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.

Don't confuse the 6% for COVID alone with "causal factor"
If you have a BMI > 30, systemic conditions (dozens), and you DON'T have COVID, your probability of death is documented at CDC
When you get COVID, and you have those underlying condition the "triggering" event is COVID
You died from COVID - the cause of death
Don't confuse the symptom with cause. The Cause in cases where you are infected with SAR-COV-2 is COVID
That's 6% is from uninformed, misinformed, and perhaps willfully misinformed supporters of the idea that COVID is just another respiratory disease, it's not. Please read the CDC data. It's the Excess Death rate you need to look at. The Excess Death rate is "driven" by COVID, therefore Cause os Death is COVID

You seem to be all over the place.
The cause of death being strictly from COVID-19 is a fraction of all deaths claimed.
ANY underlying condition that causes an immunodeficiency can affect health and ability to defend against COVID-19.
It's that simple.
My point is the death rate is extremely small compared to the case counts being pushed in order to sensationalize the news. It's also done by the left for political purposes.

You must have some inside track to data the rest of the population doesn't. You make these generalized statements which are your gut belief but certainly not based in fact. And if you say what you say is fact, point us to that font of undeniably factual information you speak of.
I pull from the CDC, NIH and numerous other sources.
I do not depend on the BS the media feeds you.
I also apply a little common sense and math to the numbers and data provided.
They are not my belief. They are factual data. You're welcomed to prove me wrong which NONE of you have done.

Look, my intent isn't to get involved in an argument. But it looks like you take what you say is good information, but then you tweak it to your satisfaction. Why would you doctor what you say is the real deal?
You are trying to tear me down with rhetoric and nothing more.
Put forth a cogent argument based on facts or shut up.
My primary source:
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm
I took the numbers, applied percentages along with facts that have been available since February.
I have no clue what that last sentence is supposed to be saying.

Ken, Ken, Ken - you're coming off as a tad paranoid. I'm not trying to tear you down. I'm merely inquiring about what you call facts. You see to speak with such authority. It's the stuff you're calling the real deal that's beig questioned. Calm down, bro.
My facts came from statistics posted by the CDC.
All I did was turn raw numbers into a percentage of a total number.
So, are you calling them a liar?
Others are based on a percentage of the US population.
