showtime Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 So many events have been either canceled or postponed so far. E3, SXSW, Warriors playing a home game vs the Nets with no fans in the arena, Schools canceling in-person classes, etc. Going to be insane as this gets worse.

Students have to vacate the dorms too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 3 hours ago, The Third Rider said: With a mortality rate of 3.4 percent you are looking at roughly 261,800,000 deaths (Note the USA has a population of 331,000,000). I am going to go out on a limb here and say this is a terrible idea. Mortality rate amongst people 10-39 is only 0.2% Roughly 131.5M US residents fall under that criteria. Testing it on them, that comes out to 263,000 people in the US. The number is probably even lower if you exclude people with pre-existing health conditions.

But he went to Skerries Community College and then Dublin City University for a degree in "applied physics". While I believe that Dr. Grimes is an in intelligent person, he got his PhD in physics. I'll trust the PhD biologist who went to Johns Hopkins and UCSD on a subject such as this. edit. Also, his numbers don't take into account the lack of testing here in the US and the fact that China was so quick to quarantine.

MacReady Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 These things really make you realize how non-scary slow zombie movies are. If the only way you can become a zombie is by being bitten by a zombie, every single slow zombie movie is stupid. If there were ever fast zombies though, we’d all be ****ed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole idea is the slow zombies grind you down, they keep coming and coming. But they're still slow zombies. I'm more scared of my neighbors German Shepard than a slow zombie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
