I’m still not following what you are saying. So it’s ok to write a negative review but not to recommend people don’t go? People write negative reviews of WDW all the time and some say they don’t think it’s worth going for any number of reasons personal to them. I don’t see the issue with that. Nobody has to follow that advice.
You're correct. She still uses a very low number comparison. "A lot, like millions". Vs 325 million. Still a very big difference.
What does that have to do with the fact that the math was wrong?
So she said a "a lot like millions" instead of 325 million. Big deal. Unless you're trying to show the percentage of people getting Covid is low. Which to me is downplaying it
Its not just about surviving Covid. What about the long term affects or we ignore those too.Sigh

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 is deadliest among older populations. CDC data also show that Americans, regardless of age group, are far more likely to die of something other than COVID-19. From @HeritageDataVizwww.heritage.org
please note that only 0.02 percentage of those under 25 died from having covid. So for their age bracket, they have 99.8 percent chance of surviving. I can break it down further if you would like.
the 1 in 1000 does not take into account by age group, risk factor and so on. My original statement stands true: for many age brackets, your odds of surviving if catching covid are drastically high, around 99 percent and I will provide the CDCs own statistics to back this up
I’m not. Again, I point to my original statement (in reference to the high survivability rate) “this does not mean we should not throw all caution to the wind”
www.wivb.com
It says 0.2% of covid deaths were in people under 25. That doesn’t have anything to do with your chance of surviving. In a simplified example if only 2 people ever died from covid and 1 was under 25 that would mean 50% of Covid deaths were from people under 25, it doesn’t mean that only 50% of people under 25 will survive Covid. Apples and bananas.Sigh

My original statement stands true: for many age brackets, your odds of surviving if catching covid are drastically high, around 99 percent and I will provide the CDCs own statistics to back this up. This is based on percentage of deaths vs cumulative cases in said age bracket (US only). If I were to actually do the percentages of deaths and cases versus population total in the us, my case would be strengthened (as there are millions more people in each bracket then actual case numbers in the bracket).
and what part of “this doesn’t mean we should throw all caution to the wind” didn’t read correctly? I think you’re fighting on the wrong hill here my friend
Correct. You would need to account for actual number of cases in that bracket, and the actual total of population in that bracket. But not matter how you slice it, my odds of dying from covid in my bracket are currently less then 1 percent should I contract it. As you move to the different brackets it gets worse (up in age) progressively.

Cool, now have the Heritage Foundation do excess deathsSigh

I never said that being older doesn’t lead to a higher risk factor, this is nothing new, we‘ve known it for a while. Just pointing out that the 0.2% number from your linked table doesn’t mean you have a 99.8% chance of surviving.Correct. You would need to account for actual number of cases in that bracket, and the actual total of population in that bracket. But not matter how you slice it, my odds of dying from covid in my bracket are currently less then 1 percent should I contract it. As you move to the different brackets it gets worse (up in age) progressively.

Mortality Risk of COVID-19
Our interactive data visualizations that show the case fatality rate in each country are updated daily.
as of today, overall the CfR is 2 percent (that includes the most vulnerable brackets of 65+)

I get it, you are low risk I am 66, wear a damn mask.And here’s a good one on risk rates:
What Is Your Risk Of Dying From Covid-19?
Covid-19 has increased the risk of death for the average American by about 10 percent, but this increase in risk is much higher for seniors than children.
I admit I am a little bit perturbed as no one seems to grasp my original point and think of me as covid denier when in fact I am not
Ok that does it.
What is your point?
Go read my original post and stop for the love of god attacking a position I never ever made. Or I will report. I’m sick of it.
