There’s Less Than 1% Chance of Catching Covid-19 Flying, Says Airline Exec
Executives from four major U.S. airlines share thoughts on blocked middle seats, the future of business travel, and the issues that’ll affect flying beyond the pandemic. (www.bloomberg.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
"Chickens have less than 1% chance of being eaten by a fox in a henhouse," says fox.
Since there are 40,000 chickens in a hen house that would make sense
That would be 400 chickens at 1 percent. Now you want to fly 1,000,000 chickens to WHERE?
They are depending on people thinking that a 1% risk is very small. It isn't.
As small as catching the flu. And survival rate is the same or less than the flu. Keep drinking the coolaid
Agree!!
NO!!!! And, not one single realistic statistic is above one percent. In fact, they're not even above a half percent. The ONLY significant percentages are those of older ages which are more at risk. Period.
The media is depending on the stupidity of the plethora of idiots in this nation that are too braindead to realize the media is sensationalizing the case count and entirely ignoring the death rate and particularly the demographics of those deaths.
Need proof? We were told from the start those most affected are those with underlying health conditions. That most certainly includes the older population. And, it includes those with asthma, diabetes, recent organ transplants and any health issue that results in an immunodeficiency.
So, how does that reflect in the numbers?
Age Range % of all deaths
Under 1 year 0.0103%
1–4 years 0.0077%
5–14 years 0.0165%
15–24 years 0.1865%
25–34 years 0.7795%
35–44 years 2.0382%
45–54 years 5.3526%
55–64 years 12.7631%
65–74 years 21.5703%
75–84 years 26.4644%
85 years plus 30.8108%
Total deaths as of 9/30: 194,091
This does not even begin to account for the recent information from the CDC that only about 9% of all COVID-related deaths were from ONLY COVID-19.
Death from pneumonia alone is about 50,000 per year. Some this year also had COVID-19 which complicated the pneumonia. That increased the death rate from the some 1.3 million pneumonia cases each year.
In most sets of ranges, the cut is by decade which makes more sense given the portion of deaths within 55-64 is significantly above age sixty.
Most will get the virus and recover without ever knowing they had it. Then, they'll be immune from there forward.
Seriously... how many times have you heard the media talk about age demographics or stress that the elderly and others with underlying health conditions should remain home? The answer is, little to none.
