That is a bogus stat - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/21 17:32:42

wrong. That stat is of “diagnosed” cases. People who test - *M* KC - 4/21 17:34:29

Is it utilizing the Stanford estimate of there being - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/21 17:39:23

that factor is irrelevant. It is only including - *M* KC - 4/21 17:42:38

Here's how you should have structured your analogy: - ummmm MU - 4/21 17:51:08

nope. The hypothetical says there is a 1 in 500 chance - *M* KC - 4/21 17:57:09

But once I have the disease I have it. So what risk are you - ummmm MU - 4/21 18:01:08

Yes - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/21 17:45:22

RE: A few comments back - *M* KC - 4/21 18:56:57

remember the photos of packed airports in places like - 90Tiger STL - 4/21 18:35:35

The issue here is both ends got silly - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/21 18:51:56

and he assumes the rates are similar everywhere. - 90Tiger STL - 4/21 17:34:29

Hahahaha - TGR84 MU - 4/21 17:28:03

the chance is 20-50 times lower than .02%(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

Actually 10 times higher, as ummmm so kindly pointed - *M* KC - 4/21 17:26:08

no - MizzouAstro MU

Ive now edited my typo. Thank you. And if you fly often - *M* KC - 4/21 17:29:19

You didn't say fly often on that plane. You said get on it - ummmm MU - 4/21 17:31:52

i commend your foolhardiness. Id get out of line and - *M* KC - 4/21 17:33:03

lmao, what line is that? the line without people with yello - 90Tiger STL - 4/21 17:36:51

No, I think the other option is to wait in the terminal for - ummmm MU - 4/21 17:33:32

Typo on my part. The odds in that age group are 1 in 500 - *M* KC - 4/21 17:25:23

Those are not the odds for that group. We don't know - ummmm MU - 4/21 17:28:38

Those are the odds for that group of people diagnosed. - *M* KC - 4/21 17:30:42

The serology tests are showing that 50-85 times more COVID - ummmm MU - 4/21 17:32:59

Same error as 4tigs. My OP stat is of “diagnosed cases” - *M* KC - 4/21 17:37:31

Then it is a bad stat for assessing true risk of dying. (nm) - ummmm MU - 4/21 17:41:01
