Is dying of Coronavirus....specially bad?

It really doesn't make sense...

How is the world afraid of a plague....other than anything else???

People due from ORDINARY FLU...in thousands every month!...and nobody is concerned....

Millions die of HUNGER every year...nobody cares!

Millions die of DIABETES,BLOOD PRESSURE and HEART DISEASES every single year...and nobody panics!

Several thousands die of CAR ACCIDENTS every year....it doesn't wreak havoc!!

Why is everyone afraid from dying from a virus....when they can die from ANYTHING else????????

What do you think???

Eh....trolling?

The last time I read the definition of that...it meant that a troller is someone who says provocative and angry things online....what part of what I said was angry??

I don't believe anything I said was wrong....people really die from very high blood pressure, as it leads in rupturing of blood vessels and internal bleeding..(I don't really think you are in place to tell me wrong....and living in a rich country like the USA doesn't put you there, unless you were a doctor....in poor countries medicine is not really that easy to get....)

I also forgot that people can die from very low blood pressure...but is quite rarer to happen..

What I mean by "it doesn't wreak havoc!" Is that people don't have this fear from dying out of the blue by being hit by a truck...which has an enormously higher rate of mortalities....as they are afraid from dying by that covid19..

And when I said "everyone" I meant "most people"....do I even have to explain that? This is an ordinary expression!

In general.....what I mean by "nobody cares" is that they don't exert a fraction of those efforts against covid19...against any of these other dangers!

Get it?

OP - you are very much uninformed about what is happening. This is no ordinary virus. You make an awful lot of assumptions - all of which are incorrect.

People are dying by the 1000's almost daily. So many infections the entire health care system is collapsing in the U.S. You sound like a few leaders who think "riding it out" is the best course. Such policy would risk the collapse of the whole system. Communities would cease to function.

Uncertainty

is a term perhaps not considered. Deaths appear randomized. Anybody can become infected, anybody can die.

There is no vaccine and no cure.

It has spread around the globe at an unprecedented rate. A real problem is that it's -

Asymptomatic

meaning people with no symptoms for weeks (or just as easily never show any) can spread the virus - which is HIGHLY contagious.

Pathogens that are more deadly are actually easier to control. I won't go into the details. You can do your own medical research. 

I'll agree with you on a major point I think you're trying to make. The situation many countries find themselves in could have been greatly mitigated with far less detrimental effects, if the proper course was chosen early on. But that's past. Now it's a very serious problem for most of the world -

And only to get much worse - for how long is but a best guess which depends solely on how people respond.

Mexico had chosen this course till a few days ago of "riding it out". They've reported very few cases thus far. (Gov. misinformation?) Reports are not reliable there. Many experts are very fearful for their peoples future if a "worst case scenario" should happen.

Such deaths have been anticipated. The people are in the "system" as arrangements are in place. These deaths usually take years, can be properly diagnosed and hopefully relief found to prolong life. The system is built to provide for peoples needs (in theory).

No such thing exists by covid-19. 

I do see where you're coming from - believe it or not. The consequences of "stay at home" and social distancing can appear greater than people dying , which is the normal course of things. All I can say is - educate yourself on all the issues and ask yourself if it were a family member who was healthy a week ago and dies due to the passing contact of a stranger - what your thoughts would be.

It Will pass - only if the vast majority of people take up the fight.

What is not understood or perhaps not comprehended is the potential inherent in the virus. If people act the "norm" ... well, doomsday books have been written for a long time. But this is real and not a made up story. Stuff can easily spin out of control - once started.

For Mustangmate :

Again I say, it's the fact that this virus killed 40000 people in 4 months.....hunger and starvation kills 20000+ every day!..day..not month...

I understand how dangerous a virus is....I have biology at school...and I watch news enough......I know Ebola and I know how lethal viruses are amazingly less dangerous than those highly contagious....

I know how THAT virus is dangerous....what really is interesting me is that the world is talking up a lot of measures to counter this virus....but not against any other means of death....ESPECIALLY starvation....

What IS weird to me is that Barely some world organisations work on that...but with barely any results to mention....

And every day....and every day....20000 people die of hunger...

So....what is exactly wrong with what I am saying??...really?

In worst case scenarios....covid19 will be as half as deadly as hunger alone.....

But what about hunger??...it will stay the same....the world wouldn't care to worry about it.....

oh....if one of my people gets infected and dies....I will feel deeply sorry...BUT that has nothing to do with these facts I am  saying!!

I am not saying that covid19 is not dangerous...this is a absurd!!

But,however...facts are facts....CERTAIN facts they are....not UNCERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS  as you claim....

The fact is hunger is a blue whale...while corvid19 is a reef shark...

I know it will pass...gosh...I am not being apocalyptic here!

All I say is that the world is treating every death reson with no relation to their statistics!!

That's all!! Really!!.....am I wrong?
