LOL, I was actually thinking this myself. Like where did JJG go? Is he alive, is his ghost haunting my keyboard?

This silly virus doom and gloom when things are bullish af has brought it out in me.

I think Ive made my points clearly and dont have to much more to prove on the whole COVBULL-19 thing so it shouldn't be that wordy going forward.  

Im thinkin like 14k. But 12.5 works too.

MARCH 4, 2020
expert reaction to WHO Director-General’s comments that 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died globally

Prof Mark Woolhouse, Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, University of Edinburgh, said:

"The WHO is using the official figure for confirmed cases as the denominator, and this gives the estimate of 3.4%.  But if a significant number of mild cases have been missed or not reported then this estimate is too high.  Though there is disagreement about this, some studies have suggested that it is approximately 10 times too high.   This would bring the death rate in line with some strains of influenza  . "



Prof Christl Donnelly, University of Oxford, and WHO Collaborating Centre for Infectious Disease Modelling, Imperial College London, said:

"Our analyses have included estimates of the case fatality ratio, but also the infection fatality ratio. The infection fatality ratio is the proportion of infections (including those with no symptoms or mild symptoms) that die of the disease.  Our estimate for this is 1%. This is lower than the observed 3.4% figure because asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic cases are included in the denominator.”

If you wanted some guys with fancy degrees who wear white coats to tell you what I pretty much already told you, well there it is. COVBULL-19 is not nearly as deadly as all the hype and hysteria of money printers would lead you to believe.

Stay Bullish Boyz, everything is gonna be alright.

67 days till the Halvening and all is well.

Good find. I stand corrected. Although Im sure people can and do get permits and move, it never occurred to me they couldn't live where they wanted if they could afford it.

Seems I overestimated what an an authoritarian shithole it really is. LOL, nice goin commies!   Shit like this is why Bernie got rekt by an old man who barely knows where he is when he is tired. Capitalism beats central planning based systems like communism.

Well Ill let V8s go on a fact finding mission and investigate who is correct, wikipedia or  internations.org

Perhaps I got bad info from what looked to be a decent source.

Doesn't change the crux of my Diamond Princess argument in the slightest.

Nitpicking imo is merely a time wasting strategy to fill the void where good arguments are lacking. This statement is not directed at you HM. You presented an interesting fact that I'm happy to learn.

https://www.internations.org/go/moving-to-china/healthcare

"China does have free public healthcare which is under the country’s social insurance plan. The healthcare system provides basic coverage for the majority of the native population and, in most cases, expats as well. However, it will depend on the region you reside in. As some areas don’t require their foreign residents to support the local healthcare system by paying the appropriate taxes, those residents will not be covered by public healthcare."  

These sources appear to be in conflict as slightly more people live in urban areas than not. One of them seems incorrect and Im not flying to Wuhan to find out.  

Either way, I would still say that even if Wikipedia is the correct source, that free healthcare is available to all, bc everyone in an urban area is free to move out to the suburbs or country to get free healthcare.

Tell me more.  

The quote of mine you are nitpicking kindly attempting to correct me about is this one

"Its easy to see why the commies in China got overrun, they have free healthcare for all which means a shitty healthcare system."

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg53963505#msg53963505

The communist regimes social insurance plan doesn't cover everything, it looks to be about 50-70 percent of patients costs, but it does cover almost everyone. So most everyone does get free healthcare, but its not all free.

I prefer using generalizations instead of making everything a dissertation bc I dont have time for that, and nobody wants to read giant text walls of details, they are smart enough to get the point.


Anywayz, you didn't rebutt my assertions with arguments, rather you went fact checker on me, but the one you mentioned was actually not an error at all.

Maybe when your done walking your dogs you can do enough homework to actually be able to rebutt the assertions in my reply to you with some good arguments, and rethink your taste in memes involving nice girls licking each other 

Good points about Trump. But I think communism is inherently hostile to Bitcoin and Bernie will love the Fed once he can control it just like Trump went from bashing money printing to become the King of money printers. Also its really the communist idealogues that Bernie will appoint that I worry about. He will but ultra left communist at heart leaning types in charge of the Fed, the Treasury etc, and they will likely imo be ultra Bitcoin hostile as they dont like capitalism or private capital, and Bitcoin is the ultimate form of private capital.

Luckily imo I dont have to worry about this bc Bernie looks to be toast and will no doubt endorse the establishment candidate just like he did with Hillary.

The casinos are pretty normal. Maybe a bit slower than usual, but not much. They probably are doing bad as far as profit since they lost the Chinese VIP's, but those peeps are prolific wealthy gamblers. Asian culture is huge on gambling, and the ones that make the trip skew highly to the wealthy side, so Id guess losing an average Chinese customer is like losing 10 customers from California where Vegas gets most of its business.

Conferences are being canceled here and there, but that wont take effect till down the road. People plan their trips to Vegas pretty far in advance so thats probably why it hasnt changed much. Also since California is about 40 percent of Vegas business, I would guess that Vegas is deemed safer than Cali, so those people feel like they are getting away from Coronavirus threats when they go to LV.  

Gamblers are inherent risk takers. Who knows the Virus hysteria might make it more exciting for some.

