And while you're on an analytical bent, try the Italian numbers.
Much worse.

   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;

   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.....
