My premise was "we don't want people to die", but I now see how naive that is :laugh: It should've been "I don't want to die" or "I don't want to have the risk of dying" and in that case everything makes a lot more sense. That said, chances of me personally dying of COVID-19 are pretty slim, so I'd prefer everything to be as it was and risk getting some mild flu symptoms. That goes for lots of people though, so maybe we're something in between.

1,539,153 Deaths caused by smoking this year 770,064 Deaths caused by alcohol this year 1,692,170,966 Overweight people in the world 755,020,768 Obese people in the world Three very unnecessary products, tobacco, alcohol and fast food, take more lives than COVID-19 ever will. When will they be banned? When are we shutting down the economy for those? I know, the US already tried that with alcohol, but that's about a 100 years ago (not that I think it would be successful now). Basically, what we're saying is that 177,000 deaths from COVID-19 is a real crisis, but 1,539,153 deaths from smoking (that's more than eight times as many) is fine. The current measures will result in an economic crisis of proportions that we haven't seen before. The 2008 crisis alone took more lives than COVID-19. I guess more deaths is a fair price to save fewer lives. I'm just a bit confused by the math of it all :confused: Of course all of this is less about numbers than it is about "how we feel".

Smoking, drinking, and eating cardboard fast food are choices -- you get what you ask for. I don't recall being given a choice about covid-19 -- for which there is no cure, and it won't go away until there is one, which could take a couple of years.

Times eight is what? And note that eight is a conservative estimate, given that it took a couple of months for it to gain a foothold in the entire world.

My cat doesn't kill people (while I'm awake) :D Of course what you say is true. But isn't it weird that we're all panicking over COVID-19 while tobacco kills 7 million people every year? No one says I'll have a COVID-19 virus please, but at the same time we smoke a pack a day. I mean, how hard is it to not start smoking? (apparently pretty difficult...) If people were as panicky about smoking as they were about COVID-19, smoking would be banned within weeks with some smoking license or free nicotine gum or whatever for those already addicted. It's not about the unnecessity of things, but about the dangers.
Best, Sander sanderrossel.com Migrating Applications to the Cloud with Azure arrgh.js - Bringing LINQ to JavaScript Object-Oriented Programming in C# Succinctly
We don't smoke a pack a day. Individuals choose whether to smoke. Each person weighs the risk of activities in which they can engage. If social distancing wasn't mandated, some people would practice it to be safer, and others wouldn't. There would be businesses that enforced it and others that didn't. For the most part, governments have decided to enforce a one-size-fits-all policy, which is quite typical of what they do. Some people agree with it and others think it's overdone. The trade-off is between saving an unknown number of lives and seriously damaging the economy. Governments don't want to be blamed for deaths and think that money-printing can fix economic downturns, so their choice is unsurprising.

I have answered to that multiple times: CP is capable of handling an unspecified nick, it makes no assumptions. It shouldn't be more difficult to handle an unspecified country. I have neither specified a nick nor a country - CP itself decided to locate me in one specific country. My reason for not using a name/nick is because I want the reader to focus on what I am saying, not on who is saying it. Not on which country the writer comes from, but what he is saying. If my country has any significance to what I am saying, I mention it. I am sure that if CP had a country value of "unspecified", you wouldn't be bothered by me stating my country whenever relevant. What causes problems is that CP assumes USA as the country until explicitly changed. The problem is with CP, not with me.
Interesting. I just looked, and there is an "Other" setting for "Your Country", so you could try that. Maybe I'll try it myself, because the farm where a dairy cow gets milked isn't relevant to this site.

It's really hard to tell, because many countries only report deaths if the victim tested positive and died in hospital, and others have other restrictions; and while the number of asymptomatic people is now known to be high, it will be a while before we know how high. But it's possible that neither figure will ever be known with dead-on balls accuracy, so statistical analysis might prove to be more accurate (but we won't know for sure that it is). That said, this is scientific doubt, so don't be swayed by people who misrepresent that as "no-one knows what they're talking about" doubt

