Good morning Julian. I trust you are doing well.
You are absolutely right - that is a long article, and the current estimates of mortality are around 2%. Or 3%, but 2% is a reasonable talking point. Compared to a rate of around 0.2% for the flu. So, 10 times the risk of dying compared to the flu. Or, 1 in 50. Of the general population. But, well, Hmmmm. I am sure most of you have heard that those over 60 (raise your hands) have a higher risk. Let’s look at some stats from the Chinese situation:
COVID-19 Fatality Rate by COMORBIDITY:
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on pre-existing condition. The percentage shown below does NOT represent in any way the share of deaths by pre-existing condition. Rather, it represents, for a patient with a given pre-existing condition, the risk of dying if infected by COVID-19.
PRE-EXISTING CONDITION
DEATH RATE
confirmed cases
DEATH RATE
all cases
Cardiovascular disease
13.2%
10.5%
Diabetes
9.2%
7.3%
Chronic respiratory disease
8.0%
6.3%
Hypertension
8.4%
6.0%
Cancer
7.6%
5.6%
no pre-existing conditions
0.9%
*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). The percentages do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by condition.
Right. So, somewhere around 10% for those with cardiovascular issues (raise your hands), and 8% with Diabetes (right – more hands?), and hypertension at around 7%... OK, put your hands down. But, gads, if you have one of them “Comorbidities” thangs – well, a 1 in 10 chance of dying? Got two of them thangs, likely they are additive. Did I get that right? Nah, can’t be. That’s too high… NO WAY!!!!
And, lastly, the government is just plain damned, either way.
I have written a couple of short articles on the things we are doing to boost our immune system and to minimize our risks of getting Covid-19. If any of you are interested, send me an e-mail – I’ll send them to you.
I think I’ll go for a ride in our Daytona Coupe and forget about all this (Pantera is getting a new interior even as I type so can’t take it out today).
Twisty roads, here I come!

So are more than 250 people registered to attend the Fun Rally?
There's a lot of people playing down COVID-19 and yes the mortality rates are fairly low at ~2%, but if you don't contain it a lot of people get infected and you have a higher number of deaths.
This is the only article I've seen to date that actually attempts to put some data and statistics to the issue, it's long but worth the read; <https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca> https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca
The problem is government is damned if it does nothing and it really turns into a US pandemic and damned if it halts everything and actually stems the problem as the opposition will say it was all over nothing!

Mike,
I asked Josette the question yesterday. This is what she said:
“If we cancelled because nobody was coming or any other reason we would have to pay them the hotel rooms and our food and beverage minimum.
If they cancel we should be off the hook.”
Not addressed is the third possibility—that the government issues restrictions that prohibit large gatherings. California just today prohibited any gathering of 250 or more people indefinitely.
We are still planning on going.
FWIW I spoke today with a POCA member who is an ER doc and his summary of the Covid19 crisis was, “It’s all BS”. People are dropping like flies from the ordinary flu, just as they do every year, and nobody bats an eye. According to the CDC, something like 50,000 Americans have died from the regular flu just since September! Where is the panic about that?
A couple of dozen Americans die from this cousin of the flu and the media causes the world to go crazy. Grrr.....
