Biker would have you think so.
So were you masking before the pandemic? You know the common flu kills too
Why am I not surprised that you can't understand the difference between a pandemic and the common flu.

you have to be kidding? statistically 1% means that 1% will die. That is 1 out of 100 no matter how you slice it.
Okay, now extrapolate from there. The United States has roughly 330 million people, right? Now, this disease from China has a LESS THAN one percent fatality rate, but let's round up to one percent.
That means out of that population, 326,700,000 Americans out of 330,000,000 have NOT been killed by China.

Which doesn't even take into account all the filthy border-jumping foreign invaders who aren't exactly raising their hands to be counted.

And while I wholeheartedly agree that the entire planet should send China a bill for those dead Americans, its silly to live in fear over a less than 1 percent fatality rate.
I can see that numbers aren't really in your wheel house. I have no idea what you are trying to say here.
Let me clarify, then. The numbers show that your chances of dying from China's virus are statistically so low that it doesn't make sense to spend your life living in fear of it. Stupid people do that.
Are you going to spend your life worrying about being hit by lightning? Being bitten by a shark? Having an airplane crash into your house?
1% is not statistically low.

Chances of being hit by lightning: are 0.0002%
Chances of being bitten by a shark: are 0.00000267%.
Chances of an airplane crashing into your house: Well, the chances of dying in a plane crash are 0.000000909%

Those are all much different than 1% as you can probably tell. Those three examples you gave are statistically very low.

If they weren't statistically very low, then their numbers would be up in the hundreds of thousands a year, like covid deaths are.

I believe you are missing his point. I'm not even sure what things people could experience at a1% fatality rate. But whatever those are, "they" effectively shut down the entire World economy like this was some plague outbreak of biblical proportion that threatened the entire human race with extinction. Dumbest thing by far I've ever seen in my life. There is no 2nd place.

If you are a driver in a Grand Prix race, your chances of dying are 1 in 100 (1%). And about half that bad 1 in 167 (0.5%) of dying if you are climbing one of the peaks in Nepal.

You know, those "slim chance" type of endeavors.

And they wouldn't shut down the local economy for that, would they? Hell, it would help because of all the extra tickets sold. See how that works.

And just a reminder if you are the government, if more than 1 ticket wins the lottery using the same numbers, you are required to shut down your entire economy for a year. It's the new rule.

Truff! Lets try to get it back on track.

Debbie Harry, 76, shows off her bold sense of style as she proves she's still rocking it with standing ovation at Glasgow gig
There aren't many singers who receive a standing ovation before a performance.

However, Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry isn't just any singer.

The 76-year-old rocker wowed the crowd at Glasgow's Hydro arena on Friday night before she sang a single note as the iconic American band kicked off their first UK tour in five years.

No one is living in fear, Karen. Taking common sense Covid precautions is not "living in fear".
That's just a term you far-right, lunitic fringe, conspiracy theoryists have latched onto.
You mask every time you're in public. Thats living in fear, dipshit
No. It's not. It's common-sense precautions. I am not "living in fear".
You are, though. But it wasn't just the masks I was talking about. I was mainly thinking about how you people want motherfuckers to have to carry around vaccine passports to get into places, like we're jews in fucking Nazi Germany. And the demands to shut everything down (except when a democratneeds a haircut or wants to party with their friends).

if you happen to be a driver in that grand prix race, then yes. that would be more dangerous than Covid. But you'd be safer climbing Mount Everest than trying to live through Covid.