Those are surprising numbers, but it's mostly speculation. Between 0.1% and 5% is a huge margin. Still, 50 million lives is only 0.65% of the total population. While only a small percentage, that would double the deaths this year, except not everyone who dies from COVID-19 would not have died otherwise so the actual number is somewhat smaller. Of course, with 500 million lives that quickly turns into 6.5% which is significant. That's an absolute worst case scenario though. Most young and healthy people only get mild flu symptoms, if any at all, and those aren't currently tested. However, there have been reports that lockdowns have had a minimum effect. That would mean the virus would somehow have stopped by itself, but that's, again, speculation. However, if you look at the deaths we're going to face in the coming years because of the global economic crisis, the measures we've taken now may actually do more harm than good. Between 2008 and 2010, 500,000 extra people died of cancer in the USA alone, simply because they were unemployed and couldn't afford healthcare. People are now starving in Africa and Asia because the lockdown prevents them from working and getting their daily pay. Suicides go up in times of economic recession, in 2009 this was 5000. Of course, 5000 is a small number, but it indicates people are generally less happy and face more stress. That could reduce life expectancy in the long term. Of course I don't have exact numbers of the people saved, but it's not as simple as saying "x people did not die from COVID-19 so we saved x people." Those x people account for y deaths elsewhere and all I'm saying is y may be as high or even higher as x, but we'll probably never know for sure. Meanwhile, it should be relatively easy to save 7 million people every year by banning tobacco (unfortunately, it's not THAT easy, I know). All in all, I'm really glad I don't have to make the decisions here :laugh:

Sander Rossel wrote:

It can be misperceived that way because lockdown was implemented a week or two too late, in all but a few countries, and the death rates that we've been seeing are the victims who were infected before lockdown. When the death rates drop, it's not because the virus has gone away, it's because the lockdown effect has caught up, and less people are infected. E.g. New York should be moving into a "recovery" stage, about now (if too many people didn't badly breach the lockdown), but without the lockdown, the current figures would continue until herd immunity was achieved in New York -- i.e. until everyone who might possibly be killed by the virus is dead, leaving the thinned-out "herd" to survive (until the virus mutates, which it will, to kill another n% of the population). A lot of people in Italy, Spain, and a few US states breached lockdown, in many cases very badly, so their recovery stages have been delayed -- and will continue to be delayed until a few weeks after everyone stops breaching, or until everyone who could die from it is dead. Note that those delays are imposed not by the authorities, but by the life-cycle of the virus.

Not the kind of thing to take a gamble on, given that all evidence that we currently have points in the other direction.

He has tendencies to drama. :rolleyes: But he's not alone in that. Wearing a mask in public is cheap and simple, and most probably reasonably efficient. So why not? Not meeting other people is obviously the most efficient way to not getting infected there is, so if you can work from home, you should.

You sort of get it. Just - since you've done this before - you clearly identify as Norwegian - and have no problem using it when it suit you. As it is, however, when it doesn't suit you, your identified as USA. Since your ID is just a number, it's not automatically recognized as "you". so, unless you're embarrassed about it, update your profile. The same can be said for a nick-name. The lack of either, and the unwillingness to do anything about it when it being "spun" by you into an asset of "don't look at me - look at what I post" excuse just doesn't cut it. I doubt, seriously, if even you ever believed that. Unless - of course - you are ashamed of being Norwegian.

Actually, the website says "this year" so I assume that's 1.5 million deaths from smoking in a little under four months. That seems about right, according to Fast Facts | Fact Sheets | Smoking & Tobacco Use | CDC[^] which states 7 million deaths per year. The #1 preventable cause of death. Yet we do nothing. Well, that's not completely true, there are anti-smoking laws. But it's nothing compared to what we're doing against the far less deadly COVID-19. Here's a comparable website for alcohol: Alcohol Facts and Statistics | National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)[^] (although it's USA specific). "making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. The first is tobacco, and the second is poor diet and physical inactivity." According to the WHO alcohol causes 5 million deaths a year worldwide[^]. Maybe people "choose" to smoke, drink or eat unhealthy so we'll allow it. I have no data on deaths from passive smokers or casualties from drunk drivers. So I wonder, if we can fight COVID-19 so vigorously and are apparently willing to sacrifice the economy and many more lives to save statistically few lives, why can't we do the same with tobacco, unhealthy food and alcohol? :confused: I guess COVID-19 floods the intensive care while the others do not and that makes all the difference?