Some of the gamblers who stay home will be jonesing for some action and will likely take a chance on King Bitcoin to get their fix.  

This new green dildo on the daily chart has us firmly in a nice uptrend now. Shouldnt take long to knock on 10ks door.

You musta missed this meme with the girlz.   via Imgflip Meme Generator

Viruses tend to get less lethal overtime as they mutate bc its hard to spread your ilk around when you kill the host too often and too quickly. So if you get a new strain its probably less deadly than the Diamond Princess early strain with its low mortality rate.

The whole point is, the Diamond Princess sample group is the only group that makes any sense to attempt to extrapolate a mortality rate since everyone was tested regardless of symptoms. Until something better comes along this is the Bitcoin Standard for mortality rates, and its low af, and the people were about 2 decades older than a general population, so we have rock solid evidence that the mortality rate is most likely a lot lower than .85 percent. My guess is as low as .2 to .4 percent.

Mutations will more likely bring this down than bring it up imo bc lower lethality is a survival advantage for a virus.

TLDR: Buy Bitcoin, COVBULL-19 is not nearly as lethal as advertised but money printers are going nutz anywayz.

 

Didnt a government funded lab in China cause this problem in the first place. The pressure China feels to research and create bioweapons comes from them wanting to keep up with the West who spends large amounts doing the same.

"trained about 5,000 people in 30 African and Asian countries, and has built or strengthened 60 medical research laboratories, mostly in poor countries."

I realize this program sounds fairly harmless on the surface, but at the end of the day it still funded 60 labs researching viruses mostly in countries other than our own. Who is to say what these poorer countries and their corrupt leaders will do with the labs. Could come in handy if they go rogue and want to make a bioweapon to hurt their own people or enemies. Im glad its gone tbh.

Giving poor countries money that can be used for weapons research rarely ends well. To me this whole thing smells like an excuse to hand over money to corrupt foreign regimes in exchange for increased U.S. influence in doing the kind of shit we love best, causing tons of trouble in all poor countries who dont kiss our ass at all times.

Sup bears.

Bernie Bros completely rekt. https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/3633/Who-will-win-the-2020-Democratic-presidential-nomination

Now we dont have to worry about a Bitcoin hostile communist idealogue in the White House for 4 years. Bullish as hell, even the stock market loved it.

Of course Im using official numbers that arent from a lying communist regime. The point was never about who had official numbers or not.  

The difference is Im using the only sample so far where an entire large population group was tested, regardless of symptoms.

Your core stats are most likely accurate.

Its your extrapolations that are futile because none of the nations tested entire populations regardless of symptoms. Rather they just tested mostly sick people or people known to be in direct contact with sick people.

This is guaranteed to miss tons of infected people with mild or no symptoms, making mortality rates based of these core stats utterly and completely useless no matter how hard anyone tries.

Luckily we have one sample group from the Diamond Princess that was different, bc every single person except 14 who got off early, were tested and we found that out of the 700 infected, only 6 died. Their is a small chance one more could pass away, but its highly unlikely at this point with the amount of time that has passed.

.85 percent mortality rate for a group of people 20 years older than average citizen is the best number we have so far. True mortality rate is probably half that at most for a normal age sample.

https://www.businessinsider.com/princess-cruise-passenger-dies-coronavirus-ship-heads-for-san-francisco-2020-3

We will be getting another sample soon for true mortality rate. I expect every single person on this ship will be tested in short order. Hint: most will survive. In fact, probably about 99.15 percent will make it, just like on the Diamond Princess, even though they are on average about two decades older than the general population.

Your death rate calculations are useless bc you dont know about the vast numbers of uncounted infected. You wont know this till they take a very large random sample of the population and test it, or test an entire village or town.

Whats the point of your incomplete stats. They tell us practically nothing except how likely you are to die if you get really sick and go to the hospital.

The Diamond Princess had 6 deaths out of 700. Highly unlikely anyone else dies out of that 700 bc the time of infection has been too long. .85 percent mortality is the ceiling based on best available evidence. The stats from countries who just test a few sick people are inferior and borderline useless for finding a true mortality rate or "death rate".

Its a cool way to spin it and try an trick low iq people into thinking this is super deadly though, so I guess its not totally useless.

The more people get tricked, the more hysteria and money printing we get so I encourage you to continue. I doubt many here will be fooled though.

Children are barely affected by this. Most have little to no symptoms and not a single death for the 9 and under group. Thats why canceling schools is just panic and hysteria. A better prevention tactic would be to restrict all children from visiting nursing homes and advising elderly and children to avoid each other in general until this blows over.

The panic is so extreme with this disease bc the power brokers of society are all old as hell and they would rather shut down society than risk meeting their maker a few months ahead of schedule. Have you ever seen bipartisan money get approved so fast in the U.S. Its bc all of the Senate, the House, and the President are old as hell. All the billionaire owners of the msm are old as hell too so they are directing their outlets to pump hysteria, bc they are scared themselves.

This is gonna play into Bitcoins hands as we know that old elites print money to attempt solving every problem they have ever encountered. This doomsday hysteria will be no different.

9000 here we come.
