imma gonna lay it out again in simple math terminology.....it's muh numerator divided by muh denominator....that's the lower number shoved up the arse of the upper number with that slash thingy in between....

552/43721 = 0126 that's 1.26% for muh dense....

jmfc........unfk'nbelievable....

My comment was about the "reproduction number" - that is a completely separate metric vs. the "kill rate."

fair enough.....

therefore, let's assume b/c testing is now happening at a much quicker rate, the infected jumps by a factor of 4 and the death toll number remains the same in relation to those confirmed to date.....

the only thing that happens there is the kill rate declines to the point where it becomes nothing more than the same as annual influenza....

when this all said and done, that's how she'll end as we've watched trillions taken out of the avg. joe's pocket for no fk'n reason....

at the end of the day, that's all that really matters, man....
