COVID-19 is the best thing to happen in modern times.

[Kraygee]

Most of you people would never admit to believing this, but this pandemic is the best thing to happen to this planet in 100 years. And even if you do agree, most would never publicly admit it due to the sensitive snowflakes in this society.

What is a better method of population control? What better way to eliminate a percentage of the world’s population than a virus that doesn’t care who or what you are; what religion you believe in or what measures you neglect to take in light of the evidence and facts presented.

This is evolution at its finest.

Sure there are are undeserving victims, but that’s just the way the dice rolled. People that aren’t taking precautions or taking this seriously will be weeded out and shown the preverbal door to whichever afterlife you choose to believe in.

We need a good cleanse - this planet is overpopulated and this virus is just what we needed.

If I happened to succumb to this then so be it. Just make sure you remember to support MY clients when this is all over.

This pandemic could have been avoidable if it weren't for thousands of stupid people.

A British dad believed to be the UK’s first coronavirus victim fears he caught the disease at an Austrian ski resort under investigation for negligence.

Ski resort accused of covering up coronavirus where 'UK patient zero caught it'

'People were hot and sweaty from skiing and waiters were delivering shots to tables in their hundreds. You couldn't have a better home for a virus'.

Hundreds die in Iran over false belief a poison can kill coronavirus - National | Globalnews.ca

The poisonings come as fake remedies spread across social media in Iran, where people remain deeply suspicious of the government after it downplayed the crisis for days before it overwhelmed the country.

According to the WHO latest studies, covid -19 will infect 80% of the world's population, 20% of the infected will be severely affected and 3% will die as a result of the infection.

With a population of approximately 7.8 Billion people, this means 6.2 Billion will be infected, 1.250 billion will be severely affected and 37.5 Million will die

This means over a year there will be about 103,000 deaths per day. There are approximately 70,000 daily births in the planet. meaning Covid-19 will result in a deficit of minus 33,000 per day

Yes, you can say this is a population control method issued by nature, something similar to the 1918 Spanish Flu.

In 1918 the world had a population of 1.8 billion (estimated) and 500 million were infected (about one- third) and 50 million died (10% of the infected)

Similar numbers, but a drop in the bucket compared to the total population of earth.

I'm guessing, but I'll challenge those numbers. We'll know more in a few weeks, but I believe that 3% figure is going to be revealed as way way off. This thing's going to turn out to have a mortality rate of less than .5%

As soon as they come up with a test for antibodies, we will know a lot more.

Schadenfreude is an easy indulgence until someone you care about suffers or dies. Not a judgment, just a warning. One way or another the pandemic will hurt all of us.

As we wax philosophical all I will say that is easy to assume a naturalistic viewpoint provided YOU are not part of the culled herd. I am one who will not engage in the commoditalization of human life

I saw an old man die in hospice a few weeks ago (no COVID, just old age). I had no direct connection to him, he was the husband of a friend of a member of my family. But still, seeing his suffering and then seeing the life go out of him, and feeling the sadness of his family really moved me. At the funeral again I really felt the loss, even though it was not my own.

No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man
is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine;
if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe
is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as
well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine
owne were; any mans death diminishes me,
because I am involved in Mankinde;
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

Just when it comes to MPA’s then?

Originaly the WHO said 45 to 65 Million will be infected, a 37 million figure is their most educated guess

As of 1:50 pm On Friday March 27th 566,269 people are infected and 24,361 are dead - about 4%

If social distancing continues and becomes the norm then I am sure glad and happy I did partake a lot in this hobby.

Well of course all of us don't want to end this way...All I can say is....Damn...COVID-19!

Whoever the savior is...Aside from receiving Nobel Prize...We will enshrine you as the Almighty God of MassagePlanet! All posted messages and comments here will start and end praising your name...Amen!

Let's start a GoFundMe to reward the one whoever cures COVID-19 with free spa visits for life!

The first part of your post doesn't makes sense and the other part is wrong. Not to mention that the math in your original post is completely off.

You first said 6.2 billion infected and 37 million dead, (which incidentally according to my quick math just about equals the .5% death rate I predicted, not the 3% mentioned). Now you're saying 45 to 65 million infected? Makes no sense.

The part that's wrong is your statement indicating 566k infected as of today. Those are just the confirmed cases. In fact the actual number of people who are infected is MUCH higher, and that's good news. The higher the number of people now infected, the greater the likelihood that this virus is actually not as deadly as first thought.

Oh, and in reference to Kraygee's original point....this disease by itself will have little to no effect on world pop. Even if anything remotely like the WHO prediction referenced by Henricas came to pass (which it won't), it would still only slightly slow population growth since the number of 70k births per day is way too low.

Much as I hate to say it, Trump will be proven right...everybody back to work by Easter.

You realize that we are all going to die Pandemic or not. My best friend died from being hit by a drunk driver but I still make drunk driving jokes. 2 uncles died from cancer and I still make cancer jokes. Life goes on no matter what happens.
