My thought is the baseline of cases is about 1000 if the death count is accurate.

It is far more likely they haven’t found people who lived with little or no symptoms than that the mortality jumped to 10%.

This is certainly the case. Younger healthy people who contract aren't getting very ill. The actual infection numbers are significantly higher than any reported numbers simply because there are quite a few asymptomatic carriers out there.

When I was a kid my dad was driving me somewhere on the freeway. I saw a sign for John Wayne airport and started laughing my rear end off because I thought it was ridiculous. My dad looked at me like I was insane.

lol gonna need a brief primer on this one, thanks in advance

and, before anyone points out he was too old to draft (as the chuds will do when you bring it up), I need to say that John Ford was like twenty years older than him, directed most of his goodest movies, AND joined and served honorably during ww2 making training films and newsreels, while John Wayne minced about on sound stages paying dues to the screen actors guild

They filmed a movie called The Conqueror downwind of a nuclear testing site, and breathing in radioactive dust isn't bad at all. They also took a bunch of the sand back to Hollywood to use on soundstages. Within 10 or 15 years almost half of the people who worked on the film had cancer, and about a quarter had died.

Someone looked into and the crew was within a few percent of general population cancer baseline. Wayne however had a multiple pack a day cigarette habit. So I think that is a better thing to place blame on.

Got a link? 45% getting cancer seems a little high to me.

Edit: the obscene number of cigarettes probably didn't help, regardless.

According to the National Cancer Institute, in 1980 the chances of being diagnosed with a cancer sometime in your lifetime was about 41%, with mortality at 21.7%. And, right on the button, People's survey of The Conqueror's crew found a 41.4% incidence with 20.7% mortality. (These numbers make an assumption of an age group of 20-55 at the time of filming.)

Lots of people die of weird poo poo before old age, cancer of any variety stands a good chance of getting anyone for a lot of reasons. Maybe you smoke, maybe you chew on knock-off tupperware, maybe diesel exhaust is all you breath at work. Most people don't make it to 70 or 80, they die from environmental causes, accidents, suicides, overdoses, etc.

Cancer having a 50/50 shot if you make it to old age shouldn't be surprising. poo poo, how many times has RBG had cancer now?

Trump’s rally is taking place across the street from my office today. The parking lot opened yesterday morning at 7am and people were lined up waiting to get in. Drove in this morning and saw dozens of tents set up in line. Half of our office is working from home today just so they don’t have to deal with it.

I do respect all the merch salesmen who set up tents and tables all around the area to sell lovely hats and Trump-Rambo flags to the chuds walking past. They probably make a killing following these rallies around the country.

I feel bad for the employees of the golden coral next door. They’re gonna get swamped today.

I saw the worst minds of the Me Generation destroyed by Obama, slavering hysterical MAGA’d, Rascalling themselves through the suburban streets at dawn looking for a fast Fox fix,
redhatted grifters jonesing for the senior discount connection to the chocolate wonderfall at the Golden Corral,
who brotrucked and Chargered and glass-eyed on oxy and basking in the disability checks of their children’s futures gloating behind the backs of wage slaves contemplating Rahowa,
who burned their brains on Rush under the Gipper and saw völkisch angels carting catsup to the carving station,
who rolled by the salad bar with deep fried stares hallucinating valor for entry level separations and scheming at war,
who were expelled from the brass bell for birthing genocide with strawberry and warm wet sweating gummy bodies,
who grunted in unmopped bathrooms in sweatpants, overflowing stools and wastebaskets embodying the Terror behind the stall,
who sheared their y’all qaeda beards shambling into Charleston to fawn before the smoothed cheeto benito,
and with the absolute heart of the poem of life butchered out of their own bodies they came to eat a thousand years.
