, so we will never know the actual death rate.

    Me too man, me too!

    Well...you can only go off the stats and data on hand. Think of all the flu cases that go unreported. Same situation. Just saying.

    I just wanted to throw out that interesting link, not get into a stats convo. :D :cheers:

    Urine is sterile.

    Your dingle is not.

    Wash your hands before you pee to keep your dingle healthy and ready to mingle.

    Perhaps, but when you intentionally suck sht into your lungs you’re making the bed you’re gonna have to sleep in. No sympathy from me on that.

    (and before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I’m a former smoker and eventually quit lying to myself. I own my past, it was dumb and hopefully I won’t have to pay for it, but it’ll be my own dam fault if I do).
